Match facts
QPR are unbeaten in six league matches against Leeds (W3 D3) since a 2-1 defeat on the final day of the 2010-11 season.
Since a 6-1 win in November 2004, courtesy of four Brian Deane goals, Leeds have failed to score more than twice in any of their 13 league games against QPR, scoring just 12 goals.
Ian Holloway has not lost any of his last four home league meetings with Leeds (W3 D1) - he last tasted defeat in November 2006 as Plymouth boss, as Dennis Wise's Leeds won 2-1 at Home Park.
Leeds have not won an away league match in London since March 2015, a 3-0 win at Fulham; they have drawn four and lost six of their 10 matches in the capital since.
QPR full-back Jake Bidwell has had more shots without any of them being on shot on target (14) than anyone else in the Championship this season.
Leeds have conceded the first goal in seven Championship matches this season and lost all seven - they last avoided defeat in a Championship match when conceding first on the final day of last season against Wigan.
So there we are then, according to the stats all we have to do is avoid conceding the first goal, we are well overdue a win against this lot
so I'll go for a cheeky 1-2 scoreline with Caleb and Alioski doing the damage

A bit late but great result today, good for goal difference too. We went 1-0 up while I was smack bang in the middle of our towns busiest roundabout so nearly cleaned a few fools out On to the budgies next

Watched the game. A good three points. However we made it hard for ourselves with their goal.
First Jansson casually gives them a corner when I thought he could have just cleared it upfield. Then Felix misjudged the bounce. Schoolboy error but he knows that.
Roofe is better upfront no doubt about it.
Saiz needs to stop trying too hard and pass the bloody ball! He should have put us three up but his control let him down.
In the end we just had more class than QPR and it showed at times.
The old Fitbit heart rate monitor went haywire for the last few minutes!

Said earlier in season saiz needs to improve his decision making. Shoots when he should pass, passes when he should shoot!

Yeah he’s infuriating at times but when he’s good he’s damn good!

Don’t you just love BBC sport. Right footed shot?
“Goal! Queens Park Rangers 1, Leeds United 2. Pawel Wszolek (Queens Park Rangers) right footed shot from outside the box to the centre of the goal following a corner.”

Great hatrick from Roofe, that last goal showed intelligence to delay the shot and cut in. Got to be given the run upfront now with Ekuban injured. 8 goals in 5 games up front I think, shows he is a striker not a winger

9 for the season I think.
