Derbies are tough for Rangers
With yesterday’s 4-0 defeat now in the history books, Fulham have successfully beaten their neighbours in seven of their last eight encounters, Rangers’ last win coming at Loftus Road in December of the 2012-13 Premier League season. Considering the depth and wealth of talent in the QPR squad over recent history, this is a surprising statistic. There is a similar record against their other rivals Chelsea, a Shawn Wright-Phillips goal provided their last win against the current Premier League champions in January of 2013. Admittedly, however the Blues are considered the better side.
3 – QPR have been on the receiving end in three of the last four instances of Fulham scoring 3 times before HT in a league game. Cursed.

QPR may have more success later this campaign when they play Brentford. Though they have not met since 2004, Ramsey’s men do have the advantage historically. Yet, if their loss to Fulham is anything to go by, the Hoops could be in trouble.
