Sheffield Wednesday suffered a second successive 3-0 defeat on Sunday afternoon, being put to the sword by QPR at Loftus Road.
Two goals from substitute Rayan Kolli, who fired in both efforts in the second half, and one from Rumarn Burrell sealed a convincing win for the Hoops, meaning Wednesday’s winless run now stands at 19 games.
Wednesday, who are hoping to bring in some fresh faces this month, were second best for much of the first half, failing to test former Owl Ben Hamer in the QPR goal, but they were much-improved after the break, showing a desire and willingness to take the game to their hosts.
However, gaping holes in their defence were exploited by Kolli, who fired in two fantastic efforts to put the contest to bed.
Here is how we rated the players at Loftus Road:
9. Charlie McNeill - 5
Played between the lines, attempting to try and get Wednesday up the pitch and into attacking areas. He claimed the Owls' first shot on target of the game in the first half, testing Ben Hamer from distance. | UGC
10. Jamal Lowe - 5
Led the Wednesday press and nearly forced QPR goalkeeper Ben Hamer into an early mistake. Wasted a great chance to assist a potential equaliser in the second half, passing the ball into Hamer's hands when he attempted to square for Cadamarteri. | UGC
11. Bailey Cadamarteri - 5
Got back to make an important defensive contribution after 30 minutes, turning a QPR cross behind for a corner when it was begging for a touch. He never stopped huffing and puffing at the top end of the pitch, trying to offer Wednesday an outlet on the break, but he was starved of service. | UGC
12. Liam Palmer - 5
Introduced in place of Iorfa, Palmer slotted in at right-sided centre-back. QPR's second and third goals came from the other side of the pitch, meaning he had no blame in those. | UGC
