Cifuentes on Dunne: "He deserves everything. Players show character not only in the good moments but also when things are not going their way. When he was not starting, he was always first in training, supporting his team-mates. I’m very happy for him. Quality human being." #QPR

No one wants to lose games but I don't think that was terrible from #QPR . Mistake for the goal but looked well organised. Decision-making in the final third left a lot to be desired - some poor passes when things started to open up - but that will improve when Chair is back.
