    • 87' Wright-Phillips is forces a corner for QPR.
    • 86' West Brom sub: Tamas on, Morrison off

    • 83' Mackie gets a sight of goal, but his low shot is stabbed away by Olsson.
    • 81' QPR very disjointed when they go forward. Just lacking some quality as they go forward.

    • 72' Mackie finds Cisse, who attempts to play it back to the striker - but Mackie is surrounded by red shirts.
    • 71' West Brom are continuing to sit back as they try to catch QPR on the break. Will it work?
    • 70' Fortune loses the ball and Taarabt, who has no QPR player in support, goes for goal from 25 yards. But it's tame and Foster gathers.
    • 69' The changes have worked for Harry Redknapp, and there is a cracking atmosphere inside the stadium now.
    • 68' Mackie unleashes a venomous strike from 25 yards, but Foster holds on.
    • 67' GOAL! Cisse scores for QPR! Mbia drives through the centre and plays in Cisse, who lifts the ball over Foster with a single touch. Real moment of quality by Cisse, and QPR are back in it.
    • 66' Another big chance for Lukaku, who drives a low effort at goal from a tight angle - but Green pulls off another good save with his feet.
    • 65' Positive changes by Redknapp, who changes to a 3-5-2. Traore, Ferdinand & Hill the back three, with SWP moving to the right wing to accommodate Hoilett on the left.
    • 64' QPR sub: Diakite on, Faurlin off
    • 63' QPR sub: Hoilett on, Fabio off
    • 62' Harry Redknapp is going to bring on Hoilett. Diakite ready to come on too.
    • 61' Mackie's shot is blocked by Ridgwell. West Brom standing up well to these waves of attacks.
    • 59' Fabio goes for goal with a volley from 20 yards that skims off the right of his boot and flies wide.
    • 58' Mackie delivers a superb cross from the right but it evades everyone and flashes across goal.
    • 56' Fabulous move by West Brom, who open QPR up with ease - but Green saves his side with a good save from Lukaku, who was clean through.
    • 55' But Taarabt's corner floats straight into Foster's arms. Taarabt's delivery just hasn't been good enough.
    • 54' Good play by Wright-Phillips again, as the winger forces a QPR corner.
    • 53' West Brom are happy to sit back now. They've been very good today, despite the controversial nature of their second goal.
    • 51' Harry Redknapp cannot believe the goal has gone against his side. A real sense of injustice around Loftus Road.
    • 50' GOAL! QPR 0-2 West Brom! Extraordinary goal as Rob Green palms the ball into his own net, despite being clearly impeded by Fortune. Had to be a foul, but the goal is given.
    • 49' Ferdinand almost scores an own goal as Jones's cut back deflects off the defender and just wide.
    • 48' QPR chance as Taarabt's corner finds Mbia, but his free header goes back to Taarabt. Awful header, big miss.
    • 47' Mulumbu finds Lukaku, who can't get a shot away. The Belgian gets a second bite at the cherry after Mulumbu wins it back, but stabs a tame effort straight at Green.
    • 46' SECOND HALF. QPR get us back underway at Loftus Road.
    • HT QPR 0-1 West Brom at the break. Brunt's Christmas firecracker the difference between the sides.
    • 45'+1 Big chance for 2-0. QPR again fail to deal with a high ball, and Morrison bends a shot just wide from 25 yards. Very decent effort.
    • 45' Harry Redknapp looks rather disgruntled.
    • 44' More awful defending by QPR. This time Morrison pounces on the loose ball and rolls it to Gera, who fires just wide from the edge of the box.
    • 43' QPR a bit sloppy at the back as West Brom threaten a second.
    • 42' Hill heads just wide from Taarabt's corner.
    • 41' Brunt swing s a wonderful corner into the box, but Green does very well to punch away under pressure.
    • 40' Taarabt driving forward but he is dispossessed by Olsson's superbly-timed tackle. Mackie furious Taarabt didn't play him in.
    • 39' Faurlin is down and receiving treatment. Harry Redknapp and Joe Jordan are discussing their options here.
    • 38' Promising counter-attack by West Brom, but Morrison overhits his through ball to Fortune and the chance is gone.
    • 37' Taarabt bends a beautiful free-kick around the wall but a few inches wide. Close.
    • 36' Gera is penalised for a foul on Cisse and QPR have a free-kick 25 yards out. A very soft decision.
    • 35' West Brom sub: Ridgewell on, Popov off.
    • 34' Popov has gone down clutching his hamstring, and he will have to come off here.
    • 33' Chance for QPR as Mackie's deflected cross is headed away from the danger area by McAuley.
    • 32' That goal has further hushed Loftus Road. The home fans very quiet at the moment.
    • 31' Mbia lets fly with a similar effort to Brunt's that just flew in, but Foster is equal to it - palming the low shot around his post.
    • 29' West Brom have their tails up now as Morrison goes for goal with a dipping volley that drops onto the roof of the net.
    • 28' GOAL! Brunt scores for West Brom! A fantastic goal out of nothing as the midfielder drives forward and lets fly from 25 yards with a superb low strike into the bottom corner. 1-0 Baggies.
    • 26' Brunt swings a wonderful free-kick in but Ferdinand gets his head to the ball ahead of Lukaku.
    • 25' Taarabt is in a great position 25 yards out, but dribbles into trouble and Mulumbu dispossesses him. Waste.
    • 24' West Brom just a bit sloppy in possession so far. QPR pressing well in midfield.
    • 22' QPR chance! Best chance of the game so far as Wright-Phillips drives between Mulumbu and Brunt and clips a lovely cross to Mackie, whose glancing header goes just wide. The forward was at full stretch to reach that.
    • 21' Cisse turns and shoots, but he can't get ahold of the ball and Olsson blocks.
    • 20' This Boxing Day game a little lacklustre at the moment. The fans waiting for a special moment to ignite the game.
    • 19' West Brom trying their luck from distance whenever they get the chance, but Mulumbu goes high and very wide.
    • 18' The defender is back on his feet and we are underway again.
    • 15' The game has stopped while Anton Ferdinand receives treatment for an ankle injury.
    • 14' West Brom are beginning to exert their influence here. The Baggies seeing far more of the ball in midfield.
    • 13' Taarabt looks early for Cisse, but again Foster is quickly off his line to gather.
    • 12' West Brom a little disjointed when they go forward. QPR showing the greater threat going forward.
    • 10' Good move by QPR. Taarabt feeds Fabio, whose early cross finds Mackie. Mackie's hooked volley is palmed out by Foster for a QPR corner.
    • 9' Brunt's corner is cleared, but he gets a second chance to play it in - but the whistle goes for a foul on Green. Not sure there was much in that.
    • 8' West Brom break quickly and Lukaku forces a corner.
    • 7' Faurlin plays a clever pass forward towards Cisse, but it skids off the surface and into Foster's arms.
    • 6' Mulumbu escapes a yellow card after a late challenge 25 yards from the Baggies goal.
    • 5' Taarabt gets the ball from Cisse's flick, but Taarabt drags his shot well wide.
    • 4' West Brom on the front foot again as Lukaku fires wide, but Green yet to be tested in the QPR goal.
    • 3' West Brom move forward but Morrison's effort from distance trickles wide.
    • 2' Mbia lets fly from 25 yards but it whistles just wide. Foster was scrambling there.
    • 1' KICK OFF. West Brom get us underway.
    • 15.10 The players have emerged from the tunnel and we are about to get underway at a drizzly Loftus Road.
    • 15.05 Here are some pre-match stats to get your teeth into... QPR have won just one of their last four home games against the Baggies (W1 D1 L2), but manager Harry Redknapp has a record of won four, drawn three and lost one against West Brom as a coach in the Premier League. The Baggies have won five and lost just one of the last nine league games against Rangers, while Chris Brunt has scored in his three of his last four games against QPR at Loftus Road (two for WBA, one for Sheffield Wednesday).
    • 15.00 Just a reminder that today's game between QPR and West Brom has been delayed until 3.15pm. Heavy traffic around Loftus Road delayed West Brom's arrival at the stadium.
    • 14.50 Steve Clarke: "To be sitting on 30 points before the halfway stage is a good achievement for them. We can use that as a springboard and an inspiration to do even better during the second half of the season. It has given us a great platform to build on for 2013 and we will give everything in the remaining games to complete the job we have started."
    • 14.40 Harry Redknapp: "It disturbed me when a player doesn't want to sit on the bench when you are bang in trouble. We are all in trouble. The owner and the fans see their team losing every week and suddenly you get someone who doesn't want to sit on the bench. He (Bosingwa) said: 'I don't want to sit on the bench.' He thinks he is too good to sit on the bench. That is what disturbs me in this game. I have seen one or two incidents that have disturbed me."
    • 14.35 West Brom's Youssouf Mulumbu returns after suspension. The midfielder was unavailable for the weekend home win over Norwich after incurring five bookings this season. But defender Steven Reid (ankle) and midfielder Claudio Yacob (hamstring) remain out.
    • 14.30 QPR goalkeeper Julio Cesar (back) returns to the bench, but full-backs Nedum Onuoha and Armand Traore miss out with hamstring injuries. Park Ji-Sung (knee), Andrew Johnson (knee) and Bobby Zamora (hip) remain absent.
    • 14.25 Today's match will now kick-off at 3.15pm, because the West Brom team bus arrived at Loftus Road late after being stuck in traffic.
    • 14.20 QPR: Green, Traore, Ferdinand, Hill, Cisse, Taarabt, Wright-Phillips, Mackie, Fabio, Faurlin, Mbia. Subs: Diakite, Derry, Granero, Hoilett, Ehmer, Dyer, Cesar. /// WEST BROM: Foster, Jones, McAuley, Olsson, Popov, Mulumbu, Morrison, Fortune, Gera, Brunt, Lukaku. Subs: Myhill, Ridgewell, Rosenberg, Long, Dorrans, Odemwingie, Tamas.

  1. Harry will take down any side he coaches ....­ portsmouth !!! southampton !!! he will do what he does­ best and spend a fortune in the January window.­ Desperate Harry !!!

    From chris, on Wed 26 Dec 17:33

  2. Its like the stars lined up to doom us with that second­ goal from WBA which was clearly goalie interference and­ that blatent handball which the linesman forgot to­ see.However big picture is terrible tacticts and­ formation from the start and we only played when we­ fell 2 down.We need to play 2 up front and outwork­ liverpool from the start or we will get nothing

    From Born to Run, on Wed 26 Dec 17:12

  3. So it's Mark Hughes fault is it, Harry talks a good­ game & that's about it.

    From D, on Wed 26 Dec 17:06

  4. Hajra Albion!! 2 members of the Hungarian Baggies­ supporters club are well pleased!!

    From Tony, on Wed 26 Dec 16:56

  5. Get rid all of them make new team with new players­ because its not the manager fault !!!!! Think.....

    From Srawut, on Wed 26 Dec 16:37

  6. QPR please get rid of Robert Green! He is terrible!­ Cesar starts an get a new backup!.....

    From Chad, on Wed 26 Dec 16:35

  7. Even the Ref and Linesman are against us today but to­ be fair we are brutal and how many goals have we­ conceeded from Corners this year its just shocking­ defending and our corners are worse with Taarabt­ kicking them like a pub league player

    From Born to Run, on Wed 26 Dec 16:34

  8. What a discraceful display from QPR on the heels of­ that Newcastle game we are pathetic today and are­ getting what we deserve nothing.Why is that selfish dog­ cisse playing up front by himself we need 2 strikers­ and what is Tarrabt doing hogging the ball and losing­ it as usual.Ferdinand is strolling around as usual and­ didnt close down Brunt and we are behind.Time for Harry­ to earn his pay pull off Ferdinand and put on Diakite­ ,Hoilet and Geranero ASAP

    From Born to Run, on Wed 26 Dec 16:05
