JOFF'S ON THE MONEY BUT MIDFIELD'S A REAL CONCERN

Scoring twice away from home was not enough for Hull City to avoid a second straight away defeat.

Joe Gelhardt and Enis Destan had twice given City the lead at Loftus Road, only for QPR to fire level twice, before scoring the winner midway through the second period.

While two of Rangers' three goals may have been rather unfortunate from a Tigers' perspective, with Charlie Hughes’ blocks falling kindly to Elias Chair and Rumarn Burrell to score, Sergej Jakirovic’s men arguably didn’t help their own cause.

Here, City reporter Barry Cooper reflects on another case of dropped points on the road....

Just like at Ashton Gate, Vicarage Road and Pride Park before it, this was another game on the road where City had positive positions in the game and failed to capitalise.

Make no mistake about it, City are in a great position sitting sixth in the table.
