WFC.Net goal commentary: 1

BBC: Fit-again Michael Frey marked his first start since October with a goal to set rejuvenated QPR on their way to an impressive Championship win against play-off chasing Watford at Loftus Road.

Sky: Kwadwo Baah struck to briefly restore the visitors’ prospects early in the second half, but less than 60 seconds later Cifuentes’ side picked them off again, Sam Field nodding in Paul Smyth’s cross to seal a deserved victory in west London.

Watford Observer: RECAP: QPR 3 Watford 1

QPR 3 Watford 1 minute-by-minute report

Simply not good enough in either penalty area

Third goal at QPR made Cleverley most angry

The signposts are clear, but what direction will the owner take Watford in?

‘We need people who know the league inside out’

Cleverley acknowledges Sissoko’s dip in form but recognises his leadership

Fran’s Watford Blog: It was another poor performance. We missed Louza again, his control of the midfield brings a calm to proceedings that wasn’t in evidence as we constantly gave the ball away. On the positive side, Baah was excellent, constantly running at the QPR defence, putting in dangerous crosses and taking the chance to shoot. Sadly, having looked solid earlier in the season, the defence was completely porous, conceding goals that they really should have stopped. I think a Robbo masterclass is needed.

From the Rookery End: It was a wet and drab start to Watford’s 2025, but Colin, DCW and Mike made the trip to Loftus Road to see the Hornets go behind early (yes, that’s not going away) and they stay there. With the enforced changes to Tom Cleverly’s starting XI, how did the guys think the team put up with another physical side and another heavy away defeat!
