"With all due respect, Ciaran Clark is the last player you'd want to be on the end of that - especially because it was on his wrong foot. It was a good opportunity for Villa though."

Much better from Aston Villa as Ashley Westwood lifts a free-kick into the area for Christian Benteke, who heads the ball down for Ciaran Clark just a few yards from goal, but the ball bounces awkwardly for the defender and he hooks his shot wide of the post. If Gabby Agbonlahor had got on the end of that, it might have had had a different outcome.

Gabby Agbonlahor charges forward before slipping a pass to Tom Cleverley, who in turn tries to send Aly Cissokho away down the left. Cissokho is well marked, though, and he can only skew his cross out of play and into the stands.

Villa are the only team not to score in the closing 15 minutes of games this season. If that is to continue, they have 25 minutes to get a goal...

Off we go again. Hold on to your hats...

Dan, Herts: Lambert has to go, he lacks any personality when I front of the camera's and this can only transfer to the players in the dressing room and on the pitch.

The sticking point, I would have thought Dan, is that Lambert only recently signed a new four-year contract...

Peter Richardson:, external Lambert sack? Ridiculous. Building team, spot on against Liverpool but bad run of form including big teams = sack? Unfair.

Adam: , externalAs a United fan, and a David Moyes sympathist, I think both clubs this evening would have a marked improvement with Moyes.

Phil, Lincoln: Watching this Aston Villa team is painful. 8 hours without a goal and don't even look like scoring against the bottom side in the league. No urgency, no movement, wayward passing, terrible final ball. Lambert just doesn't seem to have real tactics or ideas.

Chris: Hardly classic Monday night football. Casually following the live text hoping the match ignites but I more likely to win last week's lottery I think.

If you joined us just for this game, then you may have missed the FA Cup first-round draw earlier this evening.

We have it in full on our FA Cup index, as well as all the reaction. Worth a check to see which non-league teams could have a good chance of edging closer to a glamour tie against a Premier League team.

Joel McCroy Oblates: , externalI actually thought its going to be a dull game tonight, i am enjoying every minute of it.

Really, Joel?

If I had spent the first half just watching our stats page, and believe me that would probably have been as exciting as watching this game, I'd have thought we'd had quite the end-to-end encounter on our hands.

There have been 12 shots in total, with five on target. Charlie Austin had the only one that counts though.

"Everybody is struggling for time on the ball because they are playing through the congested final third. It's a fractious game.

"This isn't good enough from Aston Villa, I don't know why Paul Lambert isn't changing things. They have got good players but there's no width. It's so predictable it beggars belief. If they want to carry on like this, they won't score goals and they won't win games of football."

Antony Walker:, external Can't believe I am saying this but Villa are missing Alan Hutton

QPR have their noses in front at the break, with Charlie Austin scoring from the home side's first shot of the game. Aston Villa, meanwhile, have offered little in response. Big improvement needed in the second half.

Dazza, Birmingham: It is time for Lambert to go if we lose tonight.. Same old no tactical brain. Clueless.

Charlie, Birmingham: Why has Lambert suddenly got so little support? Considering Villa have had a run of last season's top four followed by Everton, our points tally is good, a win takes us back into the top half. Fickle fans.

Gary Pearce: , externalAs a Villa supporter totally lack belief in Lambert. Some Good managerial stock in need of jobs, Pulis, Moyes., just saying

I'm pretty sure I can hear individual chats at Loftus Road now, with the atmosphere having gone as half-time approaches. Ashley Westwood sends the ball into the QPR area but Sandro hacks clear.

Villa are eight hours without a Premier League goal, and it is clear to see why.

"It's been an edgy game, reflecting the position of both clubs. The highlight has been Charlie Austin's goal."

Andreas Weimann hobbles off to the edge of the pitch after getting caught by Leroy Fer's block. He is able to return after a minute or two but is moving a little gingerly.

A concern for Villa fans, with Weimann, who has grabbed two winners this season, having looked one of the more lively players on the pitch in this half.

A swift attack by Aston Villa ended with Andreas Weimann whipping a cross into the area. A hearts in mouths moment as Richard Dunne storms in at the near post but the ball, probably to the relief of QPR fans, flies past the defender and into Rob Green's hands.

"It's awful, there is no fluency or pattern to the game. There are a lot of balls being given away needlessly because there is no option on for the man with the ball."
