Sandro lifts a shot from the edge of the area just wide of goal, a flutter of excitement in a game that has been lacking just that since Charlie Austin scored. I'll be honest, it is no classic...

Darren, Birmingham: With David Moyes still available Villa need to make the decision to sack Lambert who is so inept of any tactical knowledge.

Rob, Sunbury: Great credit to Harry for being so bold with selection & formation. Austin beginning to find his feet in the Prem?

Yun Suk-young whistles a free-kick into the danger zone but Villa keeper Brad Guzan is off his line to punch clear. The ball goes straight back to QPR though, as Sandro heads the ball for Bobby Zamora to try and get on the end of, but Ron Vlaar does superbly to keep the QPR striker at bay and the ball trickles out for a goal kick.

Dan, London: Superb passing on display. QPR giving it straight to Villa, Villa giving it straight back. Measured.

"You can question the shape and balance of both of these teams. There just isn't enough width in this game. It's scrappy and a lot of the play is happening in congested central areas."

It has all gone a bit scrappy now after an initial good response from Aston Villa, who have had real trouble sticking the ball in the net this season, their struggles in the final third perhaps summed up as Aly Cissokho over hits a pass for Christian Benteke, who was in a bit of space in the QPR area.

He's already started on the next one, Tim.

A good response from Aston Villa as Christian Benteke directs a header just wide, with Rob Green diving at full stretch. QPR have conceded at least two goals in each of their last five Premier League games, so no time to settle just yet.

"That was a rather splendid strike by Charlie Austin."

Anon: Must win for Villa today. In my opinion got to win these games to make life easy on yourself. Time breeds stability in football wasn't always sold on Lambert but I'm still hopeful.

"It's a wonderful finish. A long ball from the back and Bobby Zamora, who bullied the Liverpool defenders last weekend, held off Ron Vlaar and laid it off for Charlie Austin. It's against the run of play, but QPR deserve it for being positive and playing two up front."

Route one-tastic. QPR take the lead as a long ball from defence is knocked down superbly by Bobby Zamora on the edge of the area to the feet of Charlie Austin, who lashes home. Perfect start for the hosts.

Carlos Sanchez smacks a volley from Mauricio Isla's clearance towards goal and, while it is well hit, it is straight at QPR keeper Rob Green. Best chance so far though.

"Aston Villa have pace and if they do manage to get Gabriel Agbonlahor one-on-one with a defender, they will cause QPR some problems. The home side look a little nervous at the moment. Some people say it can be better to play away from home in these situations, when you don't have the pressure of expectation."

Gabby Agbonlohar weaves into the area and shapes to shoot but Richard Dunne sticks out a big boot to block the shot. The QPR defender will also have been delighted to see the ball from that challenge fly out of touch on the right after scoring an own goal against Liverpool last time out, which saw him become the first player in Premier League history to reach a tally of 10 own goals.

John Pierce: , externalThis could easily be a Championship game next season. Very few good players on show.

QPR do seem a little rattled by Aston Villa's ability to hit them on the counter and they have dropped the tempo a little bit, allowing the away side to dictate play with Carlos Sanchez seeing plenty of the ball in midfield. No real chances for either side yet, though.

BBC Radio Leeds' Adam Pope: "Leeds United Academy manager Neil Redfearn is understood to have verbally agreed a long term deal with owner Massimo Cellino to become the club's new head coach. No contract has been signed yet."

Paul Barnfield, Hull: Both QPR and Aston Villa have lined up with what looks like 4-3-3 formations. Both sides desperate for a win so expect this to be an exiting, attacking game!
