    Nottingham Forest 0-1 QPR

    Owen Phillips
    BBC Sport at the City Ground

    The Forest fans and players are getting very frustrated. For all their possession, the home side have created almost nothing and while chances are a rarity at either end, QPR are looking compact and dangerous on the break and from set-pieces.

    There's still plenty of time for things to change though.

    Daryl Murphy is on so the route one option is very much there if required by the Reds.
