Jones insists QPR’s Mbengue should have been sent off
Charlton boss Nathan Jones insisted Amadou Mbengue should have been sent off during QPR’s 3-1 win over the Addicks.
With the score at 1-1, Rangers defender Mbengue, already on a booking, fouled Charlie Kelman but escaped a second yellow card.
Jones said: “Kelman goes down, which is a second booking. It wasn’t given because apparently it wasn’t a ‘promising attack’ – even though it was right on the edge of the 18-yard box.
“I don’t know how much more promising you have to get. It’s a categorical yellow card.”
Rob Apter equalised after Paul Smyth’s early opener put Rangers ahead.
Koki Saito, signed on a permanent deal this week, restored the lead after combining with fellow substitute Esquerdinha, and Richard Kone scored with virtually the last kick of the game.
The win was Rangers’ first under Julien Stephan, who admitted a change of style was needed after a tough start for him in the Championship.

A much better style of football, much more direct which you have to do if you want to do well in the championship

The result is great, but plasters over a leaky defence, that crumbles top easily and if Steve Bould is doing the defence coaching then he needs sacking, but it is players not following strategic info. Also the midfield is non existent which is a major concern, especially when playing away. If Stephan need to see where we are weak, I can see it, our supporters can see it and it is obvious to every team that comes up against us. We are too open and also we don’t trust either keeper ATM. Early days of promise, have now turned into early season concerns, but I hope it changes. At least the attack is strong and with some of the defence to return from injury and people like Chair to come back, my pessimism could be simple expectation that usually fall flat. But I am QPR and That’s Who we R!! Too 6 C’Mon …

Good result, but sometimes erratic defending. potential is there but a lot of work to be done

a good result for QPR. but still a lot of work to do before they can offer a competition to the more favoured teams
