Birmingham v QPR player ratings

QPR moved up to 12th in the Championship with a 2-0 victory at Birmingham. Here’s how we rated each Rangers player.

Joe Lumley: 6

A second successive clean sheet for the keeper, who was well protected by his defence. Had little to do before saving a late effort from Lukas Jutkiewicz.

Todd Kane: 6

Beaten on occasions and produced little of note going forward, but stuck to the task and had a decent enough game.

Grant Hall: 9

A great night for the Rangers skipper, who saved the day with a couple of brilliant blocks before scoring the all-important first goal. Calm and composed throughout.

Toni Leistner: 8

Also had a fine game at the heart of the defence. Won countless headers.

Ryan Manning: 5

Below his best. Was caused problems by Jeremie Bela, who was surprisingly taken off in the second half.

Geoff Cameron: 8

Has made all the difference in the last couple of games, providing excellent cover in front of what was a leaky defence but now looks much more sound.

Luke Amos: 6

Unspectacular, but did a solid, important job in midfield. The on-loan Tottenham youngster is slowly getting his sharpness back after injury problems.

Marc Pugh: 6

Involved in the build up to the second goal and used his experience to help Rangers pack the midfield and frustrate Birmingham in the first half.

Bright Osayi-Samuel: 8

Full of running on and off the ball before scoring a fabulous goal to seal the win. Ran from inside his own half before finishing emphatically.

Ebere Eze: 6

A quiet game by Eze’s standards, although his free-kick led to the opening goal.

Nahki Wells: 6

 

Had very little service and gave the ball away a couple of times. Worked hard off the ball before being replaced by Jordan Hugill in the second half.

Jordan Hugill: 6

Put himself about after coming on but missed a decent chance by dragging a shot wide.

Dominic Ball: 6

Brought on in place of Pugh to shore things up in midfield for the final 19 minutes or so.
