Chris Ramsey said he was “disappointed” with Tjaronn Chery’s reaction to being substituted during the first half of QPR’s 4-0 defeat at Fulham.
Rangers head coach Ramsey decided to take the Dutchman off 10 minutes before the interval after the home side had raced into a three-goal lead.
Chery decided not to sit in the dugout and instead walked around the pitch to the tunnel.
Ramsey said he did not see the player in the dressing room afterwards, although QPR officials insisted Chery did not leave the stadium prematurely and that he boarded the coach with the rest of the squad after the match.
“I’m disappointed with what he did. It’s an internal matter and will be dealt with,” Ramsey said.
“I took him off because I thought we needed more discipline in the defending part of it and he wasn’t performing in that matter at that time.
“It was important at that stage to get ourselves to half-time with the score as catchable as possible.”
Ramsey admitted he was “very concerned” by Rangers’ ongoing defensive shortcomings.
They have let in 17 league goals this season – no Championship side has conceded more.
“We made a lot of individual errors that caused us more problems than we needed, right from the start, and Fulham got a lot of confidence from that,” Ramsey said.

Derek - Mackie tweaked a hamstring too apparently, hence the substitution.
Well what can I say the same as last week Ramsey must go blame defence not chery he's a striker I think not a defender sort the defence problem by getting rid of Henry Furlin did nought as for the past 3 years one if those guys should have been subbed and not chery
Change a half time so the said manager can discuss with his players what sort of force we could be to get 3 goals but why mackie on then off after 10 min?
Time to move on and get holloway back go the remainder of season .
Austin is a striker not a defender that's how you do your hamstring and knee ligament injuries doing moves in the opposite direction as for Phillips he's a winger not a midfielder play him in the right position with Austin and we will score goals
Please for fans club move on Ramsey
he just has to go . No talk of nice guy, give him a chance, patience, bla, bla bla. We have been woeful since he took over - fact. The team are as flat as a pancake, we have no spark, we have no ideas, we are one dimensional, our football is just rubbish and having a few individual stars has masked the problems. No Mr manager (the guy who is paid a wack to manage the team) you can't say every week individual errors cost us!!!!err a few individual bits of magic have masked the fact you are one of the worst appointments since we tried to be a comedy club a few years ago. Yes Phillips for a few games last season or Charlie getting goals out of nothing.
Last season, for the first time ever, I missed a home game towards the end as i was so fed up with the way we were being managed - and make no mistake, without the change and a spend of around £10m we would have stayed up. The team had something about them and played enough good football at home to have a decent chance - remember man city, villa, west brom, leicester, liverpool (we could have won that). Arsenal, C*****, and spuds - they just took their few chances but we were still a decent team.
Since then really? Time to get a proper professional manager and try to salvage something now. There is no doubt and the longer this nonsense runs the worse it will get. The money has changed so much we can't just talk about consolidation. With one of the most talented squads in the division we have to go up again, as next season we won't, and there will be another 3 strong teams plus some others looking like they will roll us over. Is it not too much expect that we can get the team going and aim for a top finish if the right things are done now! And what muppet let Barton go - or not replace him with a leader. We had nothing in reply this week, last week or at any game this season. Captain, what captain. Leaderless, headless, managerless, clueless and useless - sort it out!
Why the hell dont we appoint a full time defensive coach to sort this sorry lot out?
I'm just a normal 'joe' but why are we playing more or less the same team every game and yet Ramsey always says its individual errors?!!! It couldn't be his tactics could it ?!!!! Another point couldn't we have kept either Dunne or Barton just to have given us leadership on the field
Ramsey was clueless sooner he goes the better
