QPR have appealed against Nedum Onuoha’s red card at Brighton.
The Rangers skipper was sent off during the second half of his side’s 3-0 defeat following a challenge on Albion’s Sam Baldock.
Rangers are expected to discover on Thursday whether the appeal has been successful, If it is not, Onuoha will be suspended for the New Year’s Eve match at Wolves.
R’s boss Ian Holloway insisted after the Brighton game that referee Keith Stroud was wrong to send Onuoha off.
“When he blew the whistle I feared the worst. Talk about ruining a game,” Holloway said.
“We’re already 2-0 down and you’re going to send my skipper off? It has to be crystal clear, doesn’t it?
“That is about as harsh as it can be. And that after [Idrissa] Sylla, in the first half, gets smashed by [Shane] Duffy and we don’t even get a free-kick.”

It spoiled the game resembling a contest for the Albion fans as well.
If the referee was any good at all, he would admit he made a big mistake, quite simply it was the worst decision of the season so far.
