In the recent match against West Brom, QPR faced their fifth consecutive loss, adding more stress on their struggling manager Gareth Ainsworth. Let's take a look at how each player performed in the 2-0 defeat.

He was randomly sending the ball down the field, which didn't allow QPR to have many chances to score. West Brom was able to handle the straightforward tactics of Ainsworth's team without any difficulty.

Promoting the first full performance of the American national team player. Possesses impressive speed and has a strong desire to push forward. Appears to significantly improve the right wing-back position.

Nathan Chalobah's speedy footwork knocked him off his feet, leading to West Brom's impressive second goal. He'll likely stay in the team as the other center-backs for QPR are either injured or suspended.

Within the span of two minutes during the second half, they received two yellow cards that were ultimately unnecessary, causing the tides of the game to shift towards West Brom's favor. Initially, they were penalized for entering the field without the referee James Bell's consent after being treated for an injury. Then, they received another yellow card for showing dissent in response to a clear penalty.

He seemed quite sturdy during the initial half, but unfortunately, he had to leave at half-time due to his problematic groin acting up once again.

Grady Diangana received a diagonal ball that caught the opponent off guard and led to a bad challenge in the box. This made it an easy decision for the referee, who gave a penalty kick to Bell. Unfortunately, their team's game plan did not include any aggressive attacks, so there was no opportunity for them to score.

Performed well in the midfield position initially and later shifted to centre-back post Clarke-Salter's injury. As expected, he displayed his usual proficient style of play.

He was penalized in the first half for a reckless challenge. In the last moments of the game, he was very lucky not to give away another penalty when he made a clumsy tackle on Brandon Thomas-Asante inside the penalty area, but the referee did not notice it.

I didn't do a lot. The goalie for Albion, Alex Palmer, handled the corners without any trouble. Unfortunately, I had to play in a two-person midfield because Field had to switch to centre-half and I didn't have many opportunities to interact with the ball. Eventually, I was substituted in the second half.

During the game, the player did not have many opportunities to interact with the ball. The goalkeeper, Begovic, sent a lot of long passes towards Lyndon Dykes, but the opposing team's defense was able to easily handle them. In QPR's only real chance of the game, when Cannon made a cross, the player was not able to make a shot on target. It does not make much sense for this player, who enjoys running with the ball and creating opportunities, to be on the team due to the tactics that Ainsworth wants to use. He was substituted by Chris Willock, with whom he had previously worked well during happier times for QPR, nine minutes before the end of the game.

Throughout the majority of the match, he was frequently falling onto the ground while attempting to score or direct headers towards his team's red and black jersey with the assistance of long kicks from Begovic.

During the middle of the game, the substitution was made due to Clarke-Salter's injury. The player who came in for him didn't have many opportunities to interact with the ball and appeared to be mainly responsible for making long throw-ins, which barely made it into the six-yard box.

Introduced into the game after it had ended with a score of 2-0.
