Mark Warburton is under mounting pressure to turn things around after QPR slumped to their fourth defeat in a row last night.

Sheffield United beat QPR 1-0 at Bramall Lane, with Northern Ireland midfielder Ollie Norwood scoring the winner after just nine minutes.

QPR have lost six of their past seven games and sit ninth in the Championship after previously being in the play-off places. They are three points off sixth-placed Middlesbrough but have played two games more than Chris Wilder’s men as things stand.

Warburton, who is out of contract at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium at the end of the season, said: “The second half was much better but we lacked that bit of guile you need to open them up.

“But there are still 18 points on the table. Everyone will drop points. We have to stick together for Preston on Saturday.”

After a trip to Deepdale to meet Preston this weekend, QPR face Huddersfield, Derby, Stoke and Sheffield United again before finishing the season away at Swansea next month.
