Change at the break for QPR as Ryan Manning replaces Bright Osayi-Samuel for the R's.

Manning coming on

For?

[Shania]

Preston have taken advantage of the gap between our CB`s and our midfield. They do also look a bit sharper and better prepared than us, imo.

Manning coming on

[Ranger-JimBob]

Happy to be 0-0 at half time.

Young fellas have looked lively, hopefully they stay cool and collective for the second half.

Experienced lads need to wake up a bit and take control of this game.

[Shania]

Not sure our midfield is balanced enough, but 0-0 is fine by me.

[gator]

Not a great half but we seem to be settling, nil nil is ok!

[acricketer]

We have lost 75% of away matches when drawing 0-0 at half-time since the start of last season.

[Timmy the Doc]

Not a very good first half. Feel sorry for Kakay.

Half-time: PNE 0, QPR 0

The whistle goes and it is level at the break. Preston have enjoyed the better chances with Matt Smith's late glancing header the best opportunity for the R's thus far. All to play for in the second half.

[maidstone_hoop]

HT and sounds like slow start but we definitely have started to build ourselves into the game.

[LoftusRoadLad]

Nearly an opener for QPR as Luke Freeman's cross finds the head of Matt Smith but his glancing header goes wide of the target.

A good chance for Smith, we're coming into this match a bit!
