We need to hang on until half time then we will see what sort of manager Maclaren is.

It's straight down the other end as Barkhuizen sees his shot deflected behind for a Preston corner. Danger cleared.

[LoftusRoadLad]

Osman Kakay this time wins a set-piece for the R's.

[shanns]

I feel we might nick something here.

[LoftusRoadLad]

Freeman tries to dink the corner to Toni at the near post but Preston keeper Declan Rudd punches clear.

[Tarbie]

Not a very pretty game to watch so far. They've bossed it for the most part, without really creating much. We look pretty lively on the break though, Eze looks class!

[Hubble]

Meanwhile Jeff Stelling just said Roath Ravers on Soccer Saturday....

[West Acton]

Can see Lynch will annoy me once again this season. Aimless balls

[LoftusRoadLad]

The hosts though hit back at the other end as an Osman Kakay block prevents Robinson an opener. Preston squanders the resulting corner.

[acricketer]

Waiting for the first FFS of the season and one of these...

[LoftusRoadLad]

First R's opportunity but it's not a good one as Luke Freeman blasts wide from distance.
Eberechi Eze plays a one-two before riffling wide with the right foot from 22-yards.

[brightonr]

Brilliant tackle by Eze.

The experienced midfield 3 need to liven themselves up fast.

[klonk]

Got some young lads on the pitch today - get to half time @ 0-0 and still in the game I’ll be happy.

Same here...

ref likes to blow for the slightest contact. If we were smart, we'd start going to ground...

[gator]

Wow, Eze can put a tackle in!

[LoftusRoadLad]

Vital block from Toni Leistner who deflects Robinson's goal-bound shot behind for a corner. The resulting set-piece breaks down for Preston. Rangers struggling to mount a series attacking currently.
