POINTS SHARED WITH LUTON
Tuesday 4th September 2007

Loftus Road wasn’t the only place Ray Jones was remembered on Saturday, the youth team in which he made his name also paid their own tribute with a minutes silence before their fixture against Luton. 

After starting the season with a win at Peterborough, Rangers stuck to the same successful 4-3-3 formation for the first home match of the new campaign.  

Chris Goodchild was in goal behind a back four of Billy Coyne, Ed Harris, Josh Ford and Lee Brown. Matt O’Brien, Danny Maguire and Cyrus Vanterpool were the midfield three with Antonio German, Romone Rose and James Folkes the front trio. 

The visitors took the lead after just ten minutes and held it going into the second despite constant pressure from The R’s. However the home sides determination paid off after the hour mark when German headed home to level the scores and earn Rangers a share of the points.   

Our next fixture is this Saturday as the under 18’s make the short trip up the M40 to face Wycombe Wanderers in our last league fixture for a while before the new Youth Alliance format switches to a couple of months of cup action.  

QPR: Goodchild, Coyne, Harris, Ford, Brown, O’Brien, Maguire, Vanterpool (Arthur), German, Rose, Folkes (Gardner). Subs not used: Crowther, Jordan, Balanta.
