QPR missed the chance to go top of the Championship table as they were held to a 0-0 draw at Charlton.<\/p>\n
The R’s knew a third straight away victory would take them to the summit but they were unable to produce a clinical finish at The Valley to back up some impressive approach play.<\/p>\n
Both sides were looking to bounce back from their first league losses of the season at the weekend.<\/p>\n
There was a big call by the officials on 39 minutes as Tyreece Campbell finished smartly from Oliver Skipp’s incisive through pass. The goal was ruled offside but it looked a razor-fine decision whether the in-form attacker was just behind R’s centre-back Ronnie Edwards at the key moment the ball was released by Leicester loanee Skipp, making his home debut.<\/p>\n
“We scored the only goal of the game. I am sick of it. On the weekend, I had to put up with a performance from an individual that was beyond the realm of belief,” Charlton boss Nathan Jones told Sky Sports<\/em> after the game.<\/p>\n “Tonight, he had one decision to make and he gave offside. The goal is a great goal and a great counter-attack. It is onside and has cost us three points. The arrogance of the linesman is mental. He has looked at me like I have volleyed his cat.”<\/p>\n The only effort on target came from a cheeky backheel finish by Rumarn Burrell from Vale’s low cross but Okonkwo dropped to claim cleanly.<\/p>\n Charlton finished the half strongly with QPR captain Jimmy Dunne heading away a dangerous Campbell cross and referee Tom Nield ignored appeals for a penalty when Ivan Mesik went down under an awkward challenge by Cirkin.<\/p>\n QPR continued to dictate possession once the action resumed, despite yet another injury, captain Jimmy Dunne going off in the 47th minute.<\/p>\n Charlton centre-back Tyler Bindon was indebted to Okonkwo for a fine stop with his legs from Paul Smyth in the 62nd minute after losing the ball in a dangerous area – it proved to be the clearest scoring chance of the evening.<\/p>\n A sliding Burrell just failed to make a connection on substitute Amadou Mbengue’s cross from six yards out as Charlton continued to struggle to get any kind of foothold in the contest.<\/p>\n There were fresh and fruitless spot-kick appeals from the hosts for a potential handball by Mbengue from a Rankin-Costello shot while Cirkin evaded any punishment for pulling back Karlan Grant to halt a dangerous home attack.<\/p>\n Charlton boss Nathan Jones <\/strong>speaking to Sky Sports:<\/em><\/p>\n “We scored the only goal of the game. I am sick of it. On the weekend, I had to put up with a performance from an individual that was beyond the realm of belief.<\/p>\n “Tonight, he had one decision to make and he gave offside. The goal is a great goal and a great counter-attack. It is onside and has cost us three points. The arrogance of the linesman is mental. He has looked at me like I have volleyed his cat.<\/p>\n “He is looking at me as if I have done something; he has made the biggest error of the night and has cost us the game. Our goalkeeper has had to make one save and we scored the one goal.<\/p>\n “That is the difference, I am proud of my team and it was a tough game.”<\/p>\n QPR boss Julien Stephan<\/strong>:<\/em><\/p>\n “We were very, very dominant throughout the game – both halves.<\/p>\n “We had a lot of control and a lot of possession. But in the last 20 metres we didn’t create enough big, big chances – even if we had a big one with Smythy in the second half.<\/p>\n “It is a mix of feelings after this game. I’m very satisfied with the way we played and the control we had, even if we are missing probably seven, eight or nine players – we kept our ability to be dominant.<\/p>\n “It is not an easy place here, I don’t remember the last time that a team came here and was so dominant like this against Charlton. We didn’t concede anything and that is a good sign.<\/p>\n “We know we have to improve a lot in the last third. We have to work on our patterns and continue to develop them, but we also need to find some players able to win some one-v-ones.<\/p>\n “I think we did well today. We collect a point, it’s probably not enough based on the domination we had, but it is one more. If we are very disappointed to be third or fourth it is a good sign.”<\/p>\n QPR missed the chance to go top of the Championship table as they were held…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2261,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-premier-league"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/skysports-qpr-charlton_7346581.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2260"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2260\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}The managers<\/h3>\n
