QPR have kept 4 clean sheets in Marti Cifuentes first 7 games in charge.

By comparison QPR only kept 4 clean sheets in the whole of Gareth Ainsworth's tenure (28 games).

It is also the first time in 5 years that QPR have kept 3 consecutive clean sheets.

If QPR can score at least 2 goals against Hull it will be the first time the R's have scored 2 (or more) goals in 3 consecutive games since August/September 2021

QPR have played 112 games in that time and have not managed to score 2 goals for 3 games in a row

Colback didn't even need to dive in for the red.

This is where the ball first lands from Bellingham's lofted touch.

Colback dived in like he thought he was last man and Sunderland were in on goal, but the ball just bounces to Cook (who smashes it away)

Totally needless.

Jack Colback is the first QPR player to get a straight red card since Dion Sanderson against Blackpool in February 2022

QPR have won just 1 home game in the last 328 days (18 games)
