Lady Luck deserts QPR in loss to Southampton

QPR 0 Southampton 1: Chris Ramsey speaks to his good friend Tim Sherwood regularly but even he was unable to clarify whether the former Tottenham manager will be taking over at QPR, whose season went from bad to worse when top scorer Charlie Austin limped away from Loftus Road with an ankle injury after their fifth successive defeat.

Lady Luck deserts QPR in loss to Southampton

Sherwood is expected to succeed Harry Redknapp at QPR, but no agreement has been reached nor date set, meaning Ramsey is holding the reins for now and will be in charge for their visit to Sunderland tomorrow.

But the former Tottenham coach could not reverse a winless streak dating back to December, nor lift Rangers out of the relegation zone. As if to prove that Lady Luck is really not shining down on Loftus Road, QPR lost to a stoppage time winner from Saido Mane after Austin had been denied by a superb reflex save from Fraser Forster, who was then relieved in the final minute of the game when another Austin effort was disallowed for a foul.
