Nedum Onuoha makes honest claim about QPR’s current squad of players

Former Queens Park Rangers defender Nedum Onuoha has admitted that he is hoping that the club’s current squad of players will be able to learn a lesson from their drop-off in form during the latter stages of the 2021/22 campaign.

The R’s put themselves in a great position to qualify for the play-offs by producing a host of positive performances in the first half of the season.

Making reference to the existing members of QPR’s team, Onuoha has revealed that he is hoping that they will learn from the experience of missing out on the chance of securing promotion via the play-offs.

Speaking to Sports Mole, Onuoha said: “Once you start losing form, there’s nothing you can do that guarantees you’ll just get it back, especially in a division where there isn’t that much that separates each team, and sometimes it’s just a case of belief.

The Verdict

Despite the fact that QPR have yet to
