From our football correspondent Uneasy

Player ratings

Yankuba Minteh runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 37. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Lewis Dunk, 34, rolls back the years — 7.95

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.95 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad

Carlos Baleba is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Bart Verbruggen in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Brighton this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A late step up for Bart Verbruggen

At 24 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Squad

Kaoru Mitoma falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Loan watch

Nils Ramming counts the days

“I watch every Brighton game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Queens Park Rangers runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Player ratings

The chances came and went for Georginio Rutter

11 shots, and a count that reads like a good afternoon until you check the other column. Strikers survive weeks like this on the understanding that the chances keep arriving; the day they stop is the day it becomes a problem.

Market

Bart Verbruggen linked with a move away

The name of Bart Verbruggen keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Brighton say nothing, which says plenty.

From our football correspondent Steady

Player ratings

Nicolas Madsen shuts the door

Defensive actions: 30, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad

Kwame Poku says Queens Park Rangers went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Player ratings

Ronnie Edwards was immovable

24 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Squad

Nils Ramming is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Ilias Chair in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Queens Park Rangers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Queens Park Rangers training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ronnie Edwards is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Nilson Angulo

Marked 9.32 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Nilson Angulo

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Koki Saito

Marked 8.57 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Nicolas Madsen

Defensive actions: 33. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Ronnie Edwards

27 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Market

Elijah Dixon-Bonner hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Queens Park Rangers can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Real improvement from Nils Ramming at Queens Park Rangers

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Nils Ramming is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Ilias Chair in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Queens Park Rangers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Zain Silcott-Duberry gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Zain Silcott-Duberry has just signed for Queens Park Rangers, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

No hiding place for Richard Koné

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Richard Koné, and the manager let it.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Harvey Vale

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Harvey Vale

Marked 8.02 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Tylon Smith hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Queens Park Rangers can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Kwame Poku in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Queens Park Rangers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ilias Chair

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

No hiding place for Kwame Poku

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Kwame Poku, and the manager let it.

The terraces

Queens Park Rangers supporters have found a favourite in Ronnie Edwards

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Ronnie Edwards has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Ronnie Edwards at his very best

Marked 8.60. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Queens Park Rangers.

Squad

Justin Obikwu is still paying for one afternoon at Queens Park Rangers

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

Match

Honours even between Queens Park Rangers and Bristol City

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
