Broadhead had a second goal ruled out and the Latics created a number of chances in the second half, with Josh Magennis hooking a shot against the post late on, however the hosts held on.Relive Saturday's EFL actionChampionship tables
Buoyed by boss Michael Beale's decision to stay put and reject an approach from managerless Premier League side Wolves, Rangers looked to be cruising to a fifth win in six matches. But after Johansen limped off injured shortly before half-time, Rangers were made to work hard for the points. Jason Kerr's curling effort dipped over the bar and Will Keane headed over a good chance from Max Power's dangerous cross.

But Beale's side survived to claim a win which keeps them top on goal difference from Blackburn, while a sixth defeat in eight drops the Latics to 19th and within three points of the relegation places. The game had looked to be playing out true to form when Field registered his first goal since February 2021 after 12 minutes, only for Broadhead to stun Loftus Road with Wigan's first serious foray into the home half.

Johansen had soon added his second assist of the afternoon - and his sixth of the season - to restore order, yet Broadhead almost levelled for the second time in five minutes, only to see his effort ruled out for handball in the build-up. QPR boss Michael Beale told BBC Radio London 94.9:
"The people really close to me know what I want to do here, they know what I'm trying to do.

We all want to work at the top level, but it's about the right opportunity at the right moment and hopefully that moment can be for QPR in the not-too-distant future. (On links to Aston Villa): "I'm flattered to be linked with a Premier League job, but I don't think I can be any more clear on Thursday about my stance and the feelings I have for the people behind the scenes here."Line-upsMatch StatsLive Text

22:39I’m a Leeds fan but I think QPR have gained a lot of well wishers for promotion this season. Beale is highly regarded as a manager and it’s nice to see loyalty like he has shown. I hope they do well.

18:13Just an observation and I wonder if anyone agrees , the standard in this league is not what it was as clubs have reigned in their spending post covid and because of financial instability in the country , so those that come down from premiere league are more likely to go back up unless a team with good players that are well organised can remain consistent through the season can spoil it for them .58NComment posted by nicl today at 18 04nicl
