Season summary

[edit]

After a slow start to the season, QPR won seven games in a row to rise up to third in the Championship table, though the good form didn't last and the West London side eventually finished in a comfortable midtable position - 12 points from the relegation zone and 11 points off the play-off places.

QPR were eliminated from the League Cup in the second round by Premiership side Aston Villa and the FA Cup in the third round by fellow Championship side Nottingham Forest.

Kit

[edit]

Le Coq Sportif continued as QPR's kit manufacturers. Telecomunication company Binatone continued as kit sponsors.
