Wolves boss Mick McCarthy will be without a trio of first-team players for the trip to Loftus Road. Michael Kightly (ankle), Jody Craddock (groin) and Gary Breen (knee) miss out.

QPR 0-0 Wolves
Wolves dropped out of the play-off places as they failed to break down QPR's resilient defence and slid to a third straight game without a win. Rangers had their chances to win, although the draw drops them to bottom of the Championship table. Wolves' Wayne Hennessey was the busier goalkeeper, saving twice each from Dexter Blackstock and Martin Rowlands. In the second half, Stephen Elliott had Wolves' best chance with a header which Lee Camp tipped over the bar. # QPR manager Luigi Di Canio on transfer speculation: "There is talk about who we will sign, but there are many games until then and the league at the moment is not good, so we must focus on that. "I do not want to talk out of respect for the players who are here now - especially after that display of heart. "Our recent performances told me that I could have faith in my team." # Wolves boss Mick McCarthy on Stephen Elliott's glaring late miss: "Stephen's all-round performance was excellent. He did all the horrible jobs, he just needed the icing on the cake by tucking it away. "But he was brilliant. His effort and running into the channels was terrific. "We're not prolific - we know that. If we were, we'd be higher up the league. It's something we'll work on."
