QPR defender Joel Lynch has deemed Fulham as one of the hardest teams he has faced this season.

Rangers picked up four points against the Whites this season but Fulham failing to score any of the three penalties they had in two games was a key factor in the Hoops' success.

However, when Lynch was asked about the toughest opponents he has faced this season, Slavisa Jokanovic's side was the first that came to mind.

He said: “I think when we played Fulham and the way they've come on. Fulham weren't really clicking at all last year. They've been one of the hardest teams I've played against.

“I haven't played against Huddersfield this season. I was rested for the home game. I think all Championship teams are different.

“You can play against a team, on their day, who can nick a goal. A lot of teams are going on runs and everyone is different.

“The way Huddersfield play is the opposite to the way everyone else plays. He's instilling ways and we can play our own ways and I think it's starting to work.”

Lynch also revealed that he preferred facing the stronger strikers in the division rather than the pacey players.

He added: “Every striker I face is different. I prefer the bigger lads so I can battle. I find it tougher against shorter, sharper strikers but the Championship is so different and every team is different. I can't name a player.”
