QPR new signing Joel Lynch is out of tonight's clash with Barnsley - and for the next two weeks as well.

The £1.2 million capture from Huddersfield suffered an abdominal strain in the EFL Cup win over Swindon last week, and was in the wars before that pre-season.

Bought to either play a central role or fill the troublesome left-back spot, the obvious place for him when fit is far from apparent, despite his pedigree.

Here's an example.

Steven Caulker, scorer of the first goal against Cardiff on Sunday, and Grant Hall have hit the ground running in the central spots, and Jake Bidwell has made a good start on the left.

Rangers have won both their opening Championship games without conceding a goal, and sit top of the table.

The last time they won three on the bounce at the beginning of the campaign was in the 2010-11 season when guess who? Barnsley, Sheffield United and Scunthorpe were victims.

It was the season Hoops went up as champions four points clear of Norwich City.
