Good evening ladied and gents. Welcome to LIVE text commentary between Sunderland and Queens Park Rangers.

To be fair, that was really poor.

The home fans are furious here. Boos around the stadium as Johnson just smacks a hopeful ball straight out of play - it appears he was looking for Defoe.

You'd have backed Defoe to score there. The striker has only had a handful of touches of the ball - but he only needs one.

CHANCE! Defoe amost scores at the other end. Jordi Gomez puts in a superb low cross from the left, but Defoe puts over from six yards under pressure from Green.

CHANCE! HUGE chance for QPR! The Dutchman side-foots from Zamora's cut back but the ball hits the inside of the post, rolls along the line and comes out. Fer couldn't have come any closer to scoring!

Johnson looks long for Defoe, but Green comes out quickly to gather.

Almost another for QPR as Isla gallops down the right and picks out Phillips, but he can't quite stretch his head into the correct position to get a proper contact on the header.

Frustration growing on the terraces. Sunderland have been really poor so far - better teams than QPR would be more than 1-0 up.

Henry concedes a free-kick in the middle of the park, which just allows Sunderland to re-group. Martin Atkinson thought about the yellow card, but just gave Henry a talking to.

Barton's crossfield pass finds Fer, who feeds Yun on the overlap, but the South Korean's cross is much too close to Pantilimon, who claims.

Every QPR player is pressuring high up the pitch and forcing Sunderland into mistakes. This time Zamora just pushes it too far and gives away the free-kick.

Sunderland just need to get the ball and knock it about. It's been all QPR so far.

Sunderland on the attack as Bridcutt drills in a cross from the right, but it lacks accuracy and Ferdinand clears for QPR.

QPR keeping up the pressure here as Isla wins a corner.

GOAL! QPR have the lead! Phillips finds space on the right and whips in a pinpoint cross to Fer, who buries his header! 1-0.

Still goalless here though, and Sunderland can at least be happy that they've not conceded yet.

Sunderland buoyed by that chance. Good to see both full backs combining, from a Black Cats perspective.

The Dutchman just needed to show a bit more composure and control the volley there.

CHANCE! Sunderland create the first proper chance of the game! Revellere gets forward from right back and sends a deep cross to Van Aanholt, but the other Sunderland full-back volleys way over.

Fer has a go from 25 yards. It's a decent effort but Pantimilon watches it all the way and makes the stop.

Sunderland seeing a bit more of the ball but QPR still calling the shots here. Poyet is up and barking instructions from the technical area - not happy with what he's seeing.
