Queens Park Rangers secured a 2-2 draw against Preston North End at Loftus Road on Saturday. The team came back from a 2-0 deficit and played for most of the match with ten men after Dennis Cirkin received a red card in the 15th minute. Julien Stephan's side currently sits fifth in the Championship table.
Former striker Aaron McLean, speaking to BBC London, expressed his admiration for QPR's performance. He noted that while the draw might feel like dropped points given Preston's league position, the team's resilience was commendable. McLean highlighted Glen Kamara as an outstanding player in midfield, potentially capable of playing in the Premier League, and praised the club's recruitment strategy.

Wrexham's Home Victory
Wrexham earned their first home win of the season with a 2-1 victory over Southampton. The win ended Southampton's five-match unbeaten run. Wrexham, despite investment and high expectations, have shown inconsistency this campaign.
McLean commented that while Wrexham may not be automatic promotion candidates, the win against Southampton will provide significant confidence. He suggested that the club might look to strengthen their squad in January if they remain in contention. McLean pointed out that Wrexham has drawn four games due to an inability to finish matches, but possesses players who can score.

Bradford City's Defensive Strength
Bradford City is currently sharing the joint-best defensive record in the EFL, having conceded only four goals in seven games. The team has also ended a 58-year wait for a win against Luton Town, moving to the top of League One. Despite scoring only seven goals in seven matches, their defensive solidity has been a key factor.
McLean described Bradford as a 'massive club' with strong support and praised manager Graham Alexander. He noted the team's 'bouncebackability' after recent defeats and believes their defensive strength has compensated for their lower goal count. He also tipped young striker Bobby Pointon for future success.
Bromley and Gillingham Secure Wins
Bromley secured a 2-1 victory against Huddersfield Town at the Copperjax Community Stadium. This marked their first win since the opening day of the season, following a challenging start in League One. Manager Andy Woodman will be pleased with the team's resilience.
In League Two, Gillingham achieved a 3-0 victory over Bristol Rovers. This result makes them the current form side in the division, with three wins and three draws in their last six matches, moving them up to fourth in the table. Manager Gareth Ainsworth has been focused on the psychological aspect of management and player commitment.
The analysis was provided by former Peterborough United and Hull City striker Aaron McLean.
