Season summary After a slow start to the season, QPR enjoyed their best start to a season for 20 years and won seven games in a row to rise up to third in the Championship table, though the good form didn't last and the West London side eventually finished in a comfortable midtable position - 12 points from the relegation zone and 11 points off the play-off places. QPR were eliminated from the League Cup in the second round by Premiership side Aston Villa and the FA Cup in the third round by fellow Championship side Nottingham Forest. Kit Le Coq Sportif continued as QPR's kit manufacturers. Telecommunications company Binatone continued as kit sponsors.
