In the Championship this season, QPR and Millwall didn’t hesitate to use their scrappiness when necessary.
Although it wasn’t always tidy for the London clubs, QPR and Millwall avoided relegation from the Championship this year and concluded the campaign with road wins last weekend.
Arriving at Loftus Road and The Den, Marti Cifuentes and Neil Harris accomplished their season goals, managing a few scrappy games to get points.
