QPR boss Michael Beale believes Sunderland's front pairing of Ross Stewart and Ellis Simms will be 'a handful' for Championship teams. The duo were both on the scoresheet in the Black Cats' 2-2 draw against Rangers at the Stadium of Light yesterday, just as they were in the 3-2 win at Bristol City last weekend.
On-loan Everton striker Simms scored twice on his debut against Bristol and added another on his home debut, while Stewart scored the winner at Ashton Gate and the opener against QPR. "Alex [Neil] will have been pleased with his team, I thought they were direct into the two centre-forwards and you can see what a handful they are going to be," said Beale.
"They were for Bristol City last weekend and they were again for us. I think a lot of teams will come here and struggle, so it's a really big point for us.
