No matter which way you look at it there’s a huge amount of pressure on Tyler Roberts shoulders as the campaign moves towards its conclusion. The Leeds United loanee is currently on loan at QPR and with four Championship games to go, the west London club find themselves embroiled in a battle at the wrong end of the division.
Gareth Ainsworth’s side have won just one game since December 17 and Saturday’s 3-0 loss to Coventry City leaves them sitting just a point above the relegation zone. They’re not quite staring down the barrel of League One football just yet, but unless something changes over the next three weeks, third tier football is a distinct possibility at Loftus Road.
For Roberts, though, the final few games of the season are about more than just survival. With QPR having the option to make his loan move permanent if they stay up, the forward’s future appears to be on the line, too.
