QPR 0-0 BurnleyBy Martyn RobinsonBURNLEY started their F.A. Cup campaign in the dullest of fashions on Saturday afternoon, with a trip to fellow Coca-Cola Championship outfit Queens Park Rangers, where all that was gained was a home replay after a goalle s draw.With all thoughts secured to Tuesdays Carling Cup Semi-Final First Leg against Tottenham at White Hart Lane, there was very little interest in a game that pulled in just 8,896 supporters at Loftus Road, only a hanful being travelling Clarets.Owen Coyle was forced to field a slightly weakened side in the capital due to injuries and suspensions taking toll on his side. Captain Steven Caldwell picked up a two match ban after being red carded in the defeat to Doncaster Rovers, and with Stephen Jordan also suspended through yellow cards, it meant Christian Kalvanes stepped back into the side at left backafter completing just two training se sions in over a month.The central midfield partnership of Chris McCann and Kevin McDonald was also broken with both players carrying injuries, meaning Wade Elliott came into the centre alongside a returning Joey Gudjon son Jack Lambert Jersey , who has been benched in recent games.The opening half at Loftus Road was an highly uneventful one, with Burnley slightly edging the game through their slick pa sing and movement. Damion Stewart should have been carded for bringing an end to a fantastic Clarets move, when he brought down Chris Eagles, who was played in through the middle but somehow avoided a booking. Rangers only on target effort of the game arrived in the 20th minute when onloan Italian Samuel Di Carmine beat Graham Alexander and the offside trap, only to force a fantastic stop out of Burnleys best player so far this season, Brian Jensen, who saved well down to his right.Minutes later and Tony Dungy Jersey Coyles men came within inches of opening the scoring, as Elliott, revelling in his central midfield role, smashed a vicious volley from 25 yards only to smack the cro sbar and see his effort bounce to safety, with Q.P.R. stopper Radek Cerny beaten all ends up.The Half-Time whistle drew jeers from the home support as the Rangersfollowers became impatientwith their sides lack of spark and effort, but Paolo Sousas men came out all guns blazing in the second half and started to stamp their dominance on the game.The Clarets held their own though and on the 64th minute,Eagles again broke free, but a heavy touch took the ball away from the former Manchester United youngster, who then rounded Cerny at full stretch after being forced wide, but his shot from a tight angle only found its way into the side netting.Substitute Alan Mahon replaced Robbie Blake with little under 20minutes remaining, and the Republic of Ireland international almost won the game for the Turfites, but unlike his winner in the league meeting between the two earlier in the season, his shot whistled just inches wide of the far post in what would have been an outstanding finish.The Full-Time whilstle signalled a Third Round Replay to take place at Turf Moor on Tuesday 13th January with a kick off time of 7:45pm. The Clarets also learned on Sunday that Alan Faneca Jersey should they win they will face a trip to either Premier League outfitWest Bromich Albion or League One side Peterborough United in the Fourth Round.NEXT UP: Burnley travel to London again on Tuesday evening as they take on Harry Redknapps Tottenham Hotspurs in the Carling Cup Semi-Finals First Leg.
