Rhian Brewster has scored twice for Swansea City since joining on loan from Liverpool

Swansea City's Championship play-off hopes suffered another blow as they stuttered to a goalless draw against Queens Park Rangers.

Head coach Steve Cooper had called for a response after Swansea's weekend home defeat by Derby County, but it was Rangers who looked the more likely winners.

And as happy as they were to end a four-game losing streak, Mark Warburton's team will be frustrated not to have claimed three points rather than one.

Rangers created - and wasted - the best chances, with Jordan Hugill and Bright Osayi-Samuel the biggest culprits.

Swansea are left without a win in four games, although they were grateful for this point after failing to land a shot on target.

This was a meeting of a Swansea side who do not score enough goals and a Rangers team who concede too many.

The January loss of top scorer Nahki Wells has not aided Rangers going forward, with Warburton bemoaning his team's finishing of late.

He was left frustrated again as QPR failed to take control of this contest in the first half.

Hugill blazed over when clean through after just four minutes, then Osayi-Samuel was twice denied by goalkeeper Freddie Woodman after Swansea had been opened up.

There was plenty of work for the home side's Wales defenders, Connor Roberts and Joe Rodon, to do in front of national boss Ryan Giggs, who was watching from the directors' box.

Swansea barely threatened at the other end before the break, although one fine Andre Ayew run had the visitors scrambling until his shot cannoned to safety off team-mate Roberts.

Cooper's men improved a little at the start of the second half, with Bersant Celina lashing over the top before Yan Dhanda appealed for a penalty after being eased off the ball by Yoann Barbet.

But Swansea continued to struggle for any fluency in possession, and Rangers threatened once more as Geoff Cameron's long-range drive deflected just wide off Rodon.

Eberechi Eze then curled off target before Osayi-Samuel's low centre flashed across the face of goal.

There was a late scare for Rangers when Liam Kelly fumbled under pressure from Brewster, but the goalkeeper recovered despite claims for a penalty and Swansea's shot-shy night was complete.

The draw means they are three points adrift of the play-off places in ninth, while Rangers remain 17th.

Swansea City manager Steve Cooper told BBC Radio Wales:

"We can do better with the amount of ball we had tonight and the positions we got in tonight.

"We are capable of creating more opportunities to shoot and cross so the part of the game which was not at the right level tonight was in and around their box.

"We are frustrated because we want to be winning games and we want to be scoring goals at home.

"We have good attacking players which can make a difference and they know they can do better but we cannot get too down, we just need to keep doing what we are doing."

QPR manager Mark Warburton told BBC Radio London:

"We've come to a tough venue against a very good opponent, restricted them to no shots on target, dominated long periods of the game, had numerous chances ourselves and you've got to get a clean sheet.

"But we're leaving here with a sense of disappointment that we didn't get all three points.

"All credit to the players, they looked strong they looked solid, the unity was there, they defended the goal well with passion, moved the ball forward quickly.

"I thought we looked very good at times, but it's about putting the ball in the back of the net."
