QPR boss Ian Holloway has said finding the right role in his team for Ben Gladwin is proving to be a head scratcher.

Gladwin came on for the flagging Sandro at Rotherham on Saturday for his first minutes since the 2-0 home defeat to Brentford at the end of October.

It was also his debut for a third boss since he made the move from the County Ground in summer 2015.

Even so, it amounts to only six appearances this season for the former Swindon player, who along with Massimo Luongo flew Robins' nest to join Rs.

While the Australian has been a mainstay under the three gaffers, Gladwin has suffered with both injury and form that saw two loan spells - one back to Swindon, and the other a shortened stay with Bristol City.

Holloway is wondering how he fits in a squad he previously described as being overrun with number 10s.

The manager added: “If you're a midfield player who wants to dribble with it and you're coming from Swindon and you playing out wide, I've got to find the right blend and balance for you.

“If I ask you to sprint inside, up the wing. Ben Gladwin, I'm talking about. He'll look at me as if I must be mad. I don't want him to be anyone but he is. Same with Nasser.

"I've got to fit him in with the team.”
