Sheffield United were made to work hard to preserve their unbeaten run
Sheffield United extended their unbeaten league run to 13 games but will be grateful to come away with a point against a wasteful QPR.
QPR's Dexter Blackstock had a number of chances to score but was denied time and again by Blades keeper Paddy Kenny.
Substitute Matteo Alberti blasted over from 12 yards from a Blackstock cross as QPR wasted another chance late on.
The visitors' best chance came from a Kyle Naughton free-kick which Blackstock headed on to the bar.
QPR manager Paulo Sousa:
"Mediterranean people are never patient and Flavio Briatore's a very ambitious person but he knows we are in a good way.
"When I came Flavio asked me to create a consistent, solid team and our aim is the Premier League.
"We have improved in the last year and a half and next season we will be much, much better."
Sheffield United manager Kevin Blackwell:
"Kenny's been brilliant. I rate him as the best goalkeeper in the Championship and a capable Premier League goalkeeper.
"If you are going to break records you need everyone to do something and he did.
"We had chances at the end so it was a fair result.
"We've still go to play teams up there. I think the last 10 games will be exciting.
"All you can do is keep doing your best. It's all to play for and if we go for automatic promotion and fall just short, we've still got the play-offs."
