DANIEL PUDIL boosted Wednesday’s play-off bid — and condemned QPR to a fifth straight defeat.

“But we are ready for this part of the season because we are strong both physically and tactically.

Ian Holloway had called his Rangers side “pathetic” after the Good Friday defeat at Bristol City.
And Wednesday quickly punished the home side’s injury-hit defence.
Reach put them ahead with a sharply taken low shot from 15 yards.
And although Guinea striker Sylla levelled from six yards on 20 minutes, Wednesday moved back in front in the 31st minute.
Pudil headed in from close range after Alex Smithies had only parried away Jordan Rhodes’ effort.
Jake Bidwell thumped a 20-yard shot high over the bar as Rangers improved in the second half.
Sub Kazenga LuaLua then had a close-range shot blocked.
