Peter Crouch, whose career began at Queens Park Rangers and is intertwined with that of the club's existing boss Harry Redknapp, successfully condemned them to relegation while establishing Stoke City Crouch obtained the very first and was hauled down for the penalty that Jon Walters made 2-0 to it. If Aston Villa gain at Manchester United tomorrow QPR is likely to be relegated a' and even when they cannot, it appears to be merely a matter of time. Redknapp knows it, and is beginning to plan for life in the Championship. If he thought QPRas Premier League plan was now finishing asked, he said: aYes, it appears like it will be nearly impossible now. Itas a big disappointment, but I've had those before and I am sure Iall have them again as time goes on. aWeave experienced it in many activities but there's a thin dividing line which makes the difference. Right now I was disappointed to be behind at half-time as I thought the better football was played by us, but we lacked a risk up front.a Not Stoke, with Crouch score only his 2nd goal in 26 games. Redknapp managed him at Portsmouth and Tottenham, and needed him at Loftus Road. aPeter is a good person. I signed him many times and tried to have him in January.a QPRas reduction was Stokeas gain, as assistant director Dave Kemp recognized. aPeter has been playing well however, not scoring, and that'll do his confidence an electrical of good,a he said. Stoke had won just one of the previous 15 activities, but are actually six points before Wigan Athletic in 17th place. aWeave emerge of and had a bad work it today with the details, but we're perhaps not planning to rest on that,a Kemp said. aWeave got to keep that planning the last four games.a With so much at stake, it was not surprising that both parties went for goal from the start, while the majority of the efforts were high on optimism, low on quality. Adel Taarabt curled a free-kick wide and shot high over the Stoke target before going down early in the 2nd half with a shoulder harm, while Loic Remy was rejected 3 times by intelligent preserves from Asmir Begovic. Cameron Jerome lost a chance to provide Stoke an early on lead, while Walters and Crouch both examined Rob Green, remembered in the QPR goal, from long range. But then Crouch arranged shortly before half-time. Marc Wilson started the move with a neat interception and incisive cross from the halfway point. Jerome outpaced Christopher Samba to get the ball, and entered low from the left. the ball was met by Crouch with a sidefooted finish from 10 meters that crept under Greenas body. QPR dropped Andros Townsend with a injury at half-time, but nonetheless looked the better part, with Begovic tipping away Jose Bosingwaas straightening free-kick. Walters made it 2-0 from the penalty spot in the 77th minute after Robert Huth headed Glen Whelanas free-kick against the post and Clint Hill pulled down Crouch since the ball broke. The spot-kick needed to be taken twice, after referee Chris Foy identified encroachment at the first, but They are put by Walters both away emphatically. While accepting his fate, Redknapp also warned that a return to the Premier category wouldn't be described as a ritual. aPeople say they'll come straight back up, nonetheless it will be very difficult a' donat kid yourself. The Championship is just a tough league, and you need the right characters to get out of it.a Match facts QPR (4-4-1-1 ): Green; Bosingwa, Samba, Hill, Ben Haim; Townsend, Derry, Mbia, Hoilett; Taarabt; Remy Subs: Mackie for Townsend 46, Bothroyd for Taarabt 56 Subs maybe not used: Cesar, Diakite, Park, Granero, Onuoha, Stoke City (4-4-2 ): Begovic; Shotton, Huth, Shawcross, Wilson;, Whelan Adam, Nzonzi, Walters; Jerome, Crouch Subs: Wilkinson for Wilson 61, Whitehead for Adam 70, Cameron for Crouch 89 Subs not used: Sorensen, Jones, Owen, Kightly Referee: C Foy
