It's now just one win in 16 matches for Barnsley in all competitions, dating back to the start of November (W1 D5 L10)
They have won only one of their first six games of 2018 - their worst start to a calendar year since 2014 (1 win from the first 8) and the Reds were relegated at the end of that 2013-2014 season.
When Barnsley defeated Birmingham 2-0 on the 4th November 2017, they sat in 16th place and were seven points clear of the relegation zone. Since then they have won only once and now sit in 21st place and are only a point clear of trouble.
Barnsley's horrific run at Loftus Road continues. This was their 11th successive defeat there and they have lost 17 of the last 18. In total Barnsley have lost 22 of their 25 visits.
They have only ever won once at QPR, their second ever visit, in January 1950 and remarkably it finished 5-0.
It was the first time this season QPR have defeated a side in the bottom half of the Championship.
This was Barnsley's 15th league defeat of the season, only Nottingham Forest (17) and bottom side Burton (18) have lost more.
They are now only three defeats short of their 2016-2017 total.
Adam Davies' run of 122 consecutive starts for Barnsley came to an end as Nick Townsend started for the first time since the 31st October 2015.
This was Townsend's 11th start for Barnsley, he has kept just one clean sheet.
A Barnsley league match was goal-less at half time for the 10th time this season, seven of which have come in the past nine Championship outings.
Former Barnsley midfielder Josh Scowen was making his 29th appearance for QPR since leaving Oakwell in the summer... and inevitably scored his first goal for the Hoops.
Including his time with the Reds it ended a 52 game drought for Scowen since netting in Barnsley's 4-3 win at Cardiff in December 2016.
His 48th minute effort is the earliest second half goal Barnsley have conceded in the Championship this season.
This game was the 16th in a row in which Barnsley failed to score more than once - a new club record.
This was only QPR's second clean sheet in 16 matches and the first time they have won and kept a clean sheet since October.
Ryan Manning is the second opposition player to be sent off against Barnsley this season, after Sheffield United's Leon Clarke in August.
It means there has been a red card in successive Barnsley games for the first time since December 2016 when Blackburn's Darragh Lenihan was sent off on Boxing Day and then Barnsley's Marc Roberts was dismissed against Birmingham on New Year's Day.
Each of QPR's last seven Championship goals have been scored by different players (Scowen, Luongo, Washington, Oteh, Smyth, Smith, Flint og)
Barnsley remain one of four Championship sides this season to have failed to win after going behind, along with Bolton, Reading and Sunderland - The Reds have lost seven of the last eight games in which they have conceded the first goal (D1), the last time they did win after conceding first was 3-2 against Leeds in January 2017.
In Barnsley's last match Adam Hammill was the first player in his 30s to appear for Barnsley since Peter Ramage (31) against Notts County in April 2015 - Matt Mills has now topped Ramage as he was 31 years and 204 days, whereas Ramage was 31 years and 143 days.
Paul Heckingbottom did not make a substitution until the 68th minute, the latest he has waited to make a change since the New Year's Day victory at Sunderland (73rd min), Hecky had made a half time change in each of the last three matches.

QPR manager Ian Holloway said:
"It was a huge performance and result, especially as we didn't play that well. We ground it out. You don't always flow. This is a learning thing for us.
"How we didn't score a couple more I don't know, but I felt totally exhilarated with the pace of our breaks late on.
"I'm gutted that Ryan was sent off, because he was doing well.
"I want Ryan to tackle and he tried to make a tackle on a skiddy pitch. It wasn't intentional. It wasn't a nasty one."
