QPR dominated the match against Bolton Wanderers but lost
We came back and we fought against Hull for the 2-2, we had two good weeks. I told the boys present, even before the match, how they prepared, we recovered and this week they were excellent.
We had players back – Cameron, Angel and everyone in shape – Smith, Hemed looking a bit more fit, and I said before the game that I thought we were ready.
We started the game well, and overall, the statistics – 60% possession of the ball, 33 centers and 21 shots. We did enough to win two football games, but we did not do it.
Two bad goals and that's our problem, we can not continue to concede goals. It was our strength in the middle of the season when we had a good race and we came in eighth, we were hard to beat.
Bolton did not have many opportunities but each seemed to coincide with a great chance. Two goals and it's hard to come back. I thought we would do it and we would do it, and we continued.
It's frustrating for everyone, I can understand it. We worked hard in preparation and in terms of possession and crossing, that is what we wanted.
That's why we played Bright and Pav, removed Angel, and put the ball in the bottom to put the crossed centers in the surface. it was certainly not.
On the form of QPR
The race is not excellent at all and it frustrates me so much. Alright, losing Angel and Geoff Cameron, we had at the beginning of the season, but then we brought in four senior players and they helped us get back on track. We thought we had recovered, and then Cameron gave up.
I can see, the crowd can see, the effort is there and the effort is there, while you always attack in the end. And we are just slipping, making mistakes, being punished, and we continue to say that it will turn out and we can not feel sorry for ourselves.
With a race like this, you are frustrated and your confidence in yourself is low, but I thought we were very confident and that we fought until the end. Not our day, very disappointed with the results of Rotherham and Bolton.

On individual errors
We had a very good spell where we played with a back four and Toni and Lynchy were great in this regard. Joe Lumley still produces backups for us even last week.
It's a frustration and a sense of confidence, it's a momentum and we're on the wrong side of momentum right now, we have to score a couple of goals to get a result and that puts pressure on the attackers and on the defenders.
We must solve it and the only way to do it is in the field of training. We worked hard this week, which we will do on Monday [is] work hard again.
On the confusion surrounding the Angel Rangel substitution
We had always planned that Angel could play 60 minutes, then if we had lost 1-0, we would have awarded Pav to the back and if we had had 1-0, we would have tuned Darnell to the top. ;back.
In one way or another, the fourth official was cheated on number and held it in the air, creating confusion. But once we were right, and that was always the plan, Angel left and Pav came back and … the fourth official's fault.
To be honest, if Pav had left the game, I would have booed, I thought he was one of our best players. But we solved it in the end.
On the relegation battle
We always said, a few games ago, that we had to win two victories. We will have two wins in seven games, but we must win them quickly. We missed opportunities against Rotherham and Bolton.
We had a tough game against Norwich, but we have to believe in ourselves, believe in the work we do and believe in each other. I thought we still had that today, but I did not get the result.
As I said before the Leeds match, the victories are generally unexpected, and we expect that to happen next week.
On Grant Hall's injury
I think there is a problem of groin, so we will have to evaluate that one.
On Geoff Cameron's Disease
He just said it a few days ago. He had trained very well, he had 90 minutes against Southampton and we expected him to play today.
I think we lost that kind of protection in the back of the last four places, which was a good thing for us, and maybe we are too exposed and we do not treat them.
We had planned to play Geoff and we had to change at the very last moment, but we intended to believe that Bolton could be exploited in the vast areas.
We got 33 centers in the area, we need to score more goals, but my main concern is that we conceded two goals in each game and you do not win a football match of this type.
QPR loss of shape
I told players that I had never experienced it. In general, thanks to the experience, you know what to do and you have turns in hand, but I'm running out of tricks and we'd better find another one next week.
