I said to the players that we're not coming here to take a point - we're coming here to win. Thankfully we did in the second half from a corner routine that we worked on yesterday. The positive thing was you see the players going right to the end to try and get a result out of it." I thought first half we were very good, had the better of the play and the better of the chances. I can see that they're a good honest group of players to work with and coming to a team in form, we're out of form. "The fact of the matter is, when you don't win you think about what you could do better more than the positives because I expect the positives to be good, I expect us to open teams up and get some good chances.
QPR kicked off the Neil Critchley era with a 1-0 win at Preston. Here's how we rated the Rangers players. Seny Dieng: 7.
Was positive in possession and unlucky to be denied his first goal for the club by a fine save from Freddie Woodman. Replaced by Olamide Shodipo late in the game. Sprinted fully 20 yards to tackle a Preston player on the touchline to set up a Rangers’ attack in a strong display. Had two men doubled up on him whenever he got the ball as Preston pinpointed him as QPR’s dangerman. Put in a superb full-back’s display. A tower of strength at the back as Rangers held off some late Preston pressure.
Both sides continued to go toe-to-toe in the second half as Alvaro Fernandez called Seny Dieng into action for the first time, with his low fizzed effort held ...
Grew into the second half - winning the ball back and leading the odd break. Created a good chance for Woodburn in the second half and had more of an impact. The main threat for PNE on an off-day for the team in an attacking sense. Experience will benefit him in the long-run. Ran the channels and put himself about. Battled hard at the top end of the pitch as the lone striker. Was nullified for most of the first half but stepped up his performance and started to ask questions with his direct runs and crossing. Competed hard for all 50-50s in the middle of the park. Corner went over his head for the goal. Wasn't able to run the game as he likes to. Ryan Lowe's men huffed and puffed in the closing stages but were unable to find a way through. Both sides continued to go toe-to-toe in the second half as Alvaro Fernandez called Seny Dieng into action for the first time, with his low fizzed effort held by the QPR number one.
Ryan Lowe felt Preston North End were “flat” in their home defeat to Queens Park Rangers.
“Hopefully we’ll get a couple back,” added Ryan. “We kept going until the end. “I didn’t use it as an excuse last week when we won in terms of the squad and the depth we’ve got, and I’m not going to use it again because the youngsters are there for a reason. “There were one or two ricochets across the box, one or two corners where we could do a bit better, but it was just a lack of quality.” “Even whether it was the passes, the pass appreciation, the quality of pass, the shot selection, the cross selection – we just needed to up it that little bit. “After last week’s performance [in the 4-1 victory over Blackburn Rovers], we knew we were never going to get another one of them performances, but what I said to the group was ‘you’ve set the standards last week to go again’, and I felt it was flat all round really.
