"It was nice to get what we deserved because in the last few weeks that hasn't happened. I can't tell you how proud I am of my lads.
"I couldn't be more chuffed if I were a badger at the start of the mating season.
"It was great to get some of my boys back. I made some changes and they showed me some character.
"The reality of the situation has been that with the injuries that we've had and the new transfer window coming in it's been diabolical.
"I'm hoping to add some new faces if I can when the window opens.
"We are not too far off the play-offs and have a chance to do even better than we did last season."

"We had enough of the ball to have got something from the game but you can't afford to lose concentration like that.
"We had possession but got to their 18-yard box and then didn't deliver the final ball or show that bit of quality.
"QPR are a big side and we coped well with that but then from one cross, we allowed the striker to get in between the centre-back and full-back.
"We've just got to keep working and plugging away, and we need to do better in the last third of the pitch.
"It's a test of my players' character and they haven't let me down. I can't fault any of them for their efforts and I back my players to the hilt.
"We know we need to strengthen, not just because of the injuries and suspensions we have but just because of a lack of numbers. We knew that would be the case."
