Queens Park Rangers 1-1 Stoke City: QPR still seek first home win

QPR head coach Marti Cifuentes told BBC Radio London:

“Football is about achieving, not deserving but you could say that according to the amount of chances we deserved something else – but football is about quality.

“In the first half we were very dominant and created a lot of situations, but one mistake and an amazing strike from (Tom) Cannon gave them the lead.

“It was not easy mentally for the team to miss a penalty so at half-time it was important to pick up the players again and for us to show commitment, and I’m proud about the way we kept pushing.

“The second half was open because Stoke have quality players and manager and it wasn’t easy to contain them but if there was a team looking for the win in the last minutes of the game it was us.”

Stoke head coach Narcis Pelach told BBC Radio Stoke:

“I’m pleased with the point because I know how difficult it is to compete in every single game in the Championship.

“We knew they were a team under the cosh and would put a lot of pressure on us because they have a lot of need, but I think we showed the same need and that is important to me and we could have won the game at the end.

[On disallowed goal] “I don’t want to go into it because if I do it teaches my players a culture I don’t like. I don’t want to go into the excuses game.”
