Millwall boss Alex Neil speaking to BBC Radio London:

“I think what it [this run of results] does do is it shows how quickly football can change. The last home game here there was a lot of frustration conceding in the 97th minute [against Cardiff City], which I understand. I think since then we’ve been brilliant in terms of the performances and results.

“It was important to me today that we won at home. Most of our fans come to see us here so I want for them to go home happy and put on a performance and, more importantly, carry a threat and score goals. I think right from the start we did that today.”

On club’s transfer activity: “The boys have been brilliant. We always knew we’d be bringing players in and Romain [Esse] would be moving on provided someone came in and bought him. We knew we were going to bring in younger players and develop the style.

“The hard bit with all of that is to do it and win, and we’re doing that. We’re doing what we set out to do and at the moment it’s going really well.”

QPR assistant head coach Xavi Calm:

“He’s [Marti Cifuentes] OK, not good enough to come to the game. He was on the couch with the blanket, trying to be in touch with us and hopefully he’ll recover as soon as possible, but today it wasn’t possible to be here for him.

“[The start to the game was] Tough because we didn’t expect to concede this type of goal early in the game. We reacted really well after conceding the goal with an amazing goal, but it’s always a shame to concede these type of goals that we never concede usually.

“The second goal, maybe we were not as good as we normally are. And in the second half we reacted again but we didn’t get the one point that we had the feeling we deserved.

“In the second half we pushed, the lads did really well. They gave us everything until the end, the bench impact was there and was good but at the end it is a 2-1, no point for us, and we have to move on and try to get the points on Tuesday [against Blackburn Rovers].

“The lads are working hard. They are doing everything to get the points.”

On Jimmy Dunne: “He’s a Queens Park Rangers player. He felt a little bit the groin two days ago and we picked the best team we had available to play the game. He’s our player, hopefully he’s going to carry on as one of us.”
