Hasselbaink pleased with QPR’s point

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink praised his players after QPR’s 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest and was particularly pleased with their defending in the final stages.

Rangers have won only one of their 11 matches since Hasselbaink took over as manager – and the club have never won at the City Ground.

However, having seen his team drop points by conceding late goals in previous matches, the Dutchman saw reasons to be positive.

“The last 10 minutes is a difficult period and we played well and we were comfortable,” he said.

“It was a good point for us at a hard place to come to. To come away with a clean sheet is very positive.

“If we had believed a little bit more and upped the tempo in the second half, then we could have created more chances and then, who knows. It could have gone either way.”

The draw – QPR’s seventh in their 10 league matches under Hasselbaink – leaves them 13th in the Championship table, 10 points adrift of the play-off places.
