Hasselbaink admits QPR lacked cutting edge

QPR: Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink

QPR manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink admitted his side lacked a cutting edge in the 0-0 draw at Cardiff.

Rangers, with keeper Matt Ingram making his debut, defended well but rarely troubled the home defence.

“I think we played a really good match. In the first half we controlled the game and had a lot of possession,” Hasselbaink said.

“The only thing I would have liked would have been if we had penetrated a bit more – went for it a little bit more, ended our attacks with a cross or shot.

“We were keeping the ball. But I’m not somebody who wants possession just for possession. We want to go somewhere. We want to have a purpose.

“But on the other hand we were very dominant with the ball. In patches we looked really good.

“We showed a big commitment and a big togetherness, so in that sense I am very happy.”

Rangers are in action again on Tuesday evening, away to promotion-chasing Brighton.
