QPR assistant head coach Xavi Calm said the team have to "move on" to Tuesday's game against Blackburn after falling to a 2-1 defeat to Millwall.

Calm was taking charge of the team for the London derby with QPR boss Marti Cifuentes missing through illness.

"He's [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," Calm told BBC Radio London.

"[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.

"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."
