Stephan: QPR project is 'under construction'

QPR head coach Julien Stephan has been speaking to BBC Radio London before his side's Championship match at Coventry City on Saturday (15:00 BST).

Here are the main talking points:

• Stephan had a "strange feeling" following the 2-1 loss to Watford last time out. He described his team as "under construction" and believed they performed well in the second half but needed to make a faster start. He believes his side will win by playing high quality football for longer.

• QPR's summer incomings need time to adjust to the demands of the Championship. Winning and losing in the right way is important for showing progress through the Championship season and Stephan believes "identity is the most important thing".

• QPR will aim to bring more intensity to their match against Coventry. The Sky Blues have made an unbeaten start to the season, drawing 0-0 with Hull City in their opener and beating Derby County 5-3 at Pride Park.

• Fans shouldn't expect a string of wins to begin the Championship season and Stephan wants the fanbase to be patient as he and the club carry out their project. He said any disappointing results will not reflect the ambition of the club: "When you don't have enough points you don't have to panic and just continue your process."
