Listen: Blackburn boss Ismael on QPR defeat

  • Published

Blackburn head coach Valerien Ismael bemoaned the manner in which his side were beaten 1-0 by QPR as they lost at home for this sixth time in the Championship this season.

"It was a typical 0-0 game, I would say," he told BBC Radio Lancashire. "We've got the better chances before 1-0, first half and especially second half - their goalkeeper made a big save.

"Then we give the goal away. That's the big frustration for me. The boys need to learn, at least keep the point - so many games, every point counts. We gave the goal away, it was too cheap.

"This one is painful. The feeling is that we are not going forward. A big disappointment about the performance and how we gave the ball away.

"We will go again, but the main problem is we are not winning at home. Today is completely unnecessary. Every time it is a tight game we are not able to take the points and to stay calm. At some point we need to have a turnaround at home or it will be difficult.

"Nobody wanted to take responsibility. At some point when we played forwards it was much better. I don't know why the players don't always try to do that because that is our game."
