Stephan annoyed by QPR's first-half display

Julien Stephan was annoyed by QPR's poor first-half display in the 2-1 defeat at Watford.

Kieran Morgan pulled a goal back to give Rangers hope, but they were unable to find an equaliser and are still waiting for their first win since Frenchman Stephan took over as head coach.

They were punished for some sloppy defending, with Watford striker Luca Kjerrumgaard scoring twice in the space of four first-half minutes to put the hosts in control.

"Two completely different halves. The first half was too poor, honestly. It was not good enough," Stephan told BBC Radio London.

"The second one was completely different, with more intensity and quality. I'm very happy with the second half but very disappointed with the first.

"It's hard to imagine getting a good result when you only play 45 minutes. We need to react more quickly.

"We want to play like that (in the second half) and want to see the team like this. I hope quickly we will be able to play like this for 90 minutes and not only 45. This is the challenge."

Rangers' next match is away to Coventry City next Saturday.
