Cifuentes praises 'fantastic energy' of fans

QPR boss Marti Cifuentes spoke to BBC Radio London after Jack Colbeck's 76th-minute strike gave his side a 2-1 home win over fifth-placed Blackburn Rovers.

"Blackburn showed why they are that high in the table because they were dangerous every time they were in the final third," he said.

"We spoke a lot about how they are a very good transition team. We showed energy, focus and commitment as a team, in that sense. The energy of the fans was fantastic and helped us very much.

"We had a very strong first half. We could have scored another and we said at half-time that it was time to keep pushing. The start of the second was more challenging, but we were very good overall.

"I'm very pleased for Jack. He's been having a difficult season with injuries. We really needed his experience in a moment when the team was struggling and it was a fantastic performance.

"We got 56 points last season and our target was to improve on that. I don't think we need to get very carried away."
