Stoke City boss Narcis Pelach said he was satisfied to take a point following his side's 1-1 draw at Queens Park Rangers.

The Potters are now unbeaten in their last four matches, picking up eight points out of a possible 12, and the Spaniard is happy with the progress which has seen his side jump up into the top half of the Championship table.

"I’m pleased with the point because I know how difficult it is to compete in every single game in the Championship," Pelach told BBC Radio Stoke.

"We went to play QPR away and it was about standing up and competing very well - we knew they were going to put pressure on us.

"They have a lot of need but I think we showed the same and this is something very important to me because I want my team to value every single moment, every single game, every single point, and I think we showed that togetherness.

"We take the point and we go into the next one."

Bae Jun-Ho thought he had scored the winning goal late on for the visitors but was adjudged to have handled the ball and Pelach remained tight-lipped on the incident after the match.

"I don't want to go into it because it teaches my players a culture I don't like," he added.

"I don't want to go into the excuses game, it is what it is."
