'Not perfect but it could be worse' - Stephan
- Published
Queens Park Rangers head coach Julien Stephan remained pragmatic about his side's 0-0 draw with Oxford United amid a five-game unbeaten Championship run.
"It's not perfect but it could be worse," Stephan told BBC Radio London.
"We were completely dominant in the second half, we had some chances to score but we [had] not enough effort in the last third."
QPR, who recorded a second clean sheet of the season, have claimed 11 points from their past five league games, turning their league form around and climbing from 22nd to 10th, one point off the play-off spots.
"Five games ago we were completely bottom of the table, so it can change very quickly," Stephan said.
The R's recorded just one shot on target against Oxford, the second of three matches in seven days, following last weekend's draw at Sheffield Wednesday and this Saturday's trip to Bristol City (15:00 BST).
"When you play three games in one week you have to manage your squad, you have to manage your dressing room," Stephan added after making five changes to his line-up on Wednesday night.
Saturday's hosts the Robins have lost just one game this season and sit fifth in the table.
"If we stay very strong defensively, as we did the last three games in fact, I think we will win some other points," Stephan added.
