Following Sunderland's 3-0 win at QPR, Tony Mowbray spoke about the opposition and admitted that the scoreline was 'harsh' on the R's - although he also felt that we could have scored more!
STYLE OF PLAY
"I wouldn't say it was comfortable. I like the way QPR play, they like to build up, they gave us plenty of problems in the first 20 minutes of both halves. They have a way of playing, we have obviously studied them, and we changed our system a bit because we felt we could hurt them on the transition because they play really expansive football."
END TO END
"It's good when they get it right, but probably dangerous when they get it wrong. I said to Neil [Critchley, the QPR boss] after the game that I thought it was a bit harsh on them, 3-0, and yet we could have scored some more - Amad ran through one-on-one with the goalie, we hit the crossbar."
COMFORTABLE END
"Maybe if they hadn't missed the penalty it would have been a different evening, you never know. In the end the last 10 minutes or so felt comfortable for us. But I have to say they’re a good football team. They’re not getting the breaks at the moment and are missing key players. QPR are a good team and have got good footballers. The scoreline was a bit harsh.”
HARD FOUGHT WIN
"I'm happy with the three points, it's always nice for the supporters who make the trip to see the team win. There were times in the game where we weren't as fluent as we needed to be and yet we got the job done and that's what you have to do in football."
