'I'm happy with Norwich point' says boss
NEIL WARNOCK declared himself satisfied with Rangers' solitary point against Norwich – saying his team are just as likely to win away as at home.
Rangers shaded a tight encounter at Loftus Road, even if the visitors missed a first half penalty, but had to be content with a second successive 0-0 draw on home soil.
“I think away from home is as good as at home nowadays for a lot of teams. I'd definitely prefer to play Norwich away from home if I'm honest,” the Rangers boss said.
“They'll have to come out a lot more with the home fans there and I don't see any reason why we shouldn't enjoy ourselves away from home.
“We have two tough away games this week , but they'll be tough for our opponents as well.”
Warnock added: “I thought it was a good game today. We put some good balls in but there was not enough devilment to get on the end of it really. But I was pleased and I enjoyed it.
“It was end to end stuff and you don't normally get 0-0 draws like that, with teams trying to win it.”
Rangers have now gone nine hours without conceding a goal in the league at home – a missed penalty from Norwich's Wes Hooliham ensuring a sixth clean sheet on home soil.
It may not have rewarded the best crowd at QPR for six years, but the manager was not about to complain.
“You don't get the clean sheets we've got without working hard at it and that's all credit to the lads who are there,”said Warnock. “If you can't score, the next best thing is a clean sheet and I'm delighted.”
Kyle walker earned special praise for the danger he provided going forward at every opportunity.
“Kyle enjoys himself,” Warnock said. “We gave him a bit more freedom today to come into midfield and bomb on from there and I thought he did very well today in that role.”
