QPR didn't deserve their win, says Roeder
Norwich manager Glenn Roeder admitted his side had been well below par after their 1-0 defeat by QPR - but insisted Rangers didn't do enough to win.
The visitors came away from Carrow Road with three points despite playing for over an hour with just 10 men following the sending off of defender Matt Connolly for two bookable offences.
Eight minutes later Iain Dowie's men went ahead when Mark Rowlands fired home a low free kick from the edge of the box after the original effort had been blocked by the encroaching Mark Fotheringham.
"I'm not here to make excuses, our build-up was slow, we were not creative enough and too many of our players put in below-average performances," said Canaries boss Roeder.
"I don't necessarily think QPR did enough to deserve a win but what they did do was defend very well.
"They are a big, powerful strong team and we didn't play well enough to break them down.
"Now we've got to work hard and put things right against Sheffield United on Saturday because our fans are superb and they deserve a lot better than this."
