Barnsley 0-1 QPR: Post Match Reaction

Last updated : 25 April 2010 By Rob Miles (BarnsleyBoy)

"I think we got a reaction from the players today. We created more chances than QPR - they fluffed one and scored one - but we had enough to put that game to bed which is frustrating. To be fair we did not pass the ball enough and if we could have done that then we would have won the match. QPR were mostly quiet.

"We tweaked things a little today and it worked for some of the time and at others it didn't. We made the wrong choices and wrong decisions at times and that was really the story of our afternoon. It was frustrating and to end on a defeat here today is a little disappointing but I think the players have given me everything this season. It was just a step too far to carry on that promotion form throughout the season. It is disappointing not to get something from the game.

"We did not pass it well enough today and we cannot go from back to front when you have two little ones up front.

"We now have one game left and then we can get on with the job in hand.

"I think our fans have been fantastic all season but I am just sorry that we could not come out and thank them at the end. We had said before that we did not want them on the pitch and the police would not let us back out for health and safety reasons. It is a real shame because the players wanted to come back and show their appreciation. Our supporters have been tremendous this season and right behind both the players and me since I have been here. I am looking forward to that continuing.

"Daniel Bogdanovic has no chance really of being fit for West Brom but he is desperate for a five minute cameo; Anderson de Silva will not be fit enough to play again this season and Filipe (Teixeira) wants to play against his parent club next week but we will have to have that conversation and phone call later.

"The performance today was a little better".
