QPR manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was far from happy with his side’s performance in their 6-0 home defeat to Newcastle United but was still full of praise for the visiting side, as quoted in The Chronicle.
The Magpies ran riot at Loftus Road as a brace from Jonjo Shelvey and first league goals of the season for Ayoze Perez, Ciaran Clark, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Grant Hanley helped them stroll to their biggest away league victory since 1962.

After losing their opening two Championship matches United seem to have really found their form having now won five games in a row and four without conceding a goal.
QPR meanwhile drop to 14th in the table following the heavy defeat and Hasselbaink was accepting of the defeat.
“Newcastle are a great team with great players – they looked a proper team,” the former Chelsea forward was quoted in The Chronicle.
“It went totally wrong for us, and very well for Newcastle. It was easy for them to get the ball behind us.”

Now Hasselbaink and his QPR side must regroup and prepare for Saturday’s match away to league leaders Huddersfield (3pm kick-off) as the look to bounce back from their humiliating defeat.
Meanwhile Newcastle will be looking to keep their impressive run going at home to a fragile Wolves side who have just been beaten 4-0 at home to Barnsley.
