The R’s boss was delighted with his side after they beat Ipswich Town 2-0 on Saturday
Queens Park Rangers manager Steve McClaren has heaped praise on his side after they saw off Ipswich Town 2-0 at Portman Road on Saturday afternoon.
A Dean Gerken own goal and Tomer Hemed penalty were enough to take the points back to west London, and McClaren remains adamant that there is more to come from his QPR side.
“It was very professional,” McClaren told West London Sport. “That’s what we said at the beginning, this was an opportunity if we are professional and do our job, then we’ve got a chance of winning and that’s what we did right from the first whistle.
“We controlled the game, got the goals and saw the game through, clean sheet, two goals and should have been more. I think we’re slowly going forward with this team and I always thought we would do.
The Hoops endured their worst ever league start under the guidance of McClaren but the former Derby County boss has certainly steadied the ship, picking up 17 points from the last 27 available.
“The first four games were difficult but we made three very good loan signings, made a big difference to us and the rest of the team responded, they’ve come together, got a great spirit in the dressing room and that’s going out onto the field.
“We’re gaining in confidence, a little bit more belief but still a long way to go and still a lot more to come from this team.”
R’s fans will be hoping to see their side continue to excel when they host Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday night before welcoming Aston Villa on Friday night.
