Redknapp admits tough day at Newcastle for QPR

QPR boss Harry Redknapp admits it was a tough day after defeat at Newcastle United.

QPR left the north-east still awaiting their first point on the road this season, although having fought hard for it without reward on Tyneside.

Redknapp said: "I thought it was drifting away into a 0-0 draw, to be honest with you, that's how I saw the game going. I couldn't sit here and say I was on tenterhooks thinking they were going to score, they were battering us.

"We hadn't created enough either. We were solid enough without really being that creative, and I thought it was drifting on to a decent point.

"It's one of those leagues, there are seven or eight teams down there and they are all going to be battling it out at the end of the season.

"You look at Burnley, suddenly two wins on the spin and they jump out of the relegation zone. You just need to have a little run of a couple of games and it can all turn, as Newcastle have found out this year."
