Jim Magilton declared himself 'delighted' with the R's performance in our opening pre-season friendly against Aldershot Town on Saturday.

Goals from Akos Buzsaky, Heidar Helguson, Patrick Agyemang and Dexter Blackstock ensured Magilton's reign got off to a winning start, to the delight of their gaffer.

"I was really pleased - delighted," he told www.qpr.co.uk.

"There were a lot of positive things that came out of the football match.

"The finishing was first class and I'm delighted for Akos and Pat in particular. They each had frustrating campaigns last term and for them to notch on Saturday was great."

Magilton added: "We passed the ball well in patches, looked sharp with and without the ball and generally performed quite well."

However, Magilton warned against complacency, adding: "There's still a lot of work to be done.

"The fitness side of things will take care of itself over the coming weeks, but we didn't keep possession well enough in certain areas of the pitch.

"We were wasteful at times and that disappoints me. However, we're heading in the right direction and I'm pleased with how we're set at this stage."
