While a fuming Ian Holloway waited to talk to the referee at Sixfields, Tim Breacker spoke to qpr.co.uk about a night to forget.

Regulations require managers to wait until at least half an hour after a game before discussing matters of contention with match officials.

Ollie waited and waited but referee Andy Hall remained in his changing room, leaving Tim Breacker to pick the bones over a thoroughly forgettable night in Northampton.

The Cobblers deserved their win but Breacker felt that key decisions had gone against the Superhoops and expressed the coaching team's views in no uncertain terms.

"It might have been a foul at best but there was little in it", he said of Ian Evatt's red card. "The player's gone down easily , Ugo was in the way and yet he didn't even go to the linesman.

"He was 60 yards away - why didn't he consult his linesman?

"We had a weakened team out there and we've got four games in 10 days. But we could have beaten Northampton with that team if the red card hadn't ruined it."

Breacker said that Rangers were also angry with the penalty award in the last minute and a perceived lack of consistency.

"It was the most blatant dive and everyone could see it. It was never a penalty.

"But there player was clean through when he went down and Ugo wasn't sent off. If Ian Evatt deserved a red card, why not Ugo? Where's the consistency?"

Regardless of the refereeing controversies though, Tim Breacker admitted that the Rs had not played well.

"The performance was disappointing. This season we've tried to add to our squad so that when we are struggling with injuries we are more solid than last year.

"Some of these players were playing their first full games and we've learned plenty of things about them tonight."
