SATISFIED

Posted on: Sat 29 Mar 2008

Luigi De Canio was full of praise for his players, after seeing his much-changed side hold home-specialists Ipswich Town to a draw at Portman Road.

Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, the R's gaffer said: "I think we were really good value for the point.

"Both teams played really well and fought with their hearts and it's a shame there were no goals to show for both side's efforts.

"Ipswich are one of the best teams in the division and it's a valuable and very important point for us."

De Canio added: "We were without out top-scorer in Akos Buzsaky and our captain Martin Rowlands was only fit enough to play from the bench, so it's a great point for us.

"I can take a great amount of satisfaction from the afternoon. It shows how much we have progressed. We're getting consistency in our results and that is very good."

De Canio was honest enough to admit Rangers were 'quite fortunate' not to concede a late penalty when Matthew Connolly appeared to handle the ball on the line, commenting: "It is difficult to judge if the ball went over the line, as it was in the air.

"Possible we were lucky that the referee did not see the handball, but even so, Lee Camp assures me he would have saved it anyway!"
