Boss Paul Lambert felt his side weren’t good enough in both boxes during their 3-0 defeat at QPR, but despite the result was pleased with his team’s overall performance.
“Whether we deserved to win the game, I don’t know, but performance-wise we were dominating the ball in long spells,” he said when asked whether he believed the result didn’t really match his team’s display.
“I think the difference was at both ends of the pitch. I don’t think we did enough in the attacking third and we didn’t defend as strongly as we should have done.

Town take on Sheffield United on Saturday looking for their second home win in eight days as they enter the busy Christmas period.
The bottom-of-the-table Blues beat Wigan 1-0 last week to record their first Portman Road victory since April and only their second of the season anywhere. The win, their third at home during 2018, reduced the distance to safety to five points plus goal difference.
As they go into the first of four Championship games in 11 days, manager Paul Lambert says that the mood at the club is positive with everyone believing Town’s fortunes are beginning to change.
