PRE-MATCH | TAONA NYAKUHWA
“Looking ahead to QPR, we're going to approach that one as we would for most games. It's important that we continue to work hard throughout the week now and I’d back us to pick up all three points. Obviously, tactics stay in the changing room for now, but we will be ready for sure.
“It’s mixed emotions off the back of a 2-2 draw to Millwall. Whilst we're happy to have picked up another point, as a group, we felt that we did enough to pick up three points, but it wasn’t meant to be.
“It’s vital that we learn from that now though, identify that we need to work on set pieces and on seeing the game through but it's a positive atmosphere going into QPR now.”
RECENT RESULTS
Last time out, City courageously fought back from 1-0 down at home to Millwall to claim a 2-2 draw, in an encounter that saw the points shared in a highly contested PDL clash.
A Gruff Evans strike from distance was added to by a Millwall own goal, before the visitors equalised in the latter stages of the game.
Prior to this, the young Bluebirds were victorious in an emphatic fashion, with Leo Papirnyk and Jacob Norris scoring the all-decisive goals in a 3-0 win over Charlton at the Cardiff International Sports Campus.
