Warburton backs QPR players to learn from defeat
Mark Warburton admitted his QPR team were well short of their best against Nottingham Forest.
But the Rangers boss also insisted the players deserve credit for their strong showing during the second half of the season.
They went down 3-1 at the City Ground, where Warburton endured a troubled nine-month spell as Forest manager in 2017.
“There’s no shouting and screaming. We’ve been on a really good run and they deserve enormous credit,” he said.
“But what we have to do is recognise the importance of maintaining standards. If standards drop slightly at this level, you get hurt.
“You can’t afford to be slightly off of it. And I thought today we were slightly off of it.”
Rangers’ performance was a huge disappointment after a convincing 3-0 win against Coventry on Friday.
Warburton said: “It’s a learning curve for us. You’ve got to learn every time you play.
“Good Friday was good to play in and enjoy that. But today was equally as important for us in terms of learning that we must maintain our standards and keep moving forward.”

Exacty, acsrjjp. We all saw the slip up immediately ‘he’ came on, but at least he’s started to score – eventually
Will Warbs learn anything here? what do you think. I think more of the same next season.

in order to maintain the same standard, you must pick the same standard of team, however to keep playing players not of the same high standard, it is inevitable the results will not be of the same standard ,so Mr warburton the buck stops with you.
