Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink admitted QPR paid the price for a late lapse in concentration in their 1-1 draw against Blackburn.

Leroy Fer’s goal put Rangers ahead but Hope Akpan’s 85th-minute equaliser at Ewood Park means they are still without a win after eight matches under Hasselbaink.

“You always have to defend properly and keep your focus,” the Dutchman said.

“At that moment the ball bounced a little bit too much for my liking and we forgot our focus a little bit.”

However, Hasselbaink insisted there were “lots of positives” to take from the game despite Rangers slumping to 17th in the Championship table.

“I’m very happy with the team performance, the commitment and organisation,” he added.

“We looked compact and solid. If we keep performing like this then the win will come.”
