Queens Park Rangers head coach Julien Stephan:
“I am happy with the win, especially how we managed and controlled the second half with the ball.
“It was not perfect – it could be perfect if we scored the second or third goal. But we scored the first one at 11 against 11, then the red card probably changed the plan of Swansea. It was more difficult for them to press us.
“We needed to have control of the ball. During half-time I told the players to continue to push, to stay in the opponents’ half.
“We had enough opportunities to score the second or the third. When you stay 1-0, you know what can happen at the end. They had a good header form Vipotnik and Paul made a very good save.”
Here’s how Twitter reacted as Alan Sheehan responds after boos from Swansea fans following defeat to QPR…
@chrisrog88: Pointless doing the interview, we know the easy questions he will be asked. “You were pushing for the equaliser before the red card, do you think that was the moment that changed the game?” Leading questions with excuses already in them. We were dreadful with 11 men.
@sonictheswans: If he’s still in a job Saturday. That tells every single Swansea fan that the ownership aren’t serious about this season. All those players mean nothing if you’ve got a supply teacher as a coach. @thgorringe act now or another season wasted. Attendances will get worse.
@MiltQLlamaIII: Did we watch the same game? We lead the championship in passing the ball sideways and backwards. We are terrified of the 18 yard area. Slow to the point of static and easy to defend against. We are dropping like a stone but it “wasn’t to be”?
@ianroberts52: This is starting to border on propaganda. We were terrible even before the sending off and have been in most games. People are not stupid
@elisowenss: Hats off to Widell and Vipotnik, done more in 10 minutes than every other forward combined.
@scmw12: If he’s not gone by tomorrow morning latest, these owners aren’t serious. Let’s see
@Nigsyboy: Regardless of red card, no game plan, just aimless crosses in the box and were not even good at that!
@CJGLV1912: Who’s asking these questions my god like 😂😂😂
@scottbevan123: Can you stop pissing about. The feel good factor that was there before the season started has gone. The football is shit & boring. We aren’t good defensively, we’re shit in attack. We aren’t just shit. The only good thing is the jumper
@DI93_: Just got home after what was an absolutely gutless first 35 minutes, followed up by trying to hang in there against a bang average QPR side. Another 100 mile trip made. Another absolutely honking performance. The boos rattled him. Rightly so.
@Shaunmend1990: Get him gone, yes he steady the ship when we were struggling but he’s not the answer. We need experienced manager now.
@JustReliq: You can really tell that the boos he received seriously rattled him. Have to say, this dude’s questioning is proving to be bordering on propaganda. I’ll stay adamant that he deserved time and benefit of the doubt. We’ve gotten worse every game for too many games now.
“we wanted to create more and went with a more attacking lineup”
Top scorer on the bench and our best midfielder playing at right back is “a more attacking lineup”?!!
Also subbed off the player who has the most assists (Inoussa) at half time 👌🏼 pic.twitter.com/uFdbNfgCra
