Sebastian Polter admits he in a race to make up for lost time after hitting the net twice in the last two matches.

The German striker cost QPR a reported £1m when signed from Bundesliga outfit FSV Mainz 05 in the summer, but chances have been few and far, with first Charlie Austin and then winger Matt Phillips preferred up front.

But under new boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, the 24-year-old has started the last four games and scored in two.

Admittedly, Rs have claimed only one point, but for Polter it’s a second opportunity to impress.

He said: “It has been difficult for me, it’s a different league, a different country and I have to recognise everything for me; what is good; what is bad, and now with a new coach a new chance, and I have to get as many minutes as I can.”

Polter insisted knocking on Hasselbaink's door to remind him he was waiting a chance was not for him.

He added: “The most important thing is to show on the pitch.

“If the coach sees you’re working hard and I am then that’s the thing. I was not happy but now I have more minutes, so it’s better.”
