Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was left to rue his side's drop in concentration after falling to his first defeat as QPR manager.

Junior Hoilett continued his fine run of form to net deep into first half injury time before Ipswich scored twice in the closing stages.

After defending solidly for 75 minutes Rs defence came unstuck in the final 15 minutes as first Jonathan Douglas found the net and then Luke Chambers headed home in the final minute.

Hasselbaink was critical of his side in the final stages as well as failing to capitalise on their extended periods of possession.

He said: “Look it comes to this, if you don't defend properly, if you switch of you will be punished.

“In this sense, Ipswich capitalised very well. I thought their first goal was a little bit flukey, he miss-hit it, but then you still have to stop the cross coming in.

“Ninety six minutes you have to defend properly and capitalise when you have the ball and I think we did capitalise when we had the ball but I think the confidence and the calmness because we are getting to the end went a little bit out of the door.”

The gaffer added: It’s now two games we are winning 1-0 that I really didn’t see that we would draw or lose we were comfortable, but when you are comfortable you have to be sharp and we didn’t do that very well.

“That’s what happens in football and there is where you need to stay sharp, and when you are comfortable you switch of, that is just a human thing that we need to improve.

“We have the players who can create opportunities but you have to then also be aware that we can't concede and sometimes it is human nature you switch off because you are doing well and thinking of other things.”

Despite going home empty handed, the QPR gaffer was pleased with the way his side started the game but knows they need to take chances.

After taking the lead, Leroy Fer had an excellent opportunity to double the lead but failed to find the back of the net.

He said: “I think in the first half we were really well organised and we couldn't have scored at a better moment, we get a chance to score 2-0 you don't take it, it stays 1-0 then you know you have to be resolute and defend until the end.

“I'm not disappointed in the first half, the first 25 minutes, but after you need to increase your awareness and your concentration, you need to increase that, you need to increase that by 20%.

“You know the last 20 minutes that is where they are going to be more direct committing more people forward taking more risk and all those kinds of things so you have to be more disciplined and sharper and I think we can do better than that.”
