QPR manager Ian Holloway hailed the spirit of his side after they ended a run of six straight defeats with victory against Wolves at Molineux.

Pawel Wszolek's 87th minute strike sealed the badly needed win after Wolves midfielder Dave Edwards had cancelled out Idrissa Sylla's opener.

Holloway said: "It was probably the worst that we played but the best heart that we showed.

"In the last couple of games we have played some wonderful football and got nothing.

"Well today the boys earned that against the run of play and we have come here and stolen those points but that is what you have to do in football sometimes.

"We had more efforts on goal and Pawel deserved that as he chases and chases and sometimes the harder you work the luckier you get."

The win moved QPR five points clear of the relegation zone and Holloway, who plans a busy transfer window, hopes more victories will follow.

"For me this is only the start," he said. "Six (defeats) in a row, you get all this nonsense spoken and it is unsettling for your group.

"I have to make some changes and people will leave here. It is all about business. It is about getting the right balance and getting people who are hungry and experienced.

"Hopefully I can shift this around so we can show some character like we did against Wolves when every one of them played for each other."

Sylla broke the deadlock from six yards when he converted a cross from Wszolek after 53 minutes.

Edwards drew Wolves level following Helder Costa's cross eight minutes later before Wszolek forced his way into the area and scored with a low shot.

Despite the defeat, Wolves boss Paul Lambert was not downhearted with his side's display.

"Sometimes I will come out here after a win or a loss and there are certain things that will niggle away at me but today I thought we were brilliant," said the former Scotland midfielder.

"It is as good as we have played in my time here.

"We dominated the game and I couldn't have asked for any more. I am proud of them.

"We were playing against a deep-lying side who are fighting for their lives. Compliments to QPR but for my own team I couldn't ask anymore."
