QPR boss Neil Warnock concedes fellow Premier League new boys Norwich and Swansea may have adapted better. "I think you have to say Norwich and Swansea have adapted better because of their superior positions in the league.

"But I look overall and it has been a massive change around.

"The whole ball game changed when the new owners came in and we managed to get some new faces in. Not enough (faces), and we missed out on a couple right on deadline so we know we need to, as quickly as possible, get certain players in.

"We were hoping we could get away with certain positions but it is not happened like that. We have been punished."
