QPR boss Hughes still learning about his players

QPR boss Mark Hughes admits he's still learning about his squad after defeat at Blackburn Rovers.

The result left the London club above the Barclays Premier League relegation zone on goal difference alone.

Former Rovers boss Hughes - appointed as successor to the sacked Neil Warnock at Loftus Road last month - said: "I think it is still a case of getting to know what I have to work with.

"I have possibly seen things here that I didn't realise, so obviously I can work on that with them.

"We have got a break now for two weeks, which will help us.

"I will have a chance to work with the guys and then we have two home games which are vitally important to us.

"We need to be fully prepared and understand what it takes to win Premier League games - in the first half I don't think we ever understood what we needed to do."
