QPR boss Neil Warnock is confident bouncing back from their 6-0 drubbing by Fulham.

Warnock admitted the result was a "wake-up call" and, while claiming unfortunate circumstances had an impact at Craven Cottage, pledged to respond against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.

"We are going to get a few drubbings this season, but we need the back four to be injury-free," he said.

"We have done well when we have had a steady back four, but it was decimated against Fulham.

"[Armand] Traore was suspended so Luke Young had to go left-back. Fitz Hall has been playing with a hamstring injury. Everything went wrong.

"It was like we were blase because we had done so well in the previous matches.

"We just thought it was going to be straightforward.

"It was bad enough to lose a goal after a few seconds, but we lost our discipline then. It was a good lesson.

"I have been able to work with all the players apart from Traore and [Adel] Taarabt during the international break.

"They were just disappointed with what happened but have stepped up training and want to make it up to the fans."
