Stoke City boss Mark Hughes admitted frustration after their 2-2 draw at QPR.
Hughes was disappointed the visitors could not see out the match, Steven Nzonzi sidefooting a great chance to make it 3-1 wide following another quick counter.
He said: "In terms of what we produced and chances in open play, we were clearly the better team on the day.
"We should have had enough about us to see the game out, QPR looked like a team beaten at that point.
"Unfortunately we just encouraged them a bit and gave away a free-kick in a key position and with the technique like Kranjcar has, then he may well have the ability to score.
"But it is another point on the road, which was a struggle for us last season, so there is a positive, although the feeling is we did not get what we deserved."
