Stephan’s QPR side have won four of their last six games
QPR boss Julien Stephan hailed his team’s ‘positive momentum’ after they overturned a half-time deficit to win 2-1 at Bristol City and stretch their unbeaten run to six games.
Rangers trailed at the interval to an Emil Riis header, but Harvey Vale set up Richard Kone to smash in the equaliser before substitute Paul Smyth headed the decisive goal six minutes from time.
“It’s six games unbeaten – I hope we will continue after the international break,” Stephan told BBC London 94.9. “When you win two, three games, the confidence increases and you can create positive momentum.”
“I’m very happy for the fans and the players because they deserved this win. They started the game well, the first 20 to 25 minutes we had our chances.
“Mentally after the goal the last 15 minutes [of the first half] were more difficult but there was a big reaction and they did a great second-half with character, intensity and good energy and quality with the ball.
“The starters and also the lads who came on the pitch in the second half did very well. Defensively we are able to reduce the danger from the opponents, the structure of the team is good. It’s not only the defenders, it’s the whole team.”
Stephan: ‘The players deserve this!’
