Conditions 'really difficult' - Stephan

QPR head coach Julien Stephan felt his side battled hard in the wind and rain at the Kassam Stadium during their 0-0 draw at Oxford.

"[The conditions] were really difficult for the players," he told BBC Radio London.

"For me, it's the worst thing to play with wind. That's why I want to highlight the mentality of the players. They never gave up and wanted to have another clean sheet, the third one in four games.

"It's part of consistency. It's a good sign of improvement for these players because we struggled in the first part of the season, away, especially in November and December.

"The only disappointment is not creating more danger in the penalty area. We prepared the situation well, we had good ideas to create the momentum, but we need just a little bit more quality in the last pass and the last move in the penalty area."

He added that 19-year-old Esquerdinha, who was stretchered off in the second half, will have a scan, but added: "It was not too bad for him".
