QPR 2-0 Hull
John Gregory's reign as QPR boss got off to a winning start as goals from Ray Jones and Dexter Blackstock earned a deserved win over struggling Hull.

Hull were under pressure but could have led if QPR keeper Paul Jones' had not saved from Michael Turner's header.

Rangers broke through on the hour as Jones tapped in his first league goal after being set up by Damion Stewart.

And Blackstock sealed the victory as he headed home after Lee Cook supplied a superb curling cross.


  • QPR boss John Gregory
    "At half past two I was thinking, 'What are you doing'? I knew nothing about Hull, other than they are a strong and powerful team.

    "I was pleased we stood up to them. The players will be feeling fantastic, but I'm feeling 10 times better than them.

    "Lots of the lads have given everything for the cause and if they keep doing that then I won't be able to complain."

  • Hull manager Phil Parkinson
    "We looked off the pace and when that happens you have to stick together and try to grind out a draw.

    "If we'd defended the first goal we could have come in with a draw.

    "But that's the first game for a while we haven't looked a goal threat. We didn't threaten the opposition goal enough to say we deserved anything."
