Warnock was not happy with his side's defending against City

QPR boss Neil Warnock blamed "schoolboy defending" for the late goal that earned Bristol City a 2-2 draw.

The point moved QPR five points clear at the top of the Championship table, but Warnock said: "After the effort we put in, that was a disgrace.

"Clint [Hill] still doesn't know what he was doing for the first goal and Kaspars Gorkss was five yards away from the player who scored the second.

"If my son had done the same thing I'd have given him a rollicking."

Steven Caulker was City's hero with the stoppage-time leveller, nodding in Jamal Campbell-Ryce's cross.

Brett Pitman had put the Robins in front on 50 minutes only for Alejandro Faurlin to restore parity.

It looked as though Adel Taarabt's 85th-minute penalty would earn QPR another precious victory but it was not to be.

"City are not a bad side but I thought we were superb," added Warnock. "They were hanging on by their fingernails and we helped them with a few misses.

"And then we made two schoolboy errors at the back which is unlike us this season."

City boss Keith Millen, however, felt Caulker's late intervention was no more than his side deserved, saying: "I think we deserved it, if only for the work-rate, commitment and desire to defend.

"It would have been harsh not to come away with something even though QPR bossed the game in open play."
