Intro:
Reaction after QPR lifted themselves off the bottom of the English Premier League table after emerging 3-2 victors over fellow strugglers Leicester on Saturday (November 29).
Script:
SOUNDBITE (English): Harry Redknapp, QPR manager
"Well, it was an open, attacking game, wasn't it? It was an excellent game I thought, with both teams going for it. It was ... you know, we went one down in the first five minutes and it was their first goal for a while. They are a dangerous team on the counter-attack. And I felt it would be ... we swarmed people forward but they were always dangerous on the counter. But I though that first half was as good as we have played. I thought we were excellent. (We) created lots of chances. They created one or two on the break but I thought we were very good."
SOUNDBITE (English): Nigel Pearson, Leicester City manager
(So if it was not the defence's fault, who was to blame for conceding the goals?)
"Players not tracking runners. Your defenders are not responsible for that. We have started the game well enough and created chances throughout. Really, it is a game we should have won in many ways. I am sure they feel they created a lot of good chances themselves. It was a game in which both sides tried to win. Unfortunately for us today, we didn't win it. But when you consider some of performances we have had of late where we have not been creative - what you could say about us today is that we were a bit wasteful at times. But it is was it is and I think the players ... I feel for the players today, because in terms of an attacking unit, I thought we were very good at times.
