Neil Warnock

Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock felt the goalless draw with QPR was a just result.

The only bright point from this lacklustre contest came just before the break when QPR manager Paulo Sousa reacted angrily to Claude Davis' challenge on striker Samuel Di Carmine and was sent to the stands.

And Warnock said: "I told him to calm down a bit. To be fair he didn't do much - he was concerned about his lad who had blood coming out of his nose. If he wants me to speak for him I will do - I know everyone on the commission.

"The pitch was not very good, the first job they should do is get a new one, no matter how many millions you spend on players.

"If we were a bit more clinical we might have finished it off but a draw was probably a fair result."

Sousa added: "I can't understand when a manager is looking out for his player, I care about my players and I went to see him, and I am sent to the stands.

"I said nothing to the referee, I was going to see my player. I think it was because I went out of my area."
