Cifuentes quizzed about Dykes' future after QPR draw

[Music] can I ask what your overall thoughts of the game well first of all I think that it feels a little bit like mixed feelings in the sense that only only getting one point from a game like this is not enough at the same time I'm happy about some parts of the performance um especially I will say the start of the game it was start brilliant not only because of the goal but previously we got a be a good chance with this smidi we put the kind of pressure that we want to put uh the games at home uh to create that momentum together with our supporters and unfortunately I think that after the goal slowly we start to I wouldn't say lose the control of the game but perhaps allowing playmouth to get too long in in the ball get too long possessions um we felt he got Hardy at the top which is a very good Striker when he has space to run him behind they got whaka that we know that he's he showed today that he's capable to to have a big influence on the scores with just a couple of things in the halftime obviously after they got the redka we we saw quite similar scenario than last season similar early red car a team that probably will feel encouraged by the fact that with 10 men they need to try something else and that was the case uh we adjust some things in the half time I think we attack much better especially the first 25 30 minutes of the second half created a lot of Chances The Keeper was outstanding and then of course every minute that that it goes it's more energy for for playmouth and that was the case I think the way we attacked the last 10 minutes 15 minutes was too emotional not the way we we should have attack and yeah uh feeling a little bit for disappointed about getting only one point he should haveen two kick I don't know I'm not a ref U I don't know I just saw that for me it was a not an easy game to to to ref for Gavin I think he yeah my opinion both red cars were clear um but yeah but I I'm not sure about this situation because it was very far from me Marty it feels a bit similar to after the West Brom game where you score the early goal and then maybe lose the initiative is that a bit of a concern at the moment it's an area to improve not concern because concern it will be when I look at the stats when I look at how how good football we play for some minutes uh there is no time to be concerned my concern will be we were not we were not looking as a team that knows how what he's trying to do and of course areas to improve but um yeah perhaps it's something that we need to as I said uh adjust it's a lot of new faces as well this is more half a second or second that you're a bit late on the pressure it's enough against some good players like Randall is a good player turning I think uh the other guy what was his name yeah for other midfielder did a good game in possession so when we need to adjust those small details it just take times about relations so today we started with K number 10 mats and and important role as a number eight um yeah it's about it's about making sure that those pieces GL together as soon as possible and why did you decide to change the two Strikers at half time basically because cooki was feeling very tired so um poo and yeah we felt that it was a good way against a 10 men to put a little more pressure inside the Box because we felt that that according to the way we wanted to attack the build of pH shouldn't be an issue and we tried to strike I think it worked really well uh for the first 20 25 minutes until MIT was completely exhausted and then unfortunately we lost a little bit of presence Inside the Box because that's his probably his best attribute I think he did a very good game uh but perhaps yeah this is more edges I think that that shows that we are uh working progress or a team that is developing and and in construction uh K I think that he will be very very good on these game scenarios against Low Blocks but unfortunately the 45 minutes we that USB TI uh the plan was for him to play perhaps 50 55 no more than that but we wanted to give as well a signal sometimes about about the energy and creating some some message both to your own team and to the position by bringing Zan in and and I think that we did well as I said until Cy as you know he was crumping from minute 18 he was so exhausted so stretching a b more minutes than what what we plan or what it was optimal and at the same time a little bit the same with um with niik n was at the end and I was talking to him and he was feeling of course long week with traveling with everything so um yeah I'm I'm satisfied but again areas that we need to slowly improve to make sure that yeah in a game like this we get the three points and it start to feel a bit Rush towards the end as well would you like to seen a bit more composure in that situation definitely I think I think it's a big mistake I think it's a big mistake and I get it because it's very emotional for a player when you're inside the pit and you see that you're getting chance chance after chance you want to go a little more straight you want to attack every ball and sometimes it's about making sure that that perhaps it takes a little bit longer but uh the reward will be bigger because not only about if you don't a score when you go too fast then transition is longer and and that opportunity to the position the case play more they got two Strikers first Harding the second half the guy that they just got yesterday but are really fast Runners and that if there a momentum in terms of stretching the pitch again regaining a little bit some time and so on and instead if you travel together first of all you have more quality situations to finish and second your transition is my chter so it's it's something that we definitely need improve and you decided to throw Nicholas Madson straight in why did you decide to start him straight away and what did you make of his performance because of because of the situation we were because of of what we think he can contribute to the team because of yeah injuries players available and so on at the end all this is a is a mix that that I try to take the best decision I like his performance I think that he's a player that showed today that he's a midfielder that can help us to break lines that can help us to attack with more quality that can connect as well with the Wingers that he has a good second line runs that he will give us goals and and chances from the second line and that he has a a very good technique as well in in his small spaces so I'm happy um after just two two training I think he did really well and no lynon at all today what can you tell us about that I just pick players based on availability and yeah so he he wasn't available wasn't available is there a reason why an injury he was not available and yeah I try to focus as well on the players that are in the beach that did good job I think today MIT had a very good game Zan had good chances that he cre almost by himself so I'm very happy to see that everybody's stepping up you expect Lyndon to be here this time next week I don't know yeah and obviously it's the last week of the transfer window expecting it to be busy I know you've managed to get a few over the last couple of weeks yeah I think that uh yeah it's a still open window for everybody so said many times the club knows what I think uh I think uh some players that have come in have been showing that that it was exactly what we needed and it's just about making sure that we maximize our opportunities in the next last days he looks like a very good player we're very happy that he's here um yeah he's this kind of player that I think that fits very well on qpr's history and tradition about the player that likes to be in the ball in possession that that is a constant threat for the position and I'm very satisfied by the way he's adapting so quick to our Concepts and and what we expect from him yeah I think that the club can confirm the details about about about this P okay thank you very much
