QPR 1, Leeds United 0

LEEDS United manager Steve Evans says he understands the frustration of his club's fans but insists he will turn things around if he is able to make signings when the transfer window reopens in January.

Evans was barracked by the travelling supporters and they again chanted for owner Massimo Cellino, who was at the Sky Bet Championship game, to sell up.

"It hurts – but they're entitled not to pull any punches as we were disappointing in every aspect of the team," said Evans.

"We can't be waiting until the last ten minutes to get the ball down and pass it and create chances. We're a long way short of where we need to be.

"This is a famous football club that has had world-class stars. It's a privilege to represent this club and we need to show work-rate and desire.

"I don't think we have that many good players and we certainly don't have many very good players at this level.

"But when I get tools in my toolbox, I'll be more than right to go to work. I'm convinced about that.

"When there's freedom to sign players permanently, I believe players will want to come to Leeds United.

"Liam Bridcutt turned down other clubs because he wanted to play for Leeds and others will feel the same."

Former Burnley striker Charlie Austin, who has been nursing a calf problem, scored with his first touch after coming on as a substitute.

Rangers struggled to create chances before Austin's 58th-minute header from Alejandro Faurlin's corner – his eighth goal of the season and his team's first in five matches.

Meanwhile, former Elland Road manager Neil Warnock says he has been given no indication of whether QPR's victory at Loftus Road is likely to be his final match in interim charge.

Rangers are keen to appoint a new head coach before Thursday's game at Reading, with Burton boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink the club's preferred choice.

"We're now looking forward to the Reading game but I can't tell you what will happen (before then)," said Warnock.

"I've not been involved in the process and I'm sure when there's something to tell me, the owners will do so. At the moment I'm just trying to get smiles on people's faces.

"The Championship is a unique league but I'm sure they'll have taken quite a lot of things into consideration when looking for someone."

Warnock, who gave a debut to 20-year-old winger Michael Petrasso, added: "We haven't got a lot of goals in the squad, we know that."
