Press news in...

Dean Smith's QPR press conference is coming up at 9am.
----------------------------------------------------------------

DS on Sarge: "Not for tomorrow. We're more than hopeful for him and Giannoulis on Saturday."

DS on Kenny McLean’s return: "It’s good to have Kenny back. Three games in a week was tough for Isaac Hayden."

DS reflection on Stoke: "I thought we won the ball back really well, so our pressing structure was good,but we didn't connect the passes well, often times trying the killer pass. Sometimes if it's not on, we need to connect it a little bit better. . We were really good in the last 20 minutes. I was gutted that Jordan Hugill didn’t get his goal."

DS on QPR: "They’ve made a good start. They are having a good season so far. Shakey went to watch them at Luton and we both watched them against Birmingham on Friday night. They’ve got players who can hurt teams."

DS on Bali Mumba’s goal last night: "I did see it yeah. I also saw their first goal as well where he got caught out. He scored a really good goal and his celebrations are getting better. He's benefitted from playing games. He's gone to a team that are top of the league and he's been a big part of that."

DS on Springett, Rowe etc: "Yeah. We will have a look at our squad in January and see if it’s best for their development to sanction loan moves."

DS on Adam Idah: "Adam Idah should hopefully be back after the World Cup break and a plethora of left-backs too."

DS on players out of contract: "No talks have been ongoing yet. Secondly, I don’t think it will be a distraction to them."

DS on Todd Cantwell: "I saw a bit of anger in his performance. He wanted to show what he was about. He was unlucky not to have an assist. That’s what we want from him.”

DS on Max Aarons: "He was fit to play against Stoke. It was purely selection based. He hasn’t been at the peak of his form, but he’ll work hard to get that back. He’s still only 22 years old. He hasn’t experienced lots in his career yet."
