More woe for Hasselbaink as QPR crash

Hasselbaink's side looked to have rescued a point at Loftus Road when Sebastian Polter's 86th minute header cancelled out Abel Hernandez's 61st minute opener.

But a mix-up between QPR defender Grant Hall and goalkeeper Rob Green in stoppage-time proved decisive as the pair collided while trying to clear Sam Clucas' cross and the ball rebounded off substitute Adama Diomande and into the net.

QPR find themselves 15th in the English second tier table six matches into Hasselbaink's reign, while Hull moved into third place after Brighton were beaten 1-0 by Wolves earlier on Friday.

Hasselbaink, who arrived from Burton as replacement for the sacked Chris Ramsey, insisted he wasn't feeling the pressure of seeking his first win.

"I'm not even thinking of that and we shouldn't even be thinking about promotion," the former Netherlands striker said.

"We should just be thinking about improving the team. Everybody is thinking about the outcome, but we need to get other things right first.

"Of course it's frustrating, but believe it or not that (getting the first win) is not the focus.

"If you are going to focus on win, win, win, you are not going to get the game right, and you have to get the game right to win".
