MCCLAREN HAILS LOAN SIGNINGS


27/08/18

Steve McClaren hailed the impact of Tomer Hemed and Nahki Wells after the on-loan strikers helped QPR claim their first points of the season.

Rangers, severely hampered by Financial Fair Play restrictions and beaten in all four of McClaren’s previous Sky Bet Championship games in charge, defeated Wigan 1-0 at Loftus Road courtesy of Hemed’s 35th-minute winner.

The pair both made lively debuts and McClaren said: “It made a huge difference. We had no money to buy and have been praying for the [transfer] window to end and the loan market to open, because that’s all we can take.

“This week has been tough, but once they came in on Thursday you could see the belief in the players grow that we are moving forward and making signings."

He needed that win on Saturday,and a clean sheet - At last .
