Erol QPR had 5 first team players injured.
Erol Bulut:
"It was perfect to have a win for the new year," the Bluebirds boss said. "The way we won, it was great. It was not the greatest game playing with the ball, the opponent had more from the ball, but we've been good behind the ball.“
“We had so many injuries I had to bring in Evans and Joel Colwill.”
"When I see how many injuries I have now. How many players have a sickness so they are not with us, in the offensive part I have limited possibilities. The team showed fighting spirit, winning spirit, some games are like that.”

"We train a lot for (set pieces), we make enough goals and I hope we continue like that. Sometimes, the offensive part of the game don't score, so then we have to count on our defenders and they are doing it well. We want our offensive part to create and finalise more, but we have limited possibilities for that."
Goutas looked visibly emotional after scoring the opener and made a gesture with his hands as Cardiff players rallied around him. Explaining the celebration, Bulut said: "His grandmother is not well in Greece. So, maybe the next days will be not good, so that's why he was in a bad mood. I wish for the family and for his grandmother all the best.
"She is in hospital. It's serious, but I don't know what it is."
