Swansea City still have much work to do after 3-0 defeat to Queens Park Rangers says manager Brendan Rodgers Even in the first half up until the goal, I thought we were too slow and loose with the ball and we have given away a poor goal right on half-time. When you come to a team that are needing the points as well it's a poor goal to give away. The second half was disappointing, too. Overall, we never deserved anything from the game. While Swansea are left nursing another defeat, QPR's victory gives them a two-point cushion over the relegation zone. QPR manager Mark Hughes is buoyed by the way his side are performing, especially defensively after ending a 23-game wait for a clean sheet. "I thought we were excellent from start to finish," the Welshman said. I think it was important we understood what was important as Swansea are a very accomplished side and have a certain way of playing. You have to have a real belief and understanding of what is required to stop them dominating possession and dominating the game. Obviously we worked on that all week, which is fine but the guys have to go out there and perform and actually make it happen. That is exactly what we did from start to finish and I thought we frustrated Swansea and when we broke and got the ball in good areas we were a real threat. I have to say to a man we were excellent. We haven't been able to get clean sheets and it was significant that tonight we were able to do that. I think the fact we have a bit of continuity with the back five has helped and all in all it was a very satisfying performance. It was a fully-deserved win and we were never really in danger of not winning this game.
