Leeds United boss Steve Evans has criticised the display of his team in their 1-0 defeat to Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road.

Charlie Austin scored the only goal of the game in the second half to guide the R's to the three points in their Championship clash.

Evans maligned the majority of his team for their performance, with only debutant Liam Bridcutt, Charlie Taylor and keeper Marco Silvestri escaping condemnation.

He told the club's official website: "The reaction is obviously one of disappointment. I thought we were poor all over the pitch, although I would exclude Taylor and Bridcutt from that criticism and Silvestri, who did his job.

"But, for all of the ball that Queens Park Rangers had, the one chance in the first half fell to us.

"There's no doubt we should have equalised and maybe, dare I say it, nick the points. But it wasn't a good day all round and I cannot say I'm happy with that."

Leeds are 17th in the Championship, four points clear of the relegation zone.
