Joey Barton: 'Queens Park Rangers were the better side'

Queens Park Rangers midfielder Joey Barton believes that the team were the better side over the two legs of their Championship playoff against Wigan Athletic.

Joey Barton has said that Queens Park Rangers "slightly shaded" their Championship playoff semi-final against Wigan Athletic over the two legs.

Following a goalless first leg, the Hoops had to come from a goal down at Loftus Road this evening to secure a 2-1 win after extra time.

The midfielder told Sky Sports News: "We had a lot of pointers during the week about how hard it will be, credit to Wigan who caused us a lot of problems. Sad there has to be a loser because it would be a great final but we roll on, we dug deep and got a goal and over the two legs I we think slightly shaded it.

"We are building a group of men together, a band of brothers, It's been a slow process. The gaffer spotted that their diamond was causing us problems and we sorted it."

QPR will face Derby County in the final at Wembley later this month.
