DANIEL Farke paid tribute to his Leeds United side after they beat struggling QPR in the perfect antidote to their disappointing midweek reverse at Millwall.
Farke’s promotion-chasing outfit had lost 1-0 at The Den on Wednesday but goals either side of half-time from Jayden Bogle and substitute Joel Piroe comfortably accounted for the Hoops.
The visitors slipped to the foot of the Championship after being left with just one league win in 15 games this season – but Farke admitted his men did not make it easy for themselves.
Although Bogle blasted home a 19th-minute opener, Leeds failed to make their dominance pay and it needed a smart leftfoot finish from Piroe in the fifth minute of added time to confirm the win.
Farke said: “I try to pretend to be cool and when we miss chance after chance I know how this league is and when it goes up six minutes added time and you say ‘for what?’
“But I can’t allow myself to be too nervous or bite my nails so I wanted to stay focused.
“In general I’m optimistic because I believe in my players but I always expect the worst.
