QPR manager Julien Stephan defended their seven-game winless away run in the Championship following their goalless draw with Charlton at The Valley.

Rangers missed the chance to move closer to the play-offs, but Stephan preferred to concentrate on their third successive clean sheet on the road.

The Frenchman told BBC Radio London: "It was two different halves. The first half, too shy in between with the first line of pressure, not enough intensity, so they used a lot of long balls. So, except for the first five or 10 minutes, the first half was not good enough.

"But we showed a strong reaction in the second half, strong reaction. I think we fixed a couple of problems during half-time in the dressing room and the players did very well.

"When we had the ball, we had some good movements. We had probably the best situations, especially at the end of the game. But we have to have more efficiency in this kind of game if we want to win and transform a draw into a win because I think in the second half, we had enough to win this game.

"It's a third draw in a row for us away, a third clean sheet in a row as well away. Unfortunately, it's the third game as well without a goal scored, but if we can win at home and draw away, then that's not too bad."
