Neil Warnock: Top of the Hill

QPR boss Neil Warnock hailed Clint Hill after the left-back finally broke Ipswich's resistance with the first goal in a 2-0 win at Loftus Road which keeps the Championship pace-setters five points clear of the chasing pack.

Hill broke the deadlock with 13 minutes to go, heading home Adel Taarabt's corner to net just his second goal for the club.

He was also involved in the second goal, swinging in a cross which was convered by Heidar Helguson just five minutes later.

"My wife wants my son William to grow up like Clint Hill, that's the biggest compliment I can pay him," said Warnock.

"He's a gem of a person. Every club should want someone like him around. And what about his dribble for the second goal? Turning the full-back? He hasn't done that since he was at school."

It was only a second defeat in eight league matches for Ipswich since Paul Jewell took over from Roy Keane, but he is still looking for more from his players.

"In the first half we were by far the better team," he said. "I can't fault the effort but we are lacking that killer instinct. Going forward do we want to score goals? Do we want it badly enough?

"When it really matters do they want to go that extra yard, to get a cut eye or a kick in the teeth, to score a goal?

"QPR are on a smashing run so I can't lambast the players. But if we want to be a serious team we've got to do it for 90 minutes."
