Plymouth director of football Neil Dewsnip praised his side for their “never say die” attitude after claiming a late leveller in a 1-1 Championship draw with relegation-rivals QPR.
Albert Adomah scored an 85th-minute own goal as Argyle piled on the pressure from a later corner after Sam Field had fired Rangers into a 73rd-minute lead following a goalmouth scramble in which home goalkeeper Michael Cooper made two incredible saves.
Dewsnip said: “When QPR scored, the team had to show incredible resilience. ‘Never say die’ is a part of the culture here. The team were superb and the fans fantastic.”
Managerless Argyle slipped to 20th as a result to sit just two points above the relegation zone, but Dewsnip said: “We see it as a point gained at home not an opportunity missed as that’s now four points in two games.
“It means momentum is changing and we go again on Friday. I like to look forward so hopefully we will score more than one on Friday.
“We will look forward rather than backwards. I see the point as a positive point, we are going the right direction again.
“Michael (Cooper) has been injured but he is getting sharper game by game and made some superb saves again tonight, as he did at Rotherham.
“All the players were superb tonight. Michael had a fantastic game, Adam Randell did, Dan Scarr, Lewis Gibson but I could go on and on and name every one of them because I thought they all played their part in a tremendous performance.
“Friday night against Leicester is huge. The players will recover now and then we all go again on Friday.”
QPR head coach Marti Cifuentes – whose side hover four points above the bottom three – said: “It was disappointing not to win as we did enough to win the game. We needed to score a second (goal).
“That’s always going to be the target at 1-0. We not only created chances to win the game but enough to close the game out.
“I have mentioned this not once, not twice that unfortunately, it’s something we have experienced many times this season.
“And then you know if the opposition get a half-chance in this type of situation they will score and that’s exactly what happened.
“For us today it was important for us to react in a strong way after losing and I am delighted to say that’s what we did.
“After we scored we kept pushing hard for a second and I know if we carry on playing this way we are going to win football matches.
“I don’t usually look at the table. Tonight it was about the last five games.
“Now we have four games left and I want to win all of them. We need to keep on pushing, we need more points.
“Our focus is on the next game and we know that Hull will be difficult because they are chasing the play-offs but there are no easy games in this division.
“We have to make sure that collectively we recover from this one and be well prepared to go again.”
