Harry Redknapp happy with draw

Redknapp happy with draw

Harry Redknapp has said that he is happy with Queens Park Rangers' goalless draw in the first leg of their Championship playoff semi-final against Wigan Athletic.

The Latics created the majority of the chances in the first half before QPR upped their attacking efforts after the break, but neither side could break the deadlock.

The manager told Sky Sports News: "I'd take a draw for sure. It was two evenly balanced teams really, and it's all to play for still.

"You wouldn't like to pick a favourite. They're a good side and they're always going to be dangerous. They'll come to our place and be dangerous, so it's all to play for.

"We had to defend, we all did our jobs. It certainly wasn't a defensive-minded team, it was an attacking one. I didn't bring players on to shore it up, they were players who I thought could come on and maybe do something for us."

The teams play the second leg at Loftus Road on Monday.
