MARTI Cifuentes warned it’s “not job done” just yet after after Queens Park Rangers hit the 50-point mark in the Championship with their 1-0 win over Preston North End at Loftus Road.
Lyndon Dykes scored the only goal after goalkeeper Freddie Woodman spilled a cross into his path.
The R’s are six points above the relegation zone but Sheffield Wednesday, who are 23rd on the same number of points as Huddersfield Town, have a game in hand.
“Right now it looks like a big step forward. But whatever happens in the next games, I think the kind of mindset – the winning culture we need in this club – means that we are going to try to keep winning until the end of the season,” Cifuentes said.
“My mindset is that of course today we took a big step forward in the right direction but until the job is done it’s not done, so we need to make sure that we go into the last two games all-in.
“I’m going to sleep pretty well, that’s for sure. But until the job is done, it’s not done.
“I’m very happy for the guys. It was a difficult game with a lot of pressure and we responded.
“We had to win this game. The focus was excellent and I’m very proud of the guys.”
It was only Dykes’ fifth league goal of the season and first in sixteen games.
Cifuentes said: “I’m very happy for Lyndon. Today he had one of his best games of the season, if not the best.
“He showed character and personality. Sometimes football is about passion and I think all the guys showed a lot of passion.
“We’ve been talking about the need for ugly goals and he was in the right place at the right time.”
QPR host Leeds United next Friday.
