Coleman bemoans missed chance

The League Two went out of the competition following a brave 2-1 defeat against the Championship side. Stanley held their own in a goalless first half before goals after the break from Hogan Ephraim and Wayne Routledge booked QPR's passage into the third round, with Michael Symes scoring a late consolation for Coleman's men. He said: "I'm proud of them, but the disappointing thing is that the two goals we conceded were avoidable. "We switched off, and when you give a lad like Routledge a chance he will take it. To be fair to him, that was a fantastic strike. "I do feel it was a chance lost. QPR were edgy. They've got good players and we didn't see the best of them, but credit to our lads. "When you play a team from a lower level, as much as you try to guard against complacency it is always there. We knew that and tried to take advantage."
