Clough stunned by late goals

Derby manager Nigel Clough was left to rue a dramatic late finish which cost his side victory against QPR. The Rams were 2-0 up heading into time added on courtesy of goals from Kris Commons and James Bailey, but late goals from Patrick Agyemang and Jamie Mackie stunned the Pride Park faithful. Clough the result was harsh on his players, with the Rams without a win since the opening day of the season. He said: "It's frustrating. We played so well for so long and then we got punished at the end but that's been the story of the last three league games. "There have been three good performances but we've not quite got our reward for them. We always felt that if the first one goes in it changes the game. If you don't concede it doesn't give them the inspiration to throw everything forward and then anything can happen. "I thought that we should have finished it off and made it 3-1 in stoppage time but at the moment, we can't finish games off and we can't quite hang on at the other end."
