Davies sees bright future for Forest
Chris Cohen's 66th-minute header cancelled out Matteo Alberti's brace to earn Forest a draw at the City Ground after the visitors dominated the majority of the game despite falling behind to a Lewis McGugan penalty.[LNB]Davies said: "The remit when I came here was simple. This is a growing club. I'm working with young players and getting them to develop.[LNB]"Coming into a club that wants to grow from bottom to top and wants to develop young players, if we can get this right, in a year or two's time we can be a top, top side."[LNB]The former Derby boss added: "If we can keep everyone fit, in my mind we have the players to keep us where we are. If we can keep working away then it's a very bright future and one I am looking forward to."[LNB]Forest showed great endeavour throughout the game, despite being outplayed by a technically superior Rangers team and Davies was delighted with his players.[LNB]"How can I fault these players today? They were magnificent. They showed commitment to come back from 2-1 down and the work rate was second to none," he said.[LNB]"We are playing against clubs that are spending vast amounts of money and we're matching them back to front - I'm absolutely delighted."[LNB]QPR boss Paulo Sousa admits his side need to learn how to close out games after they squandered several good opportunities to claim the win. Mikele Leigertwood, Gavin Mahon, Samuel di Carmine and Wayne Routledge all had chances for Rangers, but they had to settle for a point.[LNB]"It is always disappointing when we don't score. The most difficult thing is to create and to close out the games. When you get opportunities you need to close the game out and we need this a little bit more, but it's coming," said Sousa.[LNB]"The second half was a big performance, with a lot of personality and playing some good football. We created, but we need to learn to score and close the game."[LNB]Sousa was unhappy with referee Darren Deadman for allowing Cohen's equaliser to stand after protests from goalkeeper Lee Camp that he was blocked as he came to claim Luke Chambers' cross.[LNB]"The referee made one big mistake. There was a block. When there is a block in the box it is normal to have a free-kick. The rest of what the referee did was fantastic."[LNB]Despite missing the opportunities to win the game, the Portuguese coach was delighted with the football his side played. "I think anyone who loves football will be delighted with what we have done, especially in the second half."[LNB][LNB]
