Hart frustrated with sloppy defending

QPR boss Paul Hart blasted his side's defending after they tumbled out of the FA Cup with a 3-2 defeat by Sheffield United. Lee Williamson, Jamie Ward and Richard Cresswell netted to give the Blades a comfortable 3-0 lead, before Akos Buzsaky's penalty and a goal from Damion Stewart set up a tense finish. The Rs almost took the game into extra time late on but Antonio German was denied by a point-blank save from United goalkeeper Mark Bunn. Hart said: "The way we started the second half was a disaster. "We've gone 15 games without a clean sheet and you can see why. That is a side of our game that has to improve. "It was a very spirited comeback but it was too little, too late."
