Warnock finds silver lining

10 December 2010 23:30
Neil Warnock has put his shorts away until the spring after his QPR side lost their unbeaten npower Championship record against Watford. A brace from Danny Graham, either side of Jordon Mutch's fortuitous strike, secured a surprise 3-1 win for the Hornets as Rangers blew the chance to go seven points clear at the top. There was a silver lining for Warnock, though, after he promised his players early in the season he would continue to wear shorts until they lost their first league game. The 62-year-old probably did not envisage he would still be bare-legged in mid-December, some 19 matches later. But he can finally pack some winter trousers after watching Watford tear his side apart in front of the TV cameras at Loftus Road. "Thank God - I can have my long johns under my tracksuit now for the winter," said Warnock. "It was obviously disappointing. But if you'd told me we'd have got to December unbeaten I wouldn't have believed you."
