Neil Warnock still expecting 'twists and turns' in Championship race

11 April 2012

QPR manager Neil Warnock refused to get carried away after his side's seemingly unstoppable march towards the Barclays Premier League continued with a 1-0 win at Doncaster.

Hogan Ephraim struck the only goal two minutes after the break as Rangers extended their advantage at the npower Championship summit to nine points, but Warnock was not taking promotion for granted.

"I'd love to win the next five games and wrap it all up but I'm sure there will be a few twists and turns before the end of the season."

He added: "Doncaster had their moments but we kept on the front foot as much as we could and I couldn't have asked for more."

Second-placed Norwich slipped nine points behind the leaders as they were held to a 1-1 draw at Hull.

Nick Barmby cancelled out Zak Whitbread's 27th-minute header to snatch Hull a point midway through the second half, but Canaries boss Paul Lambert declared himself pleased with the point.

"I'm delighted with how we played in a very open game, and we had some good breaks in the second half," he said.

"Hull is a very hard place to come and their form has been terrific, but we gave as good as we got. It's an away game for us and to pick up a point away from home could be massive. We have to try to win our home games and pick up points away from home."

Swansea are a point behind Norwich after on-loan Chelsea striker Fabio Borini bagged a brace on his debut in their 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest.

After coolly opening his Swans account from close range shortly after the impressive Scott Sinclair had opened the scoring, man-of-the-match Borini capped a debut to remember with a simple second just before the hour mark.
