Mark Hughes says that Stephane Mbia will get better after making his QPR debut in the Capital One Cup defeat to Reading on Wednesday.

Queens Park Rangers manager Mark Hughes has no doubts that there is more to come from Stephane Mbia after he made his debut on Wednesday night.

The Cameroon international played the full 90 minutes as QPR threw away the lead twice to lose 3-2 to Reading at Loftus Road.

Mbia joined the club from Marseille on transfer deadline day, and Hughes insists that the 26-year-old will improve.

"I thought he did fine," said Hughes. "It was a different type of game from what he's used to but for the most part he looked strong and what a good player he will be for us.

"He hasn't played for a couple of weeks or had that many training sessions and I wasn't anticipating having to play him for the whole match.

"He came through it thankfully and will get better. It was a good test for him and he understands this is the type of games he will have to play in."
