Tony Pulis criticises his Stoke City side for failing to take their goalscoring chances against Queens Park Rangers.

Tony Pulis has admitted that he was left disappointed by his side's failure to turn dominance into goals against Queens Park Rangers earlier today.

The Potters created numerous opportunities at Loftus Road, but a combination of QPR's defenders and poor finishing saw Pulis's side draw a blank.

To make matters worse for Pulis, Djibril Cisse scored a late winner to boost QPR's chances of Premier League survival.

"The disappointing thing is right from the first whistle where [Cameron Jerome] has had a great chance," he told reporters. "When we've gone in there and we've put ourselves in really good positions, [but] we've not hit the target.

"I don't think we made the keeper make a save yet we created opportunities again today.

"If you sit down and have a look at it and analyse it there is about four or five chances where you'd expect us to score and like I say we didn't take those chances."

The loss has left Stoke 14th in the Premier League table.
