Nardi upbeat despite late QPR loss
The 30-year-old made a string of saves to keep the Sky Blues at bay, and looked set for an eighth Championship clean sheet of the season, before Bobby Thomas' stoppage-time goal.
"This morning we saw some positive things with the gaffer, so we don't have to see everything back," Nardi told BBC Radio London on Wednesday.
"I think we did some very good things but it (the loss) is football and we have to accept this."
The R's are currently 13th in the Championship table, four points of the play-off places.
Despite three defeats in their past four matches, Nardi says he is looking forward to Friday's home match against Derby County.
"It's the QPR mentality to fight for every ball, to fight in every game, and I think we have to continue in this way," he added.
"We already want it to be Friday. It is exciting even more to get back home. We want to play even more after a last-minute defeat. We want to go again."

Tom Brady snaps at Birmingham employee over ‘f–king stupid' David Beckham decision in new doc
Tom Brady made it clear that he would make significant changes when he became minority owner of Birmingham City in August 2023. The retired quarterback, 47, didn't hold back while calling the shots in front of English football legend David Beckham in Amazon Prime Video's docuseries 'Built in Birmingham: Brady & the Blues,' which drops Friday and follows Birmingham's promotion to the Championship last season. During the second of five episodes, Brady snapped at a Birmingham City aide before Birmingham's 3-1 victory over Wrexham, owned by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, in September, according to multiple U.K. outlets. 3 Tom Brady, minority owner of Birmingham City (L) with David Beckham to the Sky Bet League One match between Birmingham and Wrexham AFC at St Andrewâs at Knighthead Park on September 16, 2024 in Birmingham, England. Getty Images Brady wasn't happy over the aide suggesting that Beckham, who was Brady's guest at the U.K. clash, shouldn't receive a Birmingham gift bag due to Beckham's lack of affiliation with the team, having only played for Manchester United while he was in England. 'That's f–king stupid,' Brady said. 'Give him a gift bag to take home. It's a sweet thing. He doesn't have to wear it.' Prior to the match, seven-time Super Bowl champion Brady was seen telling Birmingham City co-owner Tom Wagner that they should gift Beckham with goodies from the club, including a sweater, hoodie, a scarf and a hat. Elsewhere in the five-part docuseries, Brady discussed potential changes he wanted to make in order to shift the losing culture of the club. He said he was 'a little worried' about former manager Wayne Rooney's 'work ethic' — and called some of the team from the 2023-24 season 'lazy and entitled.' 3 Tom Brady minority owner of Birmingham City and Chairman Tom Wagner ahead of the Sky Bet League One match against Wrexham AFC at St Andrewâs at Knighthead Park on September 16, 2024 in Birmingham, England. Getty Images 'Well, we've already changed the coach, so it's really the players because the coach doesn't go out there and put the ball in the goal,' Brady said after Birmingham's relegation in his first season with the club. 'They were lazy, they were entitled and when you're lazy and entitled, you don't have much of a chance to succeed. We've got to change all the people that are associated with losing, so I think this summer there's going to be a lot of people gone.' 3 Birmingham City co-owner Tom Brady (centre), CEO Garry Cook (left) and director Matt Alvarez (right) in the stands before the Sky Bet Championship match at St. Andrew's, Birmingham on August 12, 2023. Both Birmingham and Wrexham went on to receive automatic promotion to the Championship last season. The Blues secured the title with an English Football League record of 111 points. Wrexham finished second with 92 points. Birmingham begins their season at home against Ipswich Town on Aug. 8.

Leeds United have Bilal El Khannouss on their radar
Leeds United held a meeting with the representatives of Leicester City attacker Bilal El Khannouss yesterday, according to Sky Sports Switzerland journalist Sacha Tavolieri. Leeds made it clear they are ready to pay his £24.5 million release clause to bring him to the Elland Road club this summer. The Whites have missed out on Feyenoord attacker Igor Paixao to Marseille, and they have now moved on to El Khannouss. The 21-year-old Belgian-Moroccan played in 32 Premier League games last term, weighing in with two goals and three assists, and Leeds could do with his quality and experience as they prepare for life back in the Premier League. He is expected to leave Leicester after they got relegated to the Championship, and he wants to remain in the English top-flight, with the Whites offering him an opportunity.
