We knew how difficult today's game was going to be but I felt the players approached the match in the right way and as a team we were strong and competed well.
At times QPR played with great freedom in the final third and created a lot of problems, but overall our performance was very pleasing and that first win of the season always helps to settle the squad.
We deserved three points today but what was important was how we earned them.
In the build-up to the game there was much talk about the new players Neil Warnock has brought to his squad, and that can be the most dangerous time to play the opposition; all their players are out there with a point to prove as to how they can help the team and keep their place.
However, we handled their freedom very well, created chances that concluded with two outstanding finishes from Franco Di Santo - a just reward for the hard work he's put in over the last three games.
We showed patience which is very important at home; sometimes having grown in confidence throughout previous games you can go into a new game too eager to win.
We knew it was a must-win game and that can be difficult to approach, but Franco's first goal represented what we had to be - patient and confident.
There are certain players who have been working very hard on the pitch and in training who perhaps haven't had the rewards in games, but there was a real appreciation shown to all of them today from the fans and hopefully this is the platform for them to continue developing at Wigan Athletic.
We need to keep creating that environment at the DW Stadium which can be really hostile to visitors and inspire our players at the same time.
We've been working for around 20 months to find that consistency and stability in our play and now you can see there is a real desire to be on the pitch and play as a team.
All the ingredients are there to make what we have the ideal platform to build upon, and there is a set of players proud to play for Wigan Athletic hungry for success.
We always want to be better and improve, so we'll look back at games like Norwich and Swansea to understand why we didn't come away with maximum points and correct those fine points.
There are going to be difficult phases during the season when we'll need to have as many points as possible behind us, ready to stick together and come through as a group.

I'm so pleased with the effort that the lads put in. All you can ask is for them to do their best and with the team we had out today, I thought they were fantastic.
I can't ask for any more than that. If we'd have scored the first goal then we would have won the game. Both goals were going miles wide before taking deflections. The second one was worse than the first.
That's the difference between winning and getting nothing. Even with the team that we had out, I thought we were super.
We hit the crossbar and post three times and I thought we should have had a penalty. Apart from the last 35 minutes against Bolton, where we were a bit shell-shocked, I think we've been excellent.
It's Wigan's day today but we'll live and fight on.
