The 29-year-old has been in superb form since his deadline day move from Manchester City to west London.

Wright-Phillips' performances for the R's have already seen him linked with an England recall, although the winger is just happy to be playing regular first-team football again.

"I am loving it to be honest," he said. "I go home happy and I look forward to training now on Tuesday and the game again.

"You just know how to prepare yourself.

"Its not so much frustrating, its just that if you don't know when you are going to play, how do you focus on a game?

"That's part of football, though, and if you are going to be at a big club you have to deal with it.

"I had it at Chelsea and Man City and you know it's not about yourself, it's a team game.

"If you are hurting inside, you can't really show it because you want the team to do well because that's part of football.

"I was hurting inside because I am a footballer and I want to play but that's just the way it goes sometimes."

Wright-Phillips was one of a number of summer signings made by manager Neil Warnock, who are unbeaten since the close of the transfer window.

"We have played three games and I thought we gelled quite well for a team that has just come together," the player said.

"But obviously there is still a lot to be done and still stuff we are going to work on at the training ground."

Yesterday Wright-Phillips played in QPR's controversial 1-1 draw with Aston Villa at Loftus Road.

Richard Dunne's last-gasp own goal helped the 10-man R's grab a deserved point, having fallen behind to a Barry Bannan penalty after a soft-looking decision.

Alan Hutton then twice handled the ball in the box at the other end, meaning that referee Michael Oliver took much of the headlines.

"I wouldn't say I was frustrated by the referee's performance," Wright-Phillips said.

"When I was speaking to him, I just said to him 'people normally get second yellow cards for consistent fouling'.

"In this case, they have done five fouls outside the box within 10 minutes and there was not another card shown.

"Then Armand [Traore] does one, okay, it's a yellow card and a red for him but he gets booked straight away.

"If he doesn't get booked for a penalty that I don't think anybody saw, then he stays on the pitch."

Bannan stepped up and tucked away the resulting penalty and impressed throughout.

While Aston Villa manager Alex McLeish was quick to praise the diminutive midfielder, he admits he was upset with their first-half display.

"Bannan took about 40 minutes to get into the game, like everybody else," he said.

"Our touch and passing was very poor up until half-time and thankfully we got a grip in the second half.

"I've seen some players who excelled on the training ground doing the real thing, instead of leaving it all behind in the first half.

"Bannan claimed the penalty, I never pre-ordained who would take a penalty if we got one, but Barry was confident.

"You can see in the way he grabbed the ball that he was very confident he'd dispatch it."

Asked about Bannan's performance in particular, he added: "I don't want to put too much pressure on the young players.

"The expectations are a club like Villa is that we should be higher up the table, winning games.

"I will take the pressure off the young players.

"We have to try and make progress along the way, as steadily as possible.

"Barry has shown some bright moments in different positions."

Meanwhile, the Football Association today wrote to QPR for their observations about a tweet from new owner Tony Fernandes yesterday in which he branded Oliver "blind".

However, it is understood no further action will be taken against the club.
