Speaking to the club’s official website, Queens Park Rangers manager Mark Warburton has said that he feels his side are capable of more, as they sit near the play-off spots heading into this weekend’s game against Fulham.
QPR currently sit in 10th place in the Championship, four points away from 6th placed Bristol City after 16 games. Mark Warburton’s side have shown they can be dangerous in the early stages of the season but with no wins in their last four games, the R’s will be hoping they can bounce back upon their return to action after the international break.
This weekend, QPR face fellow London side Fulham at Craven Cottage, and manager Warburton is hoping to see more from his side as he hopes to build some consistency in their fight for a spot in the Championship play-offs. The 57-year-old said:
“The league is so tough, there is no-one breaking away. Look, we have taken two points from our last 12 and are right in it. It’s about being consistent. Any team that can win four out of six, or three out of five with a draw, is going to be in good shape.
“I think we are capable of more – we have shown we are capable of more. We have missed chances, we have made some individual errors but we are a team and we win and lose together. There is no doubting the quality in the dressing room. There is a good mix of youth and experience, and I think we can put our head down and get some good results together.”
Waburton then went on to discuss Fulham ahead of this weekend’s game, saying that they need to be wary of the quality Scott Parker’s side possesses, even with star striker Aleksandar Mitrovic out through suspension.
“Everyone knows they are a very talented squad. Yes, they are missing Mitrovic (suspended) so we presume it will be Reid or Kamara to come in. You look at Knockaert, Cavaleiro, Cairney, Johansen, they are a very, very talented team.
“Given time and space they will hurt any opponent. What we have to do is deny them what they want and make sure we impose ourselves on the game because we have the quality as well.
“We respect them but it’s about QPR, it has to be. It has to be about what we do really well. We will have to challenge ourselves but I am looking forward to a really good fixture.”
