Preview: QPR – Town


By Aston
February 9 2010

Town travel to Loftus Road tonight, looking to move away from the relegation zone with a win against QPR. The home side will be without Tamas Priskin, who is on-loan from Town. They will also be missing Mikele Leigertwood and Peter Ramage, who are both suspended.

Town will be missing just the long term injured, Richard Wright and Luca Civelli.

Town manager Roy Keane: "It's a good test for us, but that's what life is all about, that's why you've got to have faith and trust in the players.

"I'm going to find out a lot over the next few weeks, whether it be about my players, coaching staff, the supporters or myself as a manager.

"We have good players, but what we'll find out over the next couple of weeks won't be about good players; it will be about good characters.

"But I'm looking forward to it, because there's nothing to fear out there. We'll have to see where that takes us.

"It will be an interesting next few weeks ahead, but we will roll up our sleeves," continued Keane.

"The last two away performances haven't been great, at Southampton and Preston. Three of the four teams we're playing are down near the bottom, like ourselves, so it's an important period for the players and the club.

"We've thrown away the chance of winning games several times this season, but this is now another opportunity. It's a good test for the players coming up.

"The fans have been brilliant. They've been right behind us and we want to try and get some results for them. It will turn,"
