Town manager Jim Magilton: “We need our players to stand up to the occasion and go at the opposition from the start. We need to get a foothold in the game and not play catch-up as we have been doing in recent weeks.

 

“I know that we have got to start winning games soon and I am sure that this will come and that we will finish nearer halfway than in the bottom three.

 

“It is a big game and people will be putting extra pressure on us to get a result.

 

“But we have belief and we will stand by our principles but it is important that we do gain success against the sides below us.”

 

QPR will be missing their leading scorer, Dexter Blackstock who is suspended while Marcus Bignot and Marc Bircham.

 

QPR manager John Gregory: no pre-match thoughts currently available.
