Blackburn Rovers veteran Jason Roberts says the strikers at QPR will love working for new gaffer Mark Hughes.

Roberts played for Hughes at Ewood Park and wrote in the Daily Mail: "As a striker, to work for Hughes was amazing. There were a few other clubs trying to sign me when I left Wigan in 2006, but he didn't need to be, and wasn't, a big salesman for the club. You are buying into the idea of working with somebody who was one of the best front men of his generation.

"He'd give you tips. For me it was about physicality, how to hold the ball, the way you back into a defender, and how to retain the ball from different positions. If you ever watched his tapes you'd know he was very physical, but there is a technique to it and he'd get that over."
