QPR go to Aston Villa on Saturday just four points behind their fourth-bottom hosts. "It is making us work harder each day to get ourselves out of the relegation zone. Everyone has the same motive - working hard as a team to get us out of the trouble.

"We are now looking forward to the next game and keeping the run going to get the points we need to lift us up the table.

"Saturday is going to be a six-pointer. Aston Villa are in the same position that we are in. It is going to be a scrap and a really important game.

"We are back in the fray. Back-to-back wins in the last two games have got us back into the race for survival. With our remaining fixtures we have a fighting chance to stay up.

"I've looked at the remaining fixtures and it is possible. We have a run of games that we can win. We have home fixtures we can win so I am trying to remain focused and work towards that goal."
