Neil Warnock is hoping Queens Park Rangers will not be forced to rely so heavily on loan signings next season. The Championship outfit currently have six players on short-term deals, but can only field five at any one time.

Adel Taarabt, Jay Simpson, Matt Hill, Marcus Bent, Tamas Priskin and Dusko Tosic have all been drafted in from other clubs to help out and have figured prominently for the club this season.

Warnock said: "I would be very surprised if I've got more than one loan player at any time next season. Very surprised.

"It means I won't have done my job properly or been a little bit unlucky in the summer because I don't want loan players."
