Redknapp wants Loftus Road fortress to continue as QPR welcome Swansea

Harry Redknapp has implored QPR to continue their strong home form when they host Swansea City on Thursday.

The 15th-placed R's have remarkably taken all of their 18 Premier League points at Loftus Road this season with a record of five wins, three draws and two defeats from 10 outings.

Redknapp's side have not recorded a single point from nine matches on the road but the R's manager is focusing on what he can achieve in west London when the Swans come to town on New Year's Day.

"It's been fantastic. We've been difficult to beat at home. Even the [Crystal] Palace game [which finished 0-0 on Sunday], it wasn't a classic but you have to keep clawing out results," Redknapp told reporters.

"It changes in the second half of the season. The first half we played all the teams in the bottom half but [now] we go away to all the teams in the bottom half."

On Garry Monk's Swansea, Redknapp added: "They're a good side. Garry's done a great job, he's carried on from where they were.

"They've had a few excellent young managers in the last few years and they've all gone on to do great things and he's another in that line. He's carried on the way they've played in the last five or six years."
