DOWIE: QPR NEED TO GET STUCK IN
Queens Park Rangers manager Iain Dowie admits the next three games are vital in
his side's push for promotion. The Hoops host Nottingham Forest, who are currently rock bottom of the table and yet to gain an away point this season, at Loftus Road on Saturday. And QPR’s following two games are away days at high-flying Swansea and Reading.
Dowie, who this week played down reports linking Terry Venables with his job,
knows there can be no slip up this afternoon but is wary of Forest’s pacy
attack, which includes Welsh international Robert Earnshaw.
"It’s going to be a really tough game," said Dowie, whose team sit 11th in the
table.
"They have spent some money - £2.65m on Earnshaw and £1.4m on Joe Garner - and
they have Nathan Tyson. They have really good pace up front.
"They have also bought in midfielder Lee Martin on loan from Manchester United.
We have Reading and Swansea away afterwards - both will be tough games too.
"But this league is like that. We have to make sure we are right. We are
looking forward to it and the lads should be a bit refreshed and get stuck in."
