The QPR assistant manager Mark Bowen has said that he wants the QPR players to get angry about the current league position, which he hopes that will turn around the season for the struggling London team.

Despite spending a lot of money on several high profile players like Park Ji sung and José Bosingwa, QPR have found it difficult to get the first win of the season under the manager Mark Hughes. The former Manchester city and Fulham manager has come under intense pressure, and he is not expected to last long in the job if results do not improve before Christmas.

Even though he has had the public backing of the owner Tony Fernandes, it is seriously thought that the Malaysian is considering other replacements if results do not improve. As a result of the winless run that now stretches to 10 games, QPR find themselves just one place above the bottom of the table. They were not expected to be in a relegation fight let alone just one place above the bottom of the table. The QPR manager Mark Hughes has said that it would be a catastrophe if the club were to go down, but he would do anything to prevent that from happening.

“They held their hands up and took it on board and we will work at it to make sure we are better next time. We encouraged them to point a few fingers and put demands on them. I want them to be a bit more angry and demanding of each other. People talk about Harry Redknapp and this and that. The fact is he took over Southampton in 2005 as the big saviour and he took them down,” said the QPR assistant manager ahead of this weekend’s encounter with Stoke city, who are the draw specialists.

QPR manager Mark Hughes has moved swiftly to forget the memories of the bad 5-0 loss on the opening day of the season at the hands of Swansea by bringing in the Real Madrid defender Ricardo Carvalho on a season-long loan deal. The former Chelsea defender is recognised as one of the best defenders in the world, but he has grown frustrated with life at the Santiago Bernabeu due to the lack of first-team opportunities. It is expected that the Portuguese international will now make the move to Loftus Road once he had his medical and agrees to the personal terms.

The 34-year-old former Portuguese international may not be at the peak of his career, but he will provide QPR with valuable experience at the back. He will be joined by the former Chelsea defender José Bosingwa, who has signed for the club on a free transfer after being released by Chelsea at the end of last season. QPR are also looking to bring in the Tottenham defender Michael Dawson. They have had a £ 7.5 million bid for the 28-year-old accepted recently. This fee could rise to up to £ 10 million depending upon the performances of the player at Loftus Road.

“If you’re not careful it can be embarrassing if you’re two or three behind and you’re chasing the game. It was certainly that. A number of individuals did OK but the team performance was nowhere near where it needed to be. You can make all the excuses you want, but it doesn’t wash with me. It’s unacceptable and highlights there are players who are not where they need to be,” said Mark Hughes after the 5-0 defeat at the hands of Swansea. QPR were extremely poor in the match, despite spending a lot of money in the summer transfer window.

QPR have been dealt a massive blow with the news that their star midfielder Kieron Dyer has been ruled out for the rest of the season. Kieron Dyer has a number of injury problems during the course of his career, but it has become extremely bad of late. Kieron Dyer missed a large portion of the last few years with various niggling problems, which have continued into this QPR career as well. The latest injury is relating to the foot problem he has been suffering of late, and QPR have confirmed that the midfielder will be undergoing surgery.

Kieron Dyer made his first start for the club on the opening game of the season, and got injured almost immediately. Since then, he has not played for QPR. Of course, QPR manager Neil Warnock would have known in the first place that signing Kieron Dyer would be a massive gamble because of this injury problems, but he would have been hoping to extract at least a few more games from the midfielder. Despite his injury problems, Dyer is known to excel when fully fit and he would have been a massive boost for QPR in their efforts to stay in the Premier League this season.

“This is a devastating blow for Kieron. I have never met a more determined pro in my career, and he really doesn’t deserve this. The specialist said he thought Kieron could return before Christmas without the need for an operation and is disappointed that this is not the case, and he has no alternative now but to operate,” manager Neil Warnock said with regard to the surgery he is set to undergo in the next few days. Dyer had signed a one-year contract with the club in the summer and it is not known whether the club will extend it or not.
