I’ve never thought of it that way ?
“When we played against Bournemouth and Watford we showed what we can do,” Warburton said.
“Those games were very tight but you saw us create numerous chances.
“We are full of respect for Steve Cooper and his team, they are in a very strong position in the league, they have very talented players and are an expensively-assembled squad as well.
“We will have to be prepared, we will have to do our jobs and be diligent in our responsibilities, but also play. We have to make sure we go out there and play.”
The run of nine matches in 28 days came to an end with last weekend’s 1-1 draw at Wycombe, and the gaffer is honest in his assessment of that period which yielded seven points.
“There have been highs and lows but the biggest low is we didn’t take the points from games that you have to take,” he said.
“There were some good performances without getting the rewards, hence the frustration again.
“The underlying thought is we are in a difficult league position because we haven’t taken the points from games where we have played some very good football and created a lot of chances, but the game is about goals.”
Warburton has made the most of no mid-week fixture this week and believes the extra time with the players at Harlington has been invaluable.
“It really has been beneficial,” he said. “It sounds ludicrous to suggest two extra days is so helpful but it really is.
“It allows the boys to recover and it allows us time to do work on the training pitch which we have not had for a long period of time, so you can do pattern work, shape and individual work which is really pleasing.”
Lee Wallace and Ossie Kakay remain unavailable for Saturday’s fixture. Wallace is expected to be sidelined for a further week, while Kakay is likely to be missing for a fortnight.

Maybe not but the bloke making the quote is the QPR manager, who I believe have. |  |

Warburrton may have out bid Swansea for a number of players in recent months if media speculation is to be believed. Dickie, Dykes , Bonne and the young fellow Kelman. |  |

Maybe not outbidded financially but the draw of London is irresistible to some players (and/of their families). | | | |

He's probably annoyed that we've taken Bidwell and Manning off them in recent times for a pittance. |  |
