There are now 13 games left for each team this Season . QPR in their last 13 Premiership games have drawn 3,
Lost 9 and won just 1 game which was home to Wigan.
There is now a 7 point gap between the bottom 5 clubs (Blackburn,Bolton ,Wigan Wolves and QPR ) to Villa in 6th from bottom...so its highly likely that 3 of those 5 teams will go down.
QPRs next 3 matches are seemingly the easier fixtures ,thats if you can call Fulham & Everton at home & Bolton away easy , however Cisse is banned for 2 of these . After that they have a very difficult 10 game run through until the end of the season , in which they face all the top teams and play none of the bottom 6 . Compare that to the other teams at the bottom and they appear to have the hardest remaining fixtures.
They have a great manager in Mark Hughes, and " when " in the mood good players in Zamora ,Cisse ,Barton and Taarabat , but they also have plenty of average ,non premier league standard players too. They lack cohesion and their heads seem to drop too easily when the chips are down. I appreciate the other 4 teams at the bottom are" not much better", but they seem to have a lot more fight & spirit in them, so when you scrutinise & see how difficult the remaining fixtures are for QPR "not much better" will be enough to banish them to the championship.
For these reasons ....plus their terrible defence, poor form ,run in fixtures, and the very fact it appears to be 3 teams from 5 that will go down I cant see QPR staying up so ....
The 6-4 still on offer to be relegated still seems very big .http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/relegation Remaining Fixtures
