BBC - QPR winger Hogan Ephraim targets promotion
- Queens Park Rangers midfielder Hogan Ephraim is confident the squad has the quality for promotion this season.
- The winger had a hand in all three goals, including scoring the opener in the weekend win over Sheffield United.
- Ephraim told BBC London 94.9: "We won't get carried away, we hope to stay in the pack and by the end of the season we can push up and onwards.
- "There are no teams like West Brom or Newcastle last year, so no-one's going to run away with it."
- He added: "We have expectations of ourselves, the players and the manager all want to be in the Premier League."
- Neil's come in and done that brilliantly and long may it continue
- QPR midfielder Hogan Ephraim on manager Neil Warnock
The former West Ham trainee has praised the influence of boss Neil Warnock and the added stability he has brought to the club.
- "He's come in and done well, he's got his own ideas and its worked well," said Ephraim.
- "It's helped the players because nobody likes a change of manager every two weeks.
- "We have a lot of young players in the squad and that affects them and they sometimes need an arm around them and often need to be taught the hard way.
- "Neil's come in and done that brilliantly and long may it continue."
- Rangers next game is against Scunthorpe on Saturday and with expectations high for another win, Ephraim warns that it is probably their hardest fixture of the campaign so far.
- "The fans will be expecting us to roll them over, but we would take a scrappy 1-0 win." BBC

Fulham Chronicle/Paul Warburton - QPR boss sends Martin Rowlands warning
- MARTIN Rowlands will return to action for the first time in 10 months tomorrow – with a stark warning from his manager about the midfielder’s future.
- The Republic of Ireland player smashed his cruciate ligament playing for his country last October, and QPR boss Neil Warnock is only too aware time is running out for the 31-year-old.
- Rowlands will get a 30-minute run-out against West Ham in a closed doors friendly on Tuesday, with Warnock waiting to see if his advice has been heeded.
- The manager said: “Part of Rowly’s game is whole-hearted tackling - which has also cost him in the past.
- "And I think one of the ways we can improve him is to get him to release the ball earlier when he’s looking for a pass.” Fulham Chronicle
