PA Sport - Bircham: QPR can establish
Former QPR midfielder Marc Bircham believes the club can become an established Barclays Premier League club but only if they survive their relegation scrap this season.
The 33-year-old ex-Canada international now works as part of the youth team set-up at Loftus Road and he believes QPR can retain their top-flight status and build upon it.
He told Press Association Sport: "I think we can definitely do it. The result against Liverpool was a massive result - not just for the three points but for the confidence and belief of not only the players but the fans as well."
Despite following their memorable 3-2 win over Liverpool with a 3-1 reverse at Sunderland, Bircham wants QPR boss Mark Hughes to follow the blueprints set out by promoted clubs in the past.
"Stoke have done it and become an established Premier League team and other than this year Bolton have done it," he said. "If we can do it (stay up) with the backing that we have got with the owners and the finances we can gradually turn round and evolve into a Premier League club and hopefully a top-half (club) and maybe a European Premier League club.
"There is no point talking about that now because we have just got to be talking about surviving into this summer."
QPR were promoted as npower Championship champions last season and were favourites to survive in the Premier League over fellow promoted sides Norwich and Swansea. It has turned out differently however as Norwich and Swansea have performed well above expectations with both managers and squads earning plaudits for their style of play.
QPR have struggled despite financing several big-money signings with off-field wranglings also deflecting from their campaign, something Bircham has become accustomed to at Loftus Road.
"I have supported QPR for 30 years and we have never done things the easy way," he said. "It hasn't probably gone as planned as it was at the start of the year but the club changed (hands) and we had the transfer window at the start of the season where we had to rush signings through.
"We know the way the club wants to go that it can be the start of a fantastic period for QPR but the first hurdle is staying in the Premier League and if we can do that the club can come on leaps and bounds." PA Sport
QPR OFFICIAL SITE - ADEL EYES BIG PERFORMANCE
Adel Taarabt has admitted that he and his team-mates are desperate to give the Loftus Road faithful another big performance against Arsenal on Saturday.
Rangers go into the contest a point from safety, following the 3-1 defeat at Sunderland last weekend.
The next task at hand for Rangers is a seemingly perilous one, with Arsene Wenger's men going into the weekend's fixture hot off the back of seven straight Premier League wins.
QPR, however, will take some heart from their last-gasp victory over Liverpool in W12 last time out - and Taarabt told www.qpr.co.uk: "We hope we can give them (the fans) another big performance.
"I'm happier when we play at home. I feel better when we play at Loftus Road than I do when we play away.
"I feel the fans are really behind me. When we played against Liverpool they were fantastic - with me and the team as well.
"We need them, that's for sure - and I hope we can stay in this league."
On paper, Rangers face the toughest of run-ins, with trips to Manchester United, City and Chelsea all still to come for Mark Hughes's men - not to mention home ties with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
Taarabt, however, is choosing to look at the positives, adding: "It's a difficult run-in, but every time we play a big Club, we perform.
"Hopefully we can do the same again (in the run-in).
"It is very important for us that we take three points on Saturday."
The Moroccan added: "I think we have performed at home but we've lost so many points because of red cards.
"We've lost so many games, like Norwich and Wolves. We should have won these games, but with ten men it is difficult.
"But now we know what we have to so. It's going to be difficult but we have to give another performance." QPR
