McCarthy - on his guard.

McCARTHY WARY OF `WOUNDED` RANGERS

Posted 05/12/08 08:13
EmailPrintSave


Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has warned his team they must not underestimate Saturday's opponents QPR as they look to maintain their lead at the top of the Coca-Cola Championship.

Before last week's 1-1 draw with Birmingham, Wolves had claimed seven successive league victories and McCarthy will be hoping the Black Country side can return to winning ways in the evening kick-off at Loftus Road.

QPR are in 10th place, only two points off the play-offs, after starting the season as one of the promotion favourites following the takeover by Formula One pair Flavio Briatore and Bernie Ecclestone, as well as steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal.

And McCarthy - who was named as the division's manager of the month for November on Thursday - knows they will present a tough challenge.

He told the club's official website: "It's always dangerous when you play teams like this.

"They have got a new manager (Paulo Sousa) and they have under-achieved.

"It's a danger for us because they are like a wounded animal desperate to do well.

"I'm concerned about QPR because it's not an easy place to play and they have good players and they have also signed good players.

"So, there's no question about it, it will be a very difficult game."

Second-placed Birmingham will be hoping to have closed the gap to three points before Wolves' late kick-off when they host struggling Watford.

The Hornets put up a fight before being beaten by Tottenham in the Carling Cup quarter-finals earlier this week but they are only three points above the drop zone.

Third-placed Reading travel to Barnsley, who have inched away from the relegation zone towards mid-table.

The Royals need to win if they are to keep up the pressure on the top two.

Burnley travel to Sheffield United, who are one place behind their visitors in fifth.

The Blades have lost their last two home games - against Reading and Wolves - and will be desperate to win while the Clarets will be on a high after they reached the Carling Cup semi-finals with victory over Arsenal earlier this week.

Preston entertain Cardiff, who are one point and a place ahead of their hosts in sixth.

Swansea will be looking to take advantage of any slips by those ahead of them when they visit Bristol City in a bid to leapfrog into the play-offs.

Likewise Plymouth, who visit rock-bottom Doncaster.

Second-bottom Nottingham Forest visit Coventry while Charlton, who occupy the third relegation spot, travel to Blackpool.

Elsewhere, Derby entertain Crystal Palace and Southampton host Sheffield Wednesday.
