Leigertwood's plea for QPR

Mikele Leigertwood insists QPR must go into every game demanding a win if they are to be in the promotion reckoning in May.

The west London side will face their toughest test of the season so far tonight, when they face Newcastle at St James' Park.

Leigertwood said: "We can't be looking at a point here and there. We are going to every ground, every game, whether it's Newcastle away or Blackpool at home, expecting to win."

Jim Magilton's men got their promotion hunt back on track with convincing wins over Cardiff and Barnsley and Leigertwood believes automatic promotion is far from out of sight.

He added: "At the start of the season we were looking to get promoted. That goal hasn't changed but we are going to need to be consistent."
