On target: Paulo Sousa hopes that extra finishing drills will help his team get better results

Sousa trying to fire up his goal-shy side

6 Mar 2009


Paulo Sousa has given his squad extra shooting practice in a bid to salvage Queens Park Rangers' playoff hopes.

Rangers have scored just once in their last three games and face Sheffield United tomorrow looking for a first home win since 20 December.

Manager Sousa said: "It's not just at home that we have been having problems, we have struggled away as well. We are creating chances and when we start scoring more, the results will come.  

"So every day we are working on finishing in training. And that's not just the strikers, it's the midfielders and full-backs too."

I,m sorry to point the finger but the main culprit for QPR not putting away the numerous scoring chances they have had is Helge Helguson.Some of the missed chances have seemed easier to score than miss. But having said that, his goal ratio will improve, starting from tomorrow, where he WILL score twice in the 4-1 win over Sheffield United.
