Joe Jordan says March will be a crucial month in QPR's fight for survival

Joe Jordan and Harry Redknapp are trying to guide QPR to safety.

QPR first-team coach Joe Jordan says they need a successful March if they are to avoid relegation from the Premier League.

The Londoners remain bottom of the table but are now only four points from safety after a 2-1 win at Southampton on Saturday.

And their remaining March fixtures will also be seen as winnable by the R's, with Sunderland visiting this Saturday, before a trip to Aston Villa on 16 March.

Jordan said: "We know we've got a huge task on our hands over the last 10 games of the season.

"March will be a crucial month - it's vitally important we do well this month.

"There are fixtures coming up against teams in a similar position to us in the table.

"That gives us an opportunity to not only put points on the board ourselves, but also to stop those around us.

"But we aren't looking any further ahead than Sunderland. That's our next game and the only one we're focusing on right now.

"It's going to be a very, very tough game and one we'll need to be at our best in if we want to get back-to-back wins.

"We'll need to maintain our performance levels from the weekend and take our chances."
