Veteran Preston striker Kevin Davies believes it will represent a "disaster" for QPR if they fail to make the Sky Bet Championship play-offs.
League One promotion race Down in League One, Davies' Preston are currently embroiled in what looks set to be a four-team battle for the two automatic spots. Brentford slipped out of the top two on the back of their first defeat in 20 games at the weekend, Wolves claiming a 3-0 win at Griffin Park to usurp their hosts, but Davies insists the Bees should not feel too downhearted about the result. He said: "That was a huge game and one we had an eye on because we've got ambitions to get into the top two ourselves. "I wouldn't say it was shock because Wolves since we played them at the start of the year have been on a really good run themselves. I said at the start of the season if we can finish behind Wolves then I'd expect us to go straight up, and that hasn't really changed for me. "Having been so used to winning and not losing games it comes as a bit of a shock (to be beaten, as Brenford were) but they have to realise it's to one of, if not the best team in the league. Mark Warbuton I'm sure will be saying 'that one is gone now, let's go on another good run until the end of the season'. "It's still tight up there. Looking at the wins and draws columns we (Preston) have only won 16 but we've drawn 13 and that kind of sums up our season, we've drawn too many games. But we are hard to beat, we've only lost four games all season, so we're doing OK. "With Wolves and Brentford both having two games in hand on us and Leyton Orient it's going to be hard for us, but we'll see how Brentford respond to their defeat. "You have to think the top two will come from that top four at the moment." Cook interview and Beagrie views Also on this week's FL72 Weekly, Chesterfield manager Paul Cook is interviewed, with his side currently top of League Two and preparing for the final of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy at the end of the March. Davies gives his verdict on his former club, while there is more from both the 36-year-old and Peter Beagrie on QPR and the battles at both ends of the table in League One.
