Harry Redknapp is convinced summer signing Leroy Fer will make a major impact at QPR.
The Dutch midfielder, signed from Norwich in August, was outstanding in Rangers’ win against Sunderland but has been less effective in their away matches.
Redknapp previously suggested Fer was not fully fit, but more recently the manager has been hugely impressed and has also taken heart from Niko Kranjcar’s displays during the team’s poor start to the season.
“I think Fer’s going to be a top player for us. I’m delighted with the progress he’s making,” said Redknapp.
“And Niko Kranjcar looks a lot fitter this year. We’ve got to build on them. I think we’ll be okay.”
Rangers are in the bottom three, having lost all their away games this term, but Redknapp insists he remains confident they will climb away from danger.
“It’s difficult and we’ve not got a lot of attacking options, but we’ve got some good players here,” he said.
“I do still think we’ll be okay once everyone gets up to speed.”

What's wrong with QPR. Their work rate is well below par, they don't close down quick enough and they play too deep, thus allowing too much possession to their opponents.
Ferdinand is well past it, and M. Phillips runs about like a headless chicken. This makes no sense when more effective players are available such as Hoilett and Onuoha. I would also play Yun at left back.
I think the jury's still out on strikers, but we certainly need another body there.
I agree Spot on They have not learned any lessons from the last time they went up
gotta love arry, apparently were losing because players arent fit and are not up to speed. Stop buying unfit slow players then! or heres and idea theyre pros on massive wages, theyre supposed to train all week!
Perhaps theyre too busy being smashin, super and great lads, no more excuses mr redknapp youre drinking in the last chance saloon, nobody is fooled anymore
