A huge home win over London rivals Millwall and, all of a sudden, there are the first signs of optimism beginning to grow around Loftus Road that QPR can put on a successful survival fight.
Marti Cifuentes side have improved performances since the start of the year with signs of real progress against Bournemouth and Watford before slipping up and seeing results go against them. That luck finally changed thanks to Sinclair Armstrong and Ilias Chair goals last time out.
The work that QPR can do in the January transfer window is limited by Financial Fair Play restrictions but Cifuentes has shared his belief that new players will come through the door. According to rumours circulating in the media, here's what the QPR starting XI could look like come the end of January.
