Ryan Nelsen has hailed Harry Redknapp for making an instant impact at QPR and backed him to steer the club clear of relegation.
"We can't worry about other teams winning or losing. "We just have to concentrate on ourselves and just try to win as many games as we can. "That's all we have to do, try to go on a run, try to secure wins and points and after 38 games we will just have to see where we are." QPR finally sent out an SOS to Redknapp last week after agonising over sacking Hughes. The Welshman was said to have made a real impact behind the scenes at Loftus Road as Rangers bid to become a Premier League club both on and off the field. New Zealand captain Nelsen has particular reason to be grateful to Hughes, who brought him to English football from Major League Soccer almost eight years ago. The pair spent three-and-a-half years together at Blackburn and were reunited this summer when Nelsen moved to Loftus Road after being released by Spurs. "It was very sad to see Mark go because he has transformed QPR," Nelsen said. "It may not look like it from the outside but, inside, it's a different club. "It's a Premier League club now but, unfortunately, the results didn't go for him and I felt really bad for him. "Harry has come in and his credentials speak for themselves. It is up to us now to bring in results for him, start producing on the field and getting some points."
