QPR manager looking to freshen up 'small squad'

QPR manager Neil Warnock hopes to be active in the transfer window after targeting up to four new players in January. The Rangers boss is looking to do business as early as Monday as he bids to bolster his squad. Warnock saw his side go down to a single Robin van Persie goal at Arsenal and admitted afterwards he needs to reinforce his playing staff. "We've only got a small squad. We lost Paddy Kenny before kick and we've had one or two blows but the spirit is right. "I'm hoping to get one in for Monday and then three or four before the end of the window - hopefully before our next game at Newcastle." While not being drawn on specific targets, Warnock admitted he needs to add depth in several positions after seeing van Persie inspire the Gunners to victory. But the Rangers manager was upset at the tactics used by the Arsenal captain in the 1-0 win at Emirates. "He gets away with murder does van Persie. I wish we had him. His arms are everywhere. He gets away with it because he's van Persie but we need to educate our players a little bit more because he gets away with it." Rangers were always in the game at Arsenal and Warnock thought his side could have come away with a result but for an error by Shaun Wright-Phillips which gifted possession to the hosts in the build-up to the winner. "Shaun was distraught at the end of the game. But he played well today and could have won us the game and that's the fine line. On another day we could have got one and perhaps three points. "We've learned quickly but we need some new additions and we're working on that."
