Our away record puts some rivals to shame, says Neil Warnock

Hitting top form: Heidar Helguson
Ian Gibb11 April 2012

Queens Park Rangers travel to fellow promoted side Norwich tomorrow with manager Neil Warnock proud that they already boast a better away record than some Premier League teams will achieve all season.

Rangers, who have won three games on the road, must make slight adjustments as Joey Barton is suspended. But they welcome back defender Fitz Hall into the squad.

Warnock said: "We could have had more away wins if we'd been a bit fortunate - some teams won't even win three away all season. We've done that already and that's a great achievement by the lads."

One of Warnock's problems is the form of Heidar Helguson. The Icelandic striker has scored four goals in his last four games.

But while hitting a double in last week's 3-2 win at Stoke, he picked up a nasty cheek injury.
"He got a big lump on his cheek and that has developed into a full black eye," said Warnock. "But that's the hazard of being a big centre forward.

"We'll wait and see but I'm sure wild horses wouldn't keep him away - as long as he can see straight."
