MARK BOWEN insists QPR will go âall-guns blazingâ when they host Reading at Loftus Road tonight in the Capital One Cup. Rangers take a break from Premier League action as they bid to reach the fourth round of the League Cup for only the second time in nine years. Should they fail, it wonât be for a lack of trying. âThe manager, wherever heâs been, has always treated cup competitions with the utmost respect by playing his strongest sides and I would imagine he will be looking to do that again, admittedly with one eye on our current injury list,â Bowen said. Hughes guided Blackburn to three cup semi-finals during his four-year stay at Ewood Park. They reached the penultimate hurdle of the FA Cup in 2005 and 2007, and were one step away from the League Cup final in 2006. âI think itâs important to treat cup competitions seriously because you want to create a winning mentality at the club,â said Bowen, who was with Hughes at Rovers, before joining him at Manchester City and Fulham. âYou donât want your players thinking it doesnât matter if you lose. It does matter! Every game is important so we are going to give it everything weâve got. We will be going all-guns blazing. SO WHAT HAPPENED?
