Every QPR player is fighting for their future, says Joey Barton please log in to view this image Captain's call: QPR need a minimum of three wins to stay up, says Barton Simon Johnson please log in to view this image Published: 08 April 2015 Updated: 08:48, 08 April 2015 Joey Barton believes all the QPR squad are now playing for their future at Loftus Road, but insists no-one can have any complaints if they're sold in the summer. QPR conceded a late equaliser against relegation rivals Aston Villa in a thrilling 3-3 draw last night, which means they remain two points from safety in 18th place. They have just six games left to save their Premier League status, three of which are against Chelsea (on Sunday) and away to Liverpool and Manchester City. Barton feels they need a minimum of three victories to have a hope of staying up and is fully aware of the consequences should they fail. The QPR captain, who has yet to be offered a new deal despite his current contract expiring in the summer, told Standard Sport: "It's the nature of the beast. Every transfer window, everyone's future goes up in the air. "People are trying to keep hold of players or part exchange players. We have to understand that. "Players are commodities in the modern game, it's part of the job. You don't cry about it, it is what it is. "If you're not performing then clubs are within their rights to bring someone else in who can. It's a cut throat business. "Every club has to earn the right to stay in the League. I think you're going to need 34-35 points. We have 26 so we need at least another three wins to give ourselves a fighting chance. "The way the teams are playing at the bottom now, like with Leicester winning at the weekend, it might need more than that. It makes for a hell of a spectacle because I think the title race is over." please log in to view this image MATCH REPORT: ASTON VILLA 3 QPR 3 Rangers showed great character once more, just three days after an impressive 4-1 win at West Brom, to turn a 2-1 deficit at half-time into a 3-2 lead through goals from Clint Hill and Charlie Austin. But Christian Benteke struck a fine free kick with just eight minutes remaining to complete his hat-trick and prevent QPR from going above Aston Villa in the table. Barton has laughed off talk of being under strain and is looking forward to the challenge of keeping QPR in the top flight.

A look at the League table shows that seven clubs, including Aston Villa, have found the net less times than Rangers, while Stoke sit in a comfortable tenth place in the League having matched their tally of 35. Clearly that is only one facet of the game though. Statistics don't always tell the full story, but the most damning, and damaging, one for QPR is that they have let in 55 in 31 games at the other end - the worst record of all sides by far. Ramsey has been playing 4-4-2 a bit more often of late and it certainly worked to good effect at the Hawthorns. QPR have demonstrated they can't keep a clean sheet, so their best bet is to take the game to the opposition as they did on Saturday, rather than sit back and hope to nick something on the break. Naturally, a lot stills rests on the shoulders of top scorer Charlie Austin. He added: "Pressure? This isn't pressure. This isn't real life, it's football. There are a lot more things to worry about than whether you win on a Saturday. Just go down any job centre, you will see what real pressure is. "Football is a different kind of pressure, but as a professional player you want a challenge. You want to see if you've got any minerals. "At this club we don't do things the easy way. People think strength is winning all the time, it's not. It's overcoming obstacles, getting kicked in the b******s and getting up after it. "Certainly if you don't have it at this football club, you'd be dead and buried. We have a great spirit in that dressing room, something we work really hard to protect. "Everyone wrote us off before we went to West Brom and we have quietly believed. But it's about doing it on the pitch and over the last couple of games we have shown that. "We're gutted we didn't win against Villa because we got in front and I felt we were the stronger side in the second half."
Some of their futures have already been decided, SWP have you sorted out a contract in America/any other nation who have a club who will pay him on passed performances, about 7 years ago
