    Redknapp looks to recreate Portsmouth atmosphere at QPR

    QPR manager Harry Redknapp has called on his side to make Loftus Road like Portsmouth’s ground Fratton Park after their 0-0 draw at Sunderland.

    Julio Cesar did well to block Steven Fletcher’s first-half shot and, after he failed to return after the break, replacement Rob Green produced a fine-one-handed save to repel the same man’s goal-bound header.

    Rangers will return to action on Saturday when they entertain Aston Villa, and Redknapp is hoping the home fans can recreate the kind of atmosphere that their Portsmouth counterparts did at Fratton Park during his time there.

    He said: “We have got a big game on Saturday now with Villa. We have got to make Loftus Road a little bit like Portsmouth used to be.

    “We made that a tough place to go. It’s the same type of stadium, a small stadium, intimidating and if we can show the fans that we are going to have a real go and they get behind us, then it can be a tough place to come.”

    Sunderland left the pitch once again to the sound of boos from their own supporters, and manager Martin O’Neill admitted his players had to overcome the anxiety from the stands.

    He said: “It’s a sign of character, really, as much as anything else. You have to play the ball that you choose and not the one that the crowd want you to play.

    “But ours wouldn’t be the only crowd getting anxious about things.”

    :emoticon-0159-musicPlay up Pompey - Pompey play up:emoticon-0159-music

    Such musical genius and the subtlety of the lyrics is way above the heads of us Ranger's fans.

    But I predict LR will be an oppressive place for the Villa players on Saturday :emoticon-0130-devil

    Good God, if any of our rival fans pick up on this they'll have a field day.
