Boss Jim Magilton says he is dreaming of the Blues pushing into the top six this season. The Town manager will be looking for his side to record their first away win of the season when they travel to QPR on Saturday.

Magilton said: “I dream about us being in the top six. I wouldn't be happy if my players were dreaming about it, but I allow myself to.

“I believe we can push into the top six and more importantly the players believe we can get there.”

The Blues boss says bottom-of-the-table Rangers' confidence will have been boosted by a home victory over Norwich in their last game before the international break: “They might be bottom but the win over Norwich will really fire them up and they will have belief.

“QPR will look at our away record and feel they have a very good chance.”

Central defender Jason De Vos is expected to be back in training today despite suffering a knee problem earlier in the week.

Richard Naylor is unlikely to be involved in the squad travelling to Loftus Road after only two reserve games since his summer toe surgery.
