Only a dope would fail at Chelsea, insists Harry Redknapp, as QPR prepare to face Rafa Benitez's men You'd have to be a real dope to mess it up with that group of players - (Eden) Hazard, (Juan) Mata, (Frank) Lampard. He's a clever guy. Even in the West Ham game that they lost, they could have been out of sight at half-time. Redknapp does not feel he is in a similar position in regards to the players he inherited when he entered Loftus Road. The 65 year-old has not seen a happy bunch of players at the club's Harlington training ground. "Since I've been here...I think they were all looking to blame each other for the horrendous start, but most have been fine and worked hard," he said. We now need to find that little bit of quality somehow that can make the difference to us. With the money spent on players by QPR owner Tony Fernandes during the managerial reigns of Neil Warnock and Mark Hughes, Redknapp thinks the squad is still short on numbers. He said: "Our two centre halves have given everything - but they're both 35. No disrespect, but Ryan Nelsen came here as fourth choice. He said he would give it a go for another year and play a few games if needed. I took him to Tottenham last year on the same basis. He's been fantastic here, but he's played every game since I got the job. Clint Hill has done great - he went out on loan last year to Nottingham Forest and has done a good job. But we're short and need a bit more and I've got to find one or two if I can. Redknapp is expected to delve into the transfer market during the January window and has hinted he would be interested in taking Liverpool midfield Joe Cole to west London. But a defeat against local rivals Chelsea would leave QPR eight points from safety, making it harder to attract the right type of player to the club.
