Harry: Great Escape is on

HARRY REDKNAPP started his Houdini act at QPR with a point and roared: I can keep this lot up.

Rock-bottom Rangers are still looking for their first win of the season.

But new boss Redknapp insisted: I saw enough tonight to think we have a real chance. It was a good point and we worked hard but its still a very tough job.

We got the best out of what we had.

There are areas we need to work on, we cant pluck anyone out of the air to come in, so we have to get the best out of what we have. At least I kept Martin ONeill quiet for once he wasnt jumping around.

Its going to be tough, look at the position we are in. But if we can get them to work together we will have a chance.

Confidence has to be a bit shot but you just have to keep telling them they are good and they start to believe it.

We need to make Loftus Road like Portsmouths ground. We have to make it a tough place to come starting against Villa on Saturday.

I only had two days with the lads but they gave me everything and there were lots of positives. I certainly feel happier after watching that display than I did at Manchester United on Saturday.

Sunderland were booed off as ONeills woefully shot-shy side drew a blank once again.

They have now won just four Premier League games out of the last 27 and are being dragged deep into the relegation scrap.

Boss ONeill said: It was a frustrating evening for us. Losing Lee Cattermole early didnt help and handicapped us.

I knew they would be buoyed by Harrys arrival but I thought we would be able to break them down.

Its difficult for us at the moment because we are not playing with confidence.

You have to be able to play the ball you choose and not the one the crowd want you to play.

We just have to tough it out.
