Norwich 'dangerous' despite poor run - Stephan

QPR head coach Julien Stephan is under no illusions as to the danger Norwich City pose, despite the Canaries' poor start to the season which has left them second from bottom in the Championship table.

The Rs visit Carrow Road on Saturday (15:00 GMT) on the back of two victories, while their hosts have picked up just two points from their past six matches.

Norwich sacked Liam Manning earlier this month after the former Bristol City boss oversaw seven consecutive home defeats.

Philippe Clement has since taken over and has picked up one point from a possible six, with the Canaries currently six points from safety.

But despite their poor start, Stephan says he has seen enough from them to suggest Norwich can get out of trouble and cause the Hoops problems at the weekend.

"We know that even if they're not in a good position in the table they have some good players and are able to play very well collectively," Stephan told BBC Radio London.

"Since the start of the season they create a lot of chances offensively and they didn't succeed yet to be very clinical in the penalty area. But they are able to create a lot of danger with good players offensively."

QPR ended their own four game winless run with victory over Hull City and followed that up with a win on the road at Ewood Park against Blackburn Rovers.

They sit 12th in the congested league table on 25 points, just two points behind sixth-placed Preston North End but three about West Bromwich Albion in 17th.

After travelling to Norwich they face back-to-back home games against the Baggies and Birmingham City.

"It's easier to recover after a good win, and that was the case against Blackburn. Mentally it's easier to recover and I hope we will be fresh tomorrow to compete against Norwich," Stephan added.

"We are not yet a strong, strong team but I feel that the players improve and the team improve as well a lot in the last weeks and in the two also three last months.

"That's a good sign for us and just continue to use well also this type of experience."
