Hunt relishing Loftus Road battle

04 November 2010 14:00
Reading forward Noel Hunt is anticipating a fiery encounter at QPR this weekend.

The Royals fought back from 3-1 down to win 4-3 against Scunthorpe last week to move into the top six and Hunt is keen to keep the charge going against the Hoops.

He said: "I've never been to Loftus Road but it's one of the places where I've always wanted to play.

"From what I've heard I think it's a bit like Hearts' ground in Scotland. The fans are noisy and right on top of you, so I'm looking forward to it.

"If we do manage to get something out of that one it keeps us right up there. They'll want to get back to winning games and we know they have some key individual players that we have to keep quiet.

"They have a good squad of players and will be up there near the end but hopefully so will we."
