Dowie is in the process of gradually strengthening his squad

Queens Park Rangers manager Iain Dowie is still hoping for more reinforcements ahead of the Championship season.

Dowie told BBC London 94.9: "I've always said I'm very happy. It's not revolution, it's evolution. I do think we need one or two areas strengthening.

"We may be in a situation where we can bring one or two in, that may change the picture."

However, striker Daniel Nardiello is set to leave the club - either permanently or on loan.

Dowie revealed: "Daniel, I feel, is a little behind in the pecking order, I think four strikers are just a touch ahead of him. "

Meanwhile, Rangers beat Northampton 1-0 on Wednesday, thanks to a Dexter Blackstock goal.

And after that game Dowie was full of praise for his squad's attitude.

He said: "Since the minute I've been here the work the lads have done in preseason has been outstanding,"
