Watford striker Heidar Helguson is reported to be on Town boss Joe Royle s list of potential replacements for striker Darren Bent. Earlier this month TWTD revealed that the Icelander could be amongst Royle s summer targets.
Town are one of a number of clubs tracking Watford striker Heidar Helguson, according to sources in his home country of Iceland. Stoke City, West Ham and Crystal Palace are also said to be interested in the frontman who has scored 19 goals this season.
Paul Jewell says he’s had plenty of dust-ups with QPR manager Neil Warnock over the years, even stretching back to his time as a player. However, the Blues boss says Warnock, whose table-topping side his Town team faces at Loftus Road this evening (KO 8pm), is a very good manager and he expects the west Londoners to be promoted to the Premier League this season.
Town boss Paul Jewell felt his side were the better team in the first half at QPR but failed to test home keeper Paddy Kenny enough and gave away poor second half goals. Goals from Clint Hill and Heidar Helguson saw the league leaders to a 2-0 win at Loftus Road
Second half goals from Clint Hill and Heidar Helguson consigned Town to the second league defeat of Paul Jewell’s reign against table-topping QPR at Loftus Road. The Blues had been the better side in the first half but after the break Neil Warnock’s side upped a gear and struck twice in the last quarter of an hour.
