QPR midfielder Josh Scowen believes it is important that the club adds to the squad during this month’s transfer window.
Rangers begin the new year in 18th place in the Championship table, just five points above the relegation zone.
Manager Ian Holloway is keen to strengthen his options in the coming weeks.
And Scowen told Get West London: “It’s always important to strengthen but you’ve got to get the right people in.
“I’m sure the gaffer and everyone in the backroom staff will be doing everything they can to bring the right people in to help us kick on in the second half of the season.”
Despite a disappointing season so far, Scowen – who has been excellent for Rangers since arriving from Barnsley – does not believe they should be too despondent.
He said: “A couple of the youngsters have already broken through into the first team. Ilias Chair has come through and done really well in the games that he’s played.
“They’re always there and training with us and pushing us to break into the starting line-up to make a name for themselves.
“I think mid-table is about right, that’s where we are, I don’t think expectations should change.
“If we manage to put a little run together then your ambitions could change then, but for now we take it game by game, and if we do put a run together we can reassess then.”
