Mikele Leigertwood believes the new-look QPR squad should 'fear no-one' as the business end of the season looms large.
The combative midfielder - who has recently returned to the Rangers side following a four match suspension - is adamant that the R's can keep climbing the table in the second half of the campaign.
"With the squad we've got now, I don't think we should fear anyone," he told www.qpr.co.uk.
"A few weeks ago, people were probably looking at the fixtures and thinking 'QPR will lose that one,' but now I think they can see that there's a bit more quality with the way we're setting ourselves up and approaching games.
"Everything has changed really quickly, but hopefully for the better."
However, Leigertwood has warned his QPR team-mates that they need to be on their guard for the midweek trip to Ninian Park.
With a rare weekend off due to the FA Cup fourth round ties, the R's return to Championship action against the rejuvenated Bluebirds on Tuesday night.
After a mid-season slump, Dave Jones' Cardiff side have soared up the table to eighth in recent weeks, with five wins from their previous eight fixtures.
"We're on a decent run of form, but we have to respect Cardiff, who have really improved in recent weeks," said Leigertwood.
"They almost beat West Bromwich Albion in their last league game, but we have to approach the match in a positive manner, that is what the gaffer wants us to do."
