Joe Jordan: 'Queens Park Rangers in good spirits'

Queens Park Rangers assistant manager Joe Jordan has insisted that the squad is in good spirits ahead of the new Championship campaign.

The R's are currently preparing for life in the second tier with a pre-season tour of Devon.

"There's no problem with the spirit of the players," Jordan told the club's official website. "They've shown some great application in training, which is what you'd expect.

"The players, in the period of time they had in London before we came away, did some hard running and have progressed down here, in some great weather and conditions."

QPR drew 0-0 at Exeter City in their first pre-season fixture on Thursday.
