QPR's players didn't see Harry Redknapp's resignation coming.
The club's first-choice goalkeeper Robert Green said that Redknapp's decision to quit as manager was a "shock"
"It came as a surprise to everybody," he said, adding about the future: "Football fans, and QPR supporters in particular, can be really galvanised during extreme circumstances. That could well be the case on Saturday. As a group of players, we have got to come out fighting. Hopefully the fans will take that on board and be with us."
