QPR had been showing signs of a late play-off push in the Championship after an impressive six-game unbeaten run, but these top-six ambitions have been placed on hold following the suspension of all fixtures.

It was announced on Friday that the EFL and Premier League had taken the decision to suspend all matches as a result of ongoing health concerns, with this plunging the season into significant uncertainty with nine games still left to play.

There are not many sides in any of the English divisions who would have already accepted their fate with relegation and promotion still very much on the line, and QPR are certainly one of the sides to fall in this category.

The west London outfit's strong run of form would have reignited their hopes of sealing a play-off spot this campaign, particularly given that so many of the other top-six contenders have started to show signs of them faltering in the last few weeks.

QPR boss Mark Warburton's latest message to supporters reflects the fact that QPR have their eye on a top-six spot, with Warburton arguing that the season must be eventually finished rather than completely voided following recent events.

The fact Warburton voiced this opinion on a public platform suggests he envisaged a bright conclusion to the season for his side, with the Rs having closed the gap between themselves and the top six to just six points despite them still sitting 13th in the table.

QPR's most recent outing saw them seal a 3-1 victory on their travels over sixth-placed side Preston, with this result being just the latest sign that the Hoops have what it takes to make a serious surge for the play-off spots when the season does resume.

The big question will be whether QPR are able to maintain their current momentum when the current campaign continues, with Warburton's men having clearly developed a strong rhythm over the last month during their ascent towards the play-offs.

QPR should still be considered as outsiders for the top six given they have more ground to make up over the remaining nine matches, but there can be no doubt that Warburton's message at least partly reflects his belief in the Rs' play-off credentials.

It does seem logical that the current EFL season should be completed at some stage rather than abandoned altogether, and it is clear to see why this would be a popular belief among sides such as QPR who still have everything to play for in the last nine games.
