MARK Wotte is refusing to look past Saturday’s clash with QPR, as Saints enter a crucial four-match period in their bid for survival.

That is a spell that will undoubtedly define Saints’ season and one they almost certainly need to pick up a couple of wins from.

All the Dutchman is interested in is taking three points on Saturday.
