‘No fear’ – QPR boss on Championship relegation fight

Gareth Ainsworth says he has “no fear” about QPR’s Championship relegation fight.

The former Wycombe boss has only won one of his six games in charge since replacing Neil Critchley at Loftus Road.

QPR, who have lost their last three outings, are 18th in the Championship table and three points above the relegation zone.

The West Londoners host mid-table Preston on Friday.

“We’re in a real bad run of form and I’ve got to change that,” Ainsworth told BBC Radio London.

“I’ve got to change the mentality here because it’s not something I’m used to, but I’ll be positive until the end.

“I’m not fearing anything. I’ve been in this game a hell of a long time and I’ve got absolutely no fear.

“I know can look in the mirror every night and say: ‘I gave my absolute best.’

“I’m sure every player can as well. It’s just not going for us at the moment.

“I’m not saying that QPR need a miracle – we just need a change of form.

“We need some consistent results, some consistent performances and stop shipping silly goals because they’re costing us big at the moment.”
