Mike Williamson: "We have had a lot of big games and QPR is right up there with the most important. The lads know that and we are solely focused on getting the win.
"It is a must-win for us and we go into every game with that mindset, but with Manchester United and Arsenal coming up, it is even more so.
"Last season, everyone was coming up and patting us on the back. Now they are asking us what has gone wrong.
"This is such a passionate city. They [the fans] deserve to see a few more better displays. We are all working hard to try to put things right and give the fans something to cheer."
