Queens Park Rangers manager Chris Ramsey: "We let ourselves down"

Queens Park Rangers manager Chris Ramsey was not happy with his team's performance as they lost to Crystal Palace in today's lunchtime match.

Palace won 3-1 thanks to goals from Wilfried Zaha, James McArthur and Joel Ward, while QPR got a late consolation goal from Matt Phillips.

"The first half key moments really put us on back foot and it was really disappointing the way we defended," Ramsey told BBC Sport. "It killed the game before we could get into it.

"In the first half our play wasn't horrendous but we struggled in the key moments. All the players have come off disappointed knowing we let ourselves down in the key moments."

Ramsey still has faith in his side to avoid relegation but knows that it will be hard.

"We knew it was a mammoth task to stay up," he added. "We are now relying on other people which you don't want to do. But, until we get into a situation where it is not mathematically possible, we are going to keep going."

QPR's next match is next Sunday at home to Everton.
