QPR manager Chris Ramsey insists there is no "doom and gloom" among his players ahead of their crunch relegation encounter at West Brom on Saturday.
A tough trip to The Hawthorns is quickly followed by a visit to fellow strugglers Aston Villa on Tuesday as QPR look to close a four-point gap between themselves and safety.
Five consecutive defeats have left Ramsey's side second bottom of the table but the QPR boss claims his squad remain optimistic about their chances of survival.
"There's no doom and gloom here," Ramsey said. "We've tried to make sure everything is as upbeat as possible.
"Once you start to let the doom and gloom in, it does have an effect on the confidence.
"What we want is high energy performances in the next three games and to obviously make sure we take our chances which we didn't do against Everton.
"We need to battle to the end because we are letting late goals in."
Rangers will be desperate to pick up at least one victory against West Brom and Villa, before they embark on a difficult run that includes games against Chelsea, West Ham, Liverpool and Manchester City.
"The belief is good, it's fantastic, you wouldn't believe where we are but tension mounts when you're in the situation we're in," Ramsey said.
"The players couldn't have given much more in the games recently.
"Those little bits of quality in terms of defence and taking chances haven't been there and we're looking to change that this weekend."
