QPR boss Chris Ramsey admitted he was "disappointed" after his team let slip a late lead in Tuesday's 3-3 draw at Aston Villa.
Rangers took the lead through Matt Phillips in the seventh minute, then after two goals by Christian Benteke, hit back after the break through Clint Hill and Charlie Austin, the latter netting with just 12 minutes left.
Only Benteke's perfect free kick denied QPR what would have been a massive three points, much to Ramsey's chagrin.
He said: "It's a long time, it's heart-attack time for managers, that. You can see you're going to win but you know there's a chance anything can happen, a free kick, a corner or a bit of magic.
"I thought we could [hang on] but a free kick is a free kick, at that stage most of their attacking options had been exhausted.
"I'm disappointed if I'm being honest. But before the game if someone said we'd get four points from the last two games we probably would have taken that."
QPR have taken four points from their last two away games after winning just once on the road this season before Saturday's 4-1 win at West Brom. The draw, though, left them two points from safety having played a game more.
Rangers were seeking back-to-back away wins in the top flight for the first time since 1995 but Ramsey targeted home victories to keep them up. They host Chelsea on Sunday before welcoming West Ham and Newcastle to Loftus Road.
"I don't know what we need but we're probably going to have to win three games," Ramsey said. "I don't know what the points total will be but our two home games are going to be very important after Chelsea.
"We have got a couple of very difficult ones in Liverpool and Manchester City and then we have the potential cup final against Leicester on the last day of the season.
"Most teams would take being in it right to the end and then roll the dice, you don't want to start being detached because it's a big mountain to climb."
