Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson said he must not get "wrapped up with disappointment" after his side dropped to the bottom of the Premier League.
City's 3-2 defeat at Loftus Road, their fifth in six games, saw them drop below Burnley and QPR to the foot of the table.
Esteban Cambiasso gave City the lead after just four minutes but an own goal from Leicester captain Wes Morgan and a strike from Leroy Fer saw QPR go into the break ahead.
Jeff Schlupp levelled with a thunderous strike after the hour before Charlie Austin headed home the winner five minutes later to extend City's winless run to eight games.
"When you are going through a period like we are at the moment, it is important I don't get wrapped up in the types of disappointment that it would be very easy to," said Pearson. "I have got to look at the reasons for not winning today and try to rectify it.
"We started the game well enough and created chances throughout. Really, it is a game we should have won in many ways. The reality is that we are not winning enough games at the moment.
"Margins remain pretty small but it is not about talking about it, it is about going out and doing it and there is only us who can rectify our own results.
"We were very positive, created chances, and still could not win the game. That is frustrating for us all.
"I feel for the players because both sides tried to win it. You could not argue that it was a boring game, with two sides playing with fear, I don't think that was the case at all."
That view would certainly be backed up by the stats, which showed that both sides had a combined 51 attempts on goal – more than any Premier League match since the 2006/7 season.
Despite conceding more than two goals for only the second time this season, Pearson was quick to jump to the defence of his back four.
For QPR's first goal, Steven Caulker was allowed to stroll through the City half unmarked, latching on to a through ball before his low cross was diverted into his own net by Wes Morgan.
"I thought our defenders actually played very well, that's not the reason we conceded goals," said Pearson.
"There were some great blocks in the first half and I thought, as a defensive unit, we were fine.
"(The reasons for the goals were) players not tracking runners. Your defenders are not responsible for that."
"Their first goal is the most dangerous ball for a defender to deal with, the one that is slid across you in the six-yard box and you're facing your own goal.
"It was an unfortunate situation for Wes. But that's not the source of the goal."
