Confidence in the QPR camp is high heading into tonight’s must-win Premier League match at Aston Villa, Chris Ramsey said yesterday.

QPR had lost 13 of 14 league away games before Saturday’s vital 4-1 victory at West Brom.

The win also saw the west London club end a five-game losing run, while they remain in 19th place just three points adrift of safety.

“It’s a fantastic victory for us,” QPR coach Chris Ramsey said. “The morale has been good, very professional. The players have this belief.

“We are going to approach the game (against Aston Villa) in the same way as we have done in the past.”

Ramsey believes QPR could have won previous games but lacked a finishing touch and also had shaky moments in defence.

“We are hoping that we can be as clinical as we were on Saturday,” he said.

And though QPR were not able to profit from their latest win with an improved league position, the interim boss feels that his side have revealed themselves to be a combative team that have a fighting chance of survival.

“We want to put pressure on the teams around us,” Ramsey said. “Everybody seems to be responding to what others are doing. The pressure is equal.”

Villa currently hold the last position of safety but have lost their last two league games, including a 3-1 defeat at Manchester United at the weekend.

But Ramsey would rather be in their position going into tomorrow’s clash than in the relegation zone.

“I would rather be going into the game with the advantage they have rather than us. We have more pressure.”
