We owe it to the fans to win tonight - Gareth Ainsworth
Club captain Gareth Ainsworth says QPR owe it to the fans to bounce back against Blackpool tonight.
A disappointing start to March has seen the R's collect just one win from their three fixtures so far, culminating in Saturday's disappointing 2-1 defeat against lowly Sheffield Wednesday.
Ainsworth says the players are desperate to get back to winning ways on home soil and told the club's official website: "The lads were totally gutted after the (Sheffield Wednesday) game, but this fixture, if we play like we know we can, is a great opportunity to get back to winning ways quickly.
"Our home form has been a really big part of our season, as it should be, but away from home - especially against the lower positioned teams - we have struggled.
"The amount of games we have led and lost is amazing. That mental toughness - not letting anything affect you on the pitch - is so important; self belief is a very powerful weapon to have."
Ainsworth added: "We knew March was always going to be a tough month with the amount of fixtures, but I know the boys relish every match, no matter how quick they come.
"It's not only tough on the players physically, but also on the fans - be it financially, socially or mentally - who follow us home and away, through thick and thin.
"I have been here long enough to know they make a big difference and I also know that they are all greatly appreciated by every single player."
