Rob Green would like to point out to irate QPR fans the side has lost just four in 10 games.

The trouble is, as Rs’ keeper concedes, there have been a lot of draws in between.

There was booing at half time in the 1-1 draw with Huddersfield last week, and then another brief outburst of discontent at the end of the 2-1 defeat to Hull on Friday.

Rangers slipped to 16th as a result, but Green has a reason form tends to go out of the window in the FA Cup as Hoops gear up to face Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

He said: “In the modern day cup, there’s a different team to the one that gets put out from the game before – that’s why form can go out of the window, and that’s why you get cup upsets.

“In our case, it’s another Championship game; and when you look at it there’s not that many bodies too choose from, so we’ll regroup and go from there.”

After that in quick succession, Rangers face more tough away days at Blackburn and Rotherham, with Green admitting Rangers are in a bit of a trough.

He added: “You keep going and keep believing, because we don’t have a choice.

“It’s not for the want of effort; had a lot of games in a short space of time.

“The Championship’s a grind a lot of the time, and anyone can beat anyone.

“There have been a lot of late goals against us and that’s what happens when the chips down things go against you.”
