Not giving up: Chris Ramsey

Standard Sport14 March 2015

QPR boss Chris Ramsey will not give up the survival fight despite Crystal Palace dealing his team another serious blow on Saturday.

Three first-half goals at Selhurst Park gave Rangers a mountain to climb as Palace enhanced their own prospects of remaining in the Barclays Premier League with a 3-1 victory.

Matt Phillips pulled one back with a sensational 40-yard strike seven minutes from time but it will be of little consolation to Ramsey and his team, who remain entrenched in the bottom three.

Ramsey told BT Sport: "There wasn't one player I could look at and say 'they threw the towel in'.

"The only thing we can do is go back to the drawing board. The fact is we let ourselves down in key moments of the game and we need to take that out of our game.

"I wouldn't say I am confident (of surviving) because I don't think anyone below that line is confident, but we still have the willingness and we still have the players that can complete the task."
