AINSWORTH: I'LL KEEP ON FIGHTING

GARETH Ainsworth insisted he can turn things around at QPR after a chastening defeat at home to Blackburn Rovers increased the pressure on him.

Ainsworth is determined to stay on as boss, but his future looks uncertain after another dire performance with Blackburn findind the net via Tyrhys Dolan, Arnor Sigurdsson (two) and Sammie Szmodics.

Rangers have won just once at Loftus Road since last October and an 11th home game without a win set a new club record. They almost went down under Ainsworth last season and are currently third from bottom, having so far justified being one of the favourites for relegation this term.

But Ainsworth declared: “I’m a fighter and a scrapper. I’ll get this team out of this, no problem – I’ll get this team higher in the league. I’m going to work really hard to get out of this.
