ILIAS Chair says being praised for decent performances means little as QPR bid to beat the Championship drop.
The Hoops were the better team for long spells in Sunday’s televised defeat to Watford, but were undone by two long range strikes from Watford’s Jake Livermore in the space of five second half minutes.
Lyndon Dykes did manage to pull one back late on, although it wasn’t enough to prevent a 16th defeat of the season.
That leaves QPR five points from safety and Chair, back in the side following a recent calf injury, accepts playing well needs to be translated into victories.
He told the club’s YouTube channel: “We strive to win every single game that we play in.
“The performance today was very good, the performance against Southampton was very good but we’ve got nothing out of these games.
“I think the most important thing now is that we start getting these three points on the board because of the position where we are in three points are very important.”
Chair lasted 70 minutes on his return and was just happy to have quickly shaken off the problem which saw him miss the previous two games.
He explained: “I was itching to get back. Luckily for me it wasn’t a big injury and all the credit to the medical staff because they’ve done a great job with me to get me back for this game.
“I’m happy that I’m back playing but at the same time I’m very disappointed about the result and about the way things went.
Chair added: “We should have been leading this game.
“I think we were the most dominant side, we had the better chances.
“Sometimes it is football, sometimes this happens.
“Two goals from 30 yards out – what can we do? There’s not much you can do about it.
“At the end of the day, we just have to keep going and hopefully get back on track in these next two games.”
One highlight of the Watford defeat was the way Chair, Kenneth Paal and Chris Willock caused the Hornets so many problems on the left.
And Chair was full of praise for his team-mates, pointing out they have a great connection both on the field and off it.
He said: “They are two terrific players. You could see today that they are both very good on the ball.
“Obviously I have a great relationship with both of them on and off the pitch and it just translates well. When we play together we understand each other.
“We don’t need to do too much talking, we just understand each other’s runs and where we want to go.
“I think it is a very, very important relationship we have on the pitch.”
