QPR boss Harry Redknapp believes they're suffering from a tough schedule after defeat to Swansea City.
Redknapp has pointed to QPR's tough sequence of fixtures as his side kept their 100 per cent loss record on the road with a 2-0 defeat at Swansea.
QPR are now without an away win in seven attempts and firmly entrenched in the bottom three.
"We've had hard games," said Redknapp after his side, mainly goalkeeper Rob Green, kept Swansea goalless until the 78th minute on Tuesday night.
"We caught Newcastle on the back of a five-match winning run then we went to Chelsea, Man United and Tottenham earlier in the season when they looked like they were going to be flying. They have not been easy games.
"Look at the table and the teams that have come up - it's a big step up."
