Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has insisted that his players must do better if they are to challenge for promotion to the Premier League.
Redknapp's side fell to a 2-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day after goals from Greg Halford and Andy Reid.
That result followed a 1-0 home loss
against Leicester City, and Redknapp feels that his side are going through a "blip" in form.
"We started the game okay - I didn't think [Forest] offered an awful lot. But then I thought they were busier than us and we offered no end product," he told the club's official website.
"We had a great start to the season. We've had a little bit of a blip now but hopefully that's taught us a lesson.
"We've got to up our game a bit if we want to challenge [for promotion]."
QPR are third in the Championship, three points behind leaders Leicester.
