"It's always psychological blow when you slip into the bottom three," he said after the 2-0 defeat at Loftus Road.
"I've got an honest bunch of pros who'll give their all - but whether it'll be good enough or not, I don't know.
"We've got to hope our luck changes because the danger is if we stop believing.
"People didn't give us a prayer and we're proving them absolutely spot on. We're not expected to win and the critics are right at the moment.
"Fulham didn't carve us open today but they were sloppy goals. No goal is ever a good goal to concede but we didn't help ourselves.
"You have to buy flair and Fulham have that in Boa Morte, Saha and Malbranque."
