Nedum Onuoha has slammed QPR after their 4-0 trouncing at Tottenham.
Fingers are being pointed at the failed 3-5-2 formation which was abandoned at half-time of the 4-0 defeat which leaves QPR bottom of the early-season table.
But Onuoha insists that such talk is just making excuses and feels each individual has to hold his hands up - right through the club.
"I don't know if it was a formation thing - I just think we weren't at it, from one to 11 and the whole club in general," he said. "And Tottenham is the type of place where you need to be at it 110 per cent.
"I don't know why that was the case. It is certainly not like us. But when you start poorly and go a couple goals down it is difficult to recover."
He added: "We managed to do better in the second half but by then the damage was done.
"There were a few individual mistakes and we need to learn as individuals that you can't make those type of mistakes.
"I don't know if it's a wake-up call. It's still only August. We've got to remain positive and carry on.
"Our fans are realistic. They know this season will have ups and downs. It was the same last year. We started the season really well and fell away a bit before coming back."
