Karl Henry branded QPR's performance in defeat to Liverpool as "ridiculous".
A frantic end saw QPR twice level the scores in the final seven minutes of playing time only to allow Liverpool each time immediately to re-establish the lead.
The final hammer-blow came when Raheem Sterling broke away from Karl Henry to hit a cross which Steven Caulker deflected into his own net - and Henry admits that desperate measures should have been implemented.
"With hindsight I'd be walking off the pitch with a red card and we'd have drawn the game 2-2," he said. "It wasn't him that scored, there were still four-five bodies bombing forward from their area and we let it happen.
"We needed to show our fans that we care and we know what's at stake, what the position is we're in and we thought we did that.
"But people were dying for the cause so to throw it away at the end was ridiculous."
