Adel Taarabt is gutted for sacked Fulham boss Martin Jol.
The on-loan Moroccan went through all this last season with QPR, who failed to win in their first 16 games at the start of the campaign and ended up being relegated.
He is desperate to avoid an action replay with Fulham but admits life only gets harder the longer you are stuck in the bottom three.
Taarabt said: "We are to blame. Martin Jol is a good manager. At the moment it is not working.
"But we need to stay positive. I want to stay in the Premier League. I don't want to see us go down.
"I had this situation with QPR last year and every game you don't win adds to the pressure. It's hard. When you are at the bottom, the situation puts us under pressure.
"We started well, and had we scored it could have been a different game. But after we conceded we were not as well organised and at the end we lacked fight."
