FOR a man who has already scored 13 goals in his maiden Premier League season, Charlie Austin should be revelling in his current antics.





However, the striker – currently one of the top-flight’s leading goalscorers – cannot rest easy given the fact that QPR are now back in the relegation zone following our 2-1 defeat at Burnley.





Goal number 13 arrived for Austin from the penalty spot at Turf Moor on Saturday – but the 25-year-old was less than impressed following a Premier League record 10th straight away league defeat.





“It’s always nice to score – but when you don’t get anything from the game, it means nothing,” he told www.qpr.co.uk. “It’s difficult to take.





“We got ourselves back in the game at 1-1 and then, four minutes later, they scored again. It’s not good enough, really.





“We hit the post before we scored. Then we got the penalty and equalised. We were on top. But, as a team, the second goal was a sloppy one to concede.





“You can’t get away from it, our away form needs to improve – rapidly.





“We’ve been poor on the road. We need to break our duck as soon as possible.





“We’ll continue to work as hard as we can to put things right, but it’s errors that are costing us now. The two goals we conceded were poor. That has to stop.”





QPR’s excellent home form has kept them in touch in the relegation battle, compensating for our struggles away from W12.





Manchester United now lie in wait for the R’s at Loftus Road this Saturday.





“We have to keep our home form going – whoever we play, Loftus Road is a tough place to come.





“As I said, our away form is poor and we need to continue to try and pick up three points at home every week, starting against Manchester United on Saturday.”
