STEVEN Caulker admits the players owe the QPR fans a performance this weekend when they host Manchester United at Loftus Road.





The R’s recorded their tenth consecutive Premier League defeat on the road with a 2-1 loss at Burnley last Saturday, and Caulker told www.qpr.co.uk: “We know we owe our travelling fans a performance.





“We are all bitterly disappointed with the result at Burnley. We knew going into the game that it was going to be a tough battle and we flattered to deceive. We well under-performed.





“We are into the back-end of the season now and we know we have to pick up points home and away. It’s important we start getting some results.”





Louis van Gaal’s United come to W12 chasing third spot in the table, while Rangers need the points as they look to pull themselves clear of the relegation zone.





Currently in 19th spot, a win could put the R’s level on points with Everton in 12th.





“The table is so tight,” Caulker added. “To concede so late on against Swansea recently was really tough to take because we knew those two extra points would have us sitting in mid-table, but that’s the swings and roundabouts of football.





“This United game is a big one for us. At home our form in the league has been good and we want to maintain that.





“The fans have made Loftus Road a hard place to come. It’s such a tight pitch so you can really hear them. We’ve got to keep that going.





“We know a result against United will have the table looking a lot healthier and set us up much better for going into the back-end of the season.”





Despite facing a team that is challenging for a Champions League spot, Caulker is clear as to how the R’s will be approaching this weekend’s fixture.





“This is a game we’re looking to win,” he said. “Regardless of what team comes to Loftus Road, that’s how we look at it.





“We’ve done well to make it a bit of a fortress and we won’t be paying United too much respect, we’re going after all three points.





“We have been at our best when we have taken the game to the opposition. When we try to sit in, that’s when we concede goals. When we play on the front foot, everyone is at it, the crowd are behind us, we play with passion and heart, and we get the result we deserve.





“And that’s how we’ll be going into it on Saturday.”
