Chris Sedgwick reckons it could be Preston North End's last throw of the automatic promotion dice at Loftus Road.
Preston North End had their wings clipped at Leeds on Friday, and the Deepdale midfielder said: "Tuesday is a must-win game – we can't afford any more mistakes."
Sedgwick added: "You can dress it up how you like. We have to win at QPR.

Preston boss Paul Simpson could have three key men back for Tuesday night's crucial Championship clash with QPR at Loftus Road.
Utility man Callum Davidson had to be replaced at half-time in the 2-1 defeat to Leeds with a groin problem but could feature against John Gregory's side after responding well to treatment.
Full-back Matt Hill (hamstring) and skipper Graham Alexander (thigh) both missed out at Elland Road but could be in the frame to face Rangers.
Definitely sidelined is midfielder Paul McKenna, who has just started full training again following hernia surgery and should be in contention for the Easter weekend.
