    Adel Taarabt cut a forlorn figure as he sat back in the Directors Box at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon after witnessing his team-mates suffer defeat at the hands of close rivals Chelsea.
    The Moroccan midfielder looked on from the West Stand as his team-mates were sent crashing back down to earth following victory against Spurs the previous weekend with a 6-1 defeat down the Kings Road.
    Taarabt - who bagged the winner against Tottenham, only to be later sent off for two bookable offences - missed the fixture at Stamford Bridge owing to a one match ban.
    Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk on Tuesday morning, however, Taarabt - ever the optimist - believes that defeat at the Bridge needs to be forgotten about as the R's focus on Sunday's visit of Stoke City to Loftus Road.
    "We have to forget that game now," he said.
    "It was obviously very difficult to watch, but it is over now and we have to move on.
    "Chelsea have just beaten Barcelona, arguably the greatest Club in the world, over two legs to reach the Champions League Final, so we knew it would be difficult.
    "Obviously the manner of the defeat hurt us and the fans - who were brilliant, even singing at 6-0 down - as well, but we have to believe we can still stay up."
    He added: "The most important thing for us now is to focus on Stoke.
    "We have no choice but to win that game.
    "Our home form, where we're backed superbly by our fans, has been excellent lately and we need another big performance this weekend.
    "It isn't finished yet and we still believe we can do it."

    One game at a time, Stoke is THE must-win game, Spurs can give us the boost for that...

    It was the cup match at WHL that was abandoned - this one is at Bolton
