Mick Harford believes the belief is back in the QPR camp after our maiden victory of the season against Norwich City last time out.
Fellow East Anglian outfit Ipswich Town visit Loftus Road in the Championship tomorrow (Saturday) and the R's Caretaker Manager is in buoyant mood.
"There is a real belief now that we can turn a corner and get a few wins under our belt," he told www.qpr.co.uk.
"It seems a long time since we played Norwich and in a way it would have been nice to have the Ipswich fixture sooner, but the break has given the lads who were carrying knocks a bit of time to recover. But now I am glad the game is upon us."
Harford has earmarked another clean sheet as the key to victory ahead of the visit of the Tractor Boys, although he is honest enough to admit it won't be easy against an Ipswich side riding high in the top half of the Championship table.
"The key to the win over Norwich was the clean sheet. It was our first clean sheet of the season and the base for a good result," said Harford.
"I thought we defended very well in that match, and going forward we looked dangerous. We created a lot of chances, which was pleasing."
Harford added: "Jim Magilton likes his sides to get the ball down and move it around quickly, and Ipswich are a good footballing team.
"We've worked hard with the players today on Ipswich's strengths and weaknesses."
Rangers could welcome key defender Michael Mancienne back to the fold against Ipswich. The Chelsea loanee, who has been sidelined for six weeks with a back / hamstring injury, completed 45 minutes for the Reserves on Tuesday afternoon and is pushing for a first team recall.
Fellow defender Chris Barker could also start, after returning to full training following a hernia operation, but Danny Nardiello (hamstring) and Marc Nygaard (calf) remain doubts.
Dexter Blackstock has joined long term injury victims Pat Kanyuka (thigh) and Simon Walton (fractured fibula) on the sidelines, as the R's goal-getter works his way back from a knee operation.
Despite Blackstock's absence, Harford is tipping another front-man, Birmingham City loanee Rowan Vine, to shine on Saturday afternoon, commenting: "Rowan adds another dimension to us in attack, and I've been happy with the number of chances we've been creating.
"We could have scored a few more goals against Norwich and I'm confident we'll create a similar number of chances again on Saturday."
Ipswich have injury concerns of their own. Blues skipper Jason De Vos will have a late fitness test on a knee injury and if he misses out, either Alex Bruce or Chris Casement are likely to deputise.
However, Richard Naylor could return after recovering from a foot tendon injury.
