SKIPPER TRAVIS IS TOPS FOR EUSTACE...

Travis spent last season on loan after falling out of favour with previous coach Jon Dahl Tomasson, but has been an ever-present this season under Eustace and marked his 200th career league start with the second-half opener – his second in as many home games.

Danny Batth’s first for the club after the hour settled the contest that had been very much even until Jonathan Varane’s reckless challenge in first-half stoppage time earned him a straight red card and gave QPR a whole half to play a man down.

It was too big a task as Rovers broke through to make it four straight wins at home for the first time since March 2023 to go third. Afterwards, Eustace spoke of his captain’s influence.
