BBC - Doncaster 2 - 0 QPR
Billy Sharp scored his fourth goal in five games as Doncaster overcame QPR to record their second win in 12 matches.
The on-loan striker met a Quinton Fortune cross to put Rovers in front with a close-range finish.
Dean Shiels capitalised on a mix-up in the Rangers defence to score the second with a deflected strike that looped over the helpless Radek Cerny.
Adel Taarabt had QPR's only shot on target but his free-kick was comfortably saved by Neil Sullivan.

Doncaster manager Sean O'Driscoll told BBC Radio Sheffield:
"They are a good team, QPR and I thought we deserved it. I don't think they can come off the pitch feeling we were lucky.
"Our discipline was good and our organisation was really good, and against a team which I have seen open up teams and score some great goals.
"Overall, we've ticked all the boxes today which is good."
QPR manager Jim Magilton:
"I'm very disappointed for both goals. We were architects of our own downfall in some ways.
"I thought it was an even game, but at times we looked lethargic, as if we had had two weeks off. We looked like we had lads who had been reading nice things about themselves.
"We had opportunities and moments, but Doncaster are a good side and we didn't take our chances.
"For the last half-hour it was as poor as they have played for me. I can't be too hard on them because they have been very good until now."

A fantastic piece of footage for you.
Doncaster chairman John Ryan has hailed manager Sean O’Driscoll’s current side as “the best Doncaster Rovers side bar none” after the Championship side turned in a superb second half display against promotion-chasing QPR at the Keepmoat Stadium on Saturday. The highlight of their 2-nil win was a brilliant 34-pass move which left the visitors chasing shadows amidst the cries of “Ole!” from the adoring home crowd.
Ryan said: “Having watched Doncaster Rovers since February 1958, I can say in all the years, I have never seen such a complete performance as against QPR in the second half. Bearing in mind the quality of our opponents on Saturday, to produce such slick passing that completely bewildered our illustrious visitors was breathtaking. The 34-pass move was only halted by a dirty tackle or we may have scored from a move that took most of the team in. This move summed up the style of football we play. So hopefully more people will come and watch this scintillating football from the best Doncaster Rovers side bar none.”
