Blackburn boss John Eustace spoke to BBC Radio Lancashire after his side conceded in the 76th minute to lose 2-1 at Queens Park Rangers.

"We've been very good defensively at set-pieces, but we weren't good enough at the start," he said, reflecting on Michael Frey's fifth-minute header to open the scoring.

"I had a little word with the boys before the second half, but they sorted it out themselves as well.

"The manner of the second goal was really disappointing. We should have done better on the second phase of the attack and we've got to put our bodies on the line to keep the ball out of the net.

"It's a really tough place to come when they raise the tempo here. We had some great moments but we just weren't clinical enough. We conceded a couple of really sloppy goals.

"A draw would have been a fair result and we would have taken 1-1. There are 15 games to go now and we can't look backwards. We've got to learn to keep the ball out of the net."
