Matt Smith scored two for QPR

Jordan Cousins’ goal – his first for QPR – with 10 minutes remaining turned up the pressure on Birmingham.And after Craig Gardner was adjudged to have fouled Luke Freeman, Wells had the chance to complete the comeback but was unable to beat Camp.Rotherham United 1-1 Wigan AthleticStrugglers Rotherham and Wigan had to settle for a point in a 1-1 draw when victory could have done wonders for both sides’ confidence.A point apiece seemed fair in a match which was held up for several minutes following a nasty injury to Wigan skipper and January recruit Danny Fox.Rotherham took advantage of Wigan’s enforced defensive reshuffle with Clark Robertson rising highest to nod them in front on 28 minutes from Will Vaulks’ centre.The visitors responded swiftly with Josh Windass ghosting his way into the box and firing beyond Marek Rodak into the bottom corner for a 32nd-minute leveller.5
