The Coca Cola Championship
Loftus Road Stadium
Attendance: 13,712
Referee: M J Jones
Queens Park Rangers 2-2 Coventry City
By The Godfather
Queens Park Rangers starting line-up: Cerny, Hall, Leigertwood, Routledge, Buzsaky, Watson, Connolly, Faurlin, Simpson, Borrowdale, Taraabt.
Coventry City starting line-up: Westwood, Wright, Bell, Best, Morrison, Van Aanholt, Gunnarsson, Cork, McIndoe, Barnett, Wood.
In my match preview of this fixture, I predicted a home victory. Perhaps I was being too optimistic given that QPR have only beaten Coventry once in the last four years. In truth, they’re becoming a bit of a bogey team for the Super Hoops.
Saturday’s match was an entertaining, but ultimately frustrating encounter. QPR dominated large periods of the game and certainly deserved to win. However, poor finishing in front of goal and some dreadful defending from Hall and Connolly meant that Coventry City, who were reduced to ten men five minutes from time, were able to salvage a draw. I’m afraid that this was another case of two points dropped rather than one gained.
