Coventry Match Thread

Only their second league game after a 6 month lay off. Need to get them chasing the ball as they won't be fully match fit.

Our win against Forest didn't fill me with confidence. It was a case of them being particularly bad as apposed to us being really good. That said, I think this squad has something about it and hopefully we'll build on our previous performance. I'm going 2-0 Coventry because it's so early in the season anything goes.

Shame we can't watch on QPR+

I'm not sure I agree with that. Yes, Grabban should probably have scored a couple but we could equally have scored more. We competed very well with them and weren't obviously the poorer side IMO. As I said previously, fine margins.

Coventry will be without skipper Liam Kelly for their first 'home' fixture of the season against QPR.

Midfielder Kelly sustained a hamstring injury in last Saturday's defeat at Bristol City, but is expected to return to contention next week.

Summer signings Julien Dacosta (ankle) and Marcel Hilssner (asthma) both remain unavailable for QPR's visit to St Andrew's.

Centre-half Michael Rose (hip) will be assessed, while wingers Jodi Jones (knee) and Will Bapaga (shoulder), goalkeeper Ben Wilson (wrist), defender Fankaty Dabo (knee) and midfielder Wes Jobello (hip) are all out.


QPR boss Mark Warburton revealed his squad is "all fit and well" following last weekend's impressive 2-0 home win against Nottingham Forest.

Defender Ryan Manning was left out of the squad last week as his protracted contract talks continue and it remains to be seen if the Irishman will be included.

Warburton handed league debuts to summer signings Rob Dickie, Tom Carroll and Lyndon Dykes against Forest and they are likely to continue.

Midfielders Paul Smyth and George Thomas, plus defender Dominic Ball are among those pushing for a starting place.



Wow Coventry are fit

Okay, I can see why what I said doesn't make sense. What I was trying to articulate was that it is too early in the season to read into a win or loss.

Short of Manning committing to the squad, continue to leave him in the stands. Hopeful team can convince BOS to extend for one or two years with the understanding we will never stand in his way if a great offer comes his way after this campaign.

Also keeping my fingers crossed we keep Battache, while Oteh is farmed out.

Need two more strikers to gives the depth to compete over a 46 game slog.

I didn't think we were the poorer side, but a performance like that against a better side wouldn't have got us 3 points imo. I think I can be a bit overly critical of the team.

So you picked us to lose, ok if I pick us to win and we both hope your wrong.

But if the better side had a howler, bet we would win 4 nil and I would find a score on me way home.

I was with you until you said you'd find a score on the way home. Your previous form doesn't fill me with confidence. We'd be relying on someone being bad at keeping hold of their stuff, not you being good at finding things.

I think my ego can allow that.
