Coventry v QPR | Match Thread

[Dono77]

Maybe worth a try Dono, but I think Madsen is one of the casualties of Chair doing it all on his own and pulling things out of shape. If my memory serves me well, our best run last season was when we had our worst injury list, which included Chair.

Fair one. I don't really get the obsession with Chair. A good player but not a great one. Never seems to be able to put in 2 good performances in a row. Seems to #### a lot of his teammates off by either throwing his arms up when he doesn't get the ball or takes it all on himself.

Think we've been the best of him by now. Not sure where he fits in to this system. He doesn't influence the game enough imo. Bags of talent but he needs a tag partner. A la willock. Not sure who that person is for Illy in our current side???

There's a train strike affecting "Cross Country" services (whatever that is) this Saturday. If you're getting a train I'd check you're not affected.

1700ish tickets sold thus far. That's kind of low based on past few seasons... three seasons ago 4000, 3500 season before last and not sure last season but was a midweek TV game.

Yes, folks will say it's still holiday season and it's expensive but nevertheless it's a big drop off from our recent Saturday turnouts there and I would suggest indicative of fans not being particularly enthused with the "state of the QPR nation" at the moment. Or, maybe just bored with going to Cov..... we've been stuck in Championship so long there is a feeling of "meh" about a lot of games now.

I've got a ticket but cant say I'll be travelling with a spring in my step though.

Reckon it will be around the 2k mark come sat. Might have been a bit more if we had a fully fit squad to choose from. Seems like there will only be a couple of changes. Dunne and Varane will start. Maybe esquerdinha too??

Either start kone and burrell on at 60 mins. If not then vice versa if they don't think kone has an hour in him. Mind u even our so called match fit players seem to blowing out of their ar5se after an hour!!

Similar start to last season looked so far off the fitness of other sides

I’m going tomorrow only hour from pboro but could well be battering

"Varane, 23, picked up an injury during pre-season. He made his first appearance of the campaign off the bench against Watford at Vicarage Road last time out. In this latest update regarding his condition, Stephan has told the official club website: “Joe returned on the pitch, and now I think he’s able to start the game because he did a full week this week.”

Same for me. Only just over an hour from me ij northants. Still trying to work out where to park plus what pub away fans can use.

Any recommendations for parking guys? Free parking if possible too!! Lol!! Looks a pain to find off street parking around the ground. Gonna have to park and walk a bit to the ground.

Let's hope we can start to see some kind of pattern/ shape developing tomorrow. Not confident that we can expect too much result wise but we need to start developing a style and method that will play to our strengths. I know we have had serious injuries but we can't keep going into games the way we do.

1847 tickets sold - enough to make a racket and give Fat Frank a noisy shitbagging.

Don I don't know about your parking but I'm expecting rangers to park the bus, so won't be much room. Fingers crossed for a 0-0. Varane should help the defence

I don't mind a 20-30min walk from car to ground. My usual M.O. is to drive right up to the stadium, do a U-turn and set SatNav to home. I then dive in the first free space I find along that route (might involve diving down the odd side road for a quick look). I figure that after the game I'm then on the "right side" of the ground to join the homeward bound traffic.

Hopefully play a more balanced team than last weeks starting line up.Hopefully plays the left back Esq and. Dunne comes in.Morgan in the middle and Varane,hook Maddison out,play Smyth instead of Dembele and stick Nardi in ,Kone up front..And sto the stupid goal kicks pissing around at the back.Maybe we will have a little chance to get something,otherwise the results ominous.

Chair not even a sub. Is ge injured or ... Madsen and Imbengue are also dropped.
