Well that was edge of the seat stuff last night against Birmingham, who look like a good side, and a draw was a good result. Leaving aside the supreme efforts of each goalkeeper, the most impressive outfield player was Jay Stansfield, on loan from Fulham. Stansfield was apparently a target for Gareth Ainsworth, and you can only dream about how much better we would be with him in the squad...
Anyway, back to our next opponents - Coventry. They are fellow strugglers at the start of the Championship season, along with Huddersfield (minus Neil Warnock) who they are playing on Monday. We were beaten 0-3 in the fixture last season and we need to do better! Here are the stats (updated after Plymouth's mammoth win put them on 10 points):
QPR......, LWLDD 8pts 18th GD= -5
Coventry DDDDL 7pts 19th GD= +1
Given that JCS has yet to do a decent stint in his recovery, I doubt either he or Dunne will start; and the on/off saga with Reggie Cannon must guarantee Kakay starting again. In the middle I am assuming Colback's suspension has another match to run? So, that means Dozzell & Field in the middle with Chair and Smythe alongside, but what about Sinclair and Willock? I believe Dykes will start, with Willock supporting and Armstrong held back as a replacement for Dykes on 60 mins.

I was frightened every time they attacked on the left and Fox certainly had an off day. To be fair, since he and Cook have come in they have had to endure continual attacks. It is time for both to have a break I would have thought, but let's get JCS active covering one and then in the following game perhaps JCS in the middle and Larkeche on the left...?
