60 minutes gone and Oxford have been the better team in the 2nd half. Just about all the attacking has been from them but we have just managed a corner.
Charlie Kelman with a decent shot but it was saved by the keeper.
All over 2 -0
Watching the Barnsley game (full 90 mins) whilst monitoring this game. It was odd that at half time we ere 2-0 down against Barnsley and 2-0 up against Oxford; and it seems we improved against Barnsley and went the other way against Oxford! Anyway, a win is a win; so onto the Third Round...
Rob Dickie was brilliant again tonight and another positive was Mccallum getting minutes.
I suspect that Mccallum will be eager to play against his old team mates on Saturday and if there are no ill effects from tonight I can see him at least getting a place on the bench.

I think they were playing well within themselves in that 2nd half. I reckon that Warburton said to just manage the game and try and control things without exerting too much energy.
Oxford had a few shots but apart from a couple on target I don't think Archer was too troubled. The second was a bit boring really but they got the result. The icing for me would have been Kelman getting a goal but it wasnt to be. If he can get a goal from open play his confidence should be sky high.

Brilliant win, I love the cups and hope we take the next round more seriously than we did against Blackpool the last time we made it to the 3rd round in 2018.
Let's hope for a good draw tomorrow night. I'd like another lower league team and try to progress (preferably one away in the north west, I see Wigan have just won on penalties! )
QPR make it 8 games unbeaten in all competitions, our best unbeaten run in over 10 years, since a streak of 10 unbeaten from January to March 2011

For all your efforts in organising this site I hope you get that match up your way northwesthoop.

Love the stat northwesthoop (I feel you will ensure there is one on your tombstone when that happens many years from now)!
Well into the 3rd Round we go and, given our spate of injuries, the squad has done very well. As stoatey mentioned it would have been great for Kelman to score, but we should celebrate Dickie's contributions!!
QPR will now play 6 games in just 18 days between 11th and 28th September.
7 in 22 days between the international breaks overall.
There must be a chance the West Brom match that Sky have chosen for 24th September will be moved. It would be common sense, otherwise it really hampers our chances in the cup. However, there is already a Sky match at 12.30 on the Saturday. They could move us back to 5.30 on the Saturday... although we play again the following Tuesday.
A real test of our squad. Any more injuries in that phase of the season and we'll be struggling.

I don't want to tempt fate but Dickie's form must be attracting interest. Should a Premiership team make a big bid I'm not sure that TF could refuse. The 31/8 cant come soon enough.
