They have them by the beds now. I had a great time watching Spooks and eating toast while my ex was in labour

Maybe they should incorporate goalline technology to see if the head has crossed the line.
Nick probably wants his kids to be born quickly in the breech position - get a two-footer in early doors

You're fucking mental, at 50% fit he burns himself out incredibly quickly, risks an injury and is less likely to be match fit for Barnsley.
This isn't FIFA

Shipley at cdm contributed to costing us the game last week I don’t ever want to see him play there again he’s not a holding player he don’t tackle for one

It's fine, put a fitness card on Sheaf and if he gets an injury we can buy an injury card too! Seriously, some people are on another planet...

Yep, my missus was in labour for 40 hrs. Awful to watch them go through that.
Good luck though Great Expectations...hope it goes well and mum and baby are well and healthy once it's all done with.

For the Barnsley game, I’d start Sheaf and Hamer. This game however, Sheaf is probably best used coming off the bench in the second half, replacing Shipley or Hamer if he starts losing his head. 90 minutes on Tuesday, I’m sure MR would’ve taken him off had he planned to start him today.

- QPR hit 67 goals last term and started this season brightly
- However, the Rs conceded 76 times last term
- Both teams have scored in four of QPR’s last five games
Coventry’s return to the Championship saw them lose at Bristol City on Saturday, a result they followed with an EFL Cup defeat on penalties at Gillingham. Now the Sky Blues play their first home game of the season, although they aren’t really at home. They are still playing their games at Birmingham’s St Andrew’s Stadium.
That didn’t impact the Sky Blues too much last term when they produced some impressive results in their home matches. However, can they pick up a result as they return to the ground for the first time since March?
QPR looking sharp
The visitors head to this clash on the back of an impressive win over Nottingham Forest. While the Rs lost key man Eberechi Eze in the summer, they looked sharp up top in their 2-0 win over Forest. New signing Lyndon Dykes hit the opener for Ilias Chair – who is expected to step up without Eze – fired in the second.
QPR were a great side to watch last season, as they scored an impressive 67 goals but had one of the worst defences in the league, shipping 76 goals. They have done little to boost their backline but clearly have options in attack, so the Rs are likely to be the league’s entertainers once again. We can see that in their recent games, with both teams scoring in four of their last five competitive matches.
Rs picking up
The visitors were dreadful during the restart, but their late flourish means they are now four games unbeaten, although that run has produced just one clean sheet. While the visitors may not be the most solid at the back still, they are starting to impress. Away to a Coventry side playing in a rented stadium with no fans in support you have to say that the Rs have a good chance of getting something.
The Sky Blues have scored in all three of their games so far, with the last two seeing both teams score. They failed to keep a clean sheet through six preseason friendlies and they won’t be nearly as solid as last term against Championship opposition. However, Coventry were able to create 16 chances at playoff hopefuls Bristol City, so we are backing both teams to score here. With the Rs going four unbeaten in the league, our correct score prediction is a 1-1 draw.

It was a poorly defended corner. Yes, by Shipley. But the position he was playing had no bearing on the position he took up at the corner.Shipley at cdm contributed to costing us the game last week I don’t ever want to see him play there again he’s not a holding player he don’t tackle for one
This is hard to call, QPR are a decent team. Coventry played quite well against Bristol City, but this won’t be easy, I’m going for a 2-2 draw, Godden and Walker to score for Coventry. I think QPR will go 1-0 up, then Cov will fight back to go 2-1 up, then QPR will equalise. I hope I’m wrong, but I think we will take time to adjust to this league, and this game won’t be any different. The championship is a big step up from league one.

Yeah and i think that's a reasonable question. If you think it won't be a struggle for survival this season you really are on another planet.Are you the guy who made a thread after Bristol hame asking how many points for survival

Nah mate, just load an older save if we're doing badly.
Yeah, I agree with this, it’s gonna be tough for this team to adjust to the championship. We need to be realistic, the games against bottom half teams are the ones we need to prioritise, especially the likes of Luton, Barnsley, Huddersfield, Reading, Sheffield Wednesday, Wycombe and Rotherham who will be fighting relegation. We are in that mini league, so these are the games that will most likely define our season. I’m confident of survival though still, I’ve predicted Cov to finish 18th.

I have a good feeling that we'll get the win tonight and play well. Basically lump on QPR. Claus Jorgensen to get the first with a diving header.
Can I have some of that optimism?

We are a good football team. If we can command possession of the ball I fancy us. O'Hare had a promising start v Bristol. Him and Allen can do real damage I'm sure.Can I have some of that optimism?

I hope you’re right. Tbh, I’m just hoping we can get a draw then beat Barnsley. I have a better feeling about the Barnsley game.

4 points would be an excellent return however it comes. The first win is always big, especially when promoted. Will hopefully be a big confidence boost and reassure them that they belong at that level.

Come on this is City, we’re just as likely to hammer QPR and lose to Barnsley.
