Big home crowd (and small away support) expected today as they've opened up the lower School End to R's fans.

Gigi sends out an attack-minded 4-4-2 today.

Camp is in goal behind Delaney, Hall, Stewart, and Connolly. In midfield, we have Vine on the left, Rowlands on the right, and Buzsaky and Leigertwood in the middle. Blackstock and Agyemang are partnered up front.

The bench includes Mancienne, Lee, Ephraim, Crowther, and Balanta. That's young American keeper Reece Crowther's first time on the bench for the R's. I haven't heard about Cole being injured. Crowther has been assigned squad number 33.

If your wife goes into labor during the game today...will you wait until the game is over to take her to the hospital??? Or do you rush out of the house immediately to take care of the business at hand???:D She's had her breakfast and went back down for a nap, so I think I'm safe for two hours!

Audio finally working. It kept wanting to "download media rights" or something and that kept timing out. Many on qprdot.org had the same problem. Seems to have been fixed, but that's too long for World to have had that problem.

I had a couple problems with the audio as well - but I've got it going. All that matters is the scoreline! UUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRs!

[Atouk]

Buzsaky with some nice skill causes trouble for the keeper. Vine couldn't tap in a free ball.

[QPR Kevin H]

Get in!!!!!!!!

Vine taps one in!

[QPR Kevin H]

[Atouk]

Vine doesn't miss the tap-in this time!!!

Nice run by Vine, nice shot by Agyemang, Vine taps in the rebound. Excellent football from the R's!

[doolittledog2]

I'm crossing my fingers...let's not have a let down in the second half!!!

[Atouk]

We're underway in the 2nd half. Blackstock got some treatment in the first minute of the half. Sounded like he was hit in the head.

[Atouk]

Rowlands' attempt was cleared off the line after beating a handfull of players. Corner for the R's. The Barnsley keeper is receiving treatment.

[Atouk]

No keeper on the bench for Barnsley. Keeper is up and play resumes. His arm is hurting him. Nothing comes of the corner.

[Atouk]

Double substitution for Barnsley.

[Atouk]

Blackstock brought down in the box as he prepared to shoot. No penalty given. :(

[Atouk]

Connolly chipped it just over the crossbar as he attempted to play it over the out-of-position keeper.
