QPR -- 20th, 27 GP, -9 GD, 30 points v. Barnsley -- 15th, 27 GP, -5 GD, 34 points ------ 19 January 2007 15:00 Loftus Road ------ 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??? Go u R's!!! Supah Hoopsa!!! That last one is for my wife...she likes that saying!!!
Goal Agyemang! Second in two games!!! Headed goal by Patrick Agyemang(QPR) (bottom-right of goal) from right side of six-yard box (6 yards).QPR 1-0 Barnsley. Assist (pass) by Dexter Blackstock(QPR) from left channel.
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.
[R] in this thread for other English games today. Sheff Wed beat Sheff United 2-0 in the early game. Blackpool leads Ipswich, 1-0. Coventry 1-1 Burnley. Palace leads Bristol City, 1-0. Southampton leads at Plymouth, 1-0. Wolves lead at Scunthorpe, 1-0. Stoke leads Preston, 2-0. Cardiff has a 2-1 lead at West Brom.
I had a couple problems with the audio as well - but I've got it going. All that matters is the scoreline! UUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRs!
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! 2-0!!! UUURRRRRs!
QPR 2-0 Barnsley HALF TIME Nice half, Rangers! 2 goal lead, no shots on target for Barnsley (according to World's match tracker). Good stuff.
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.
Rowlands' attempt was cleared off the line after beating a handfull of players. Corner for the R's. The Barnsley keeper is receiving treatment.
No keeper on the bench for Barnsley. Keeper is up and play resumes. His arm is hurting him. Nothing comes of the corner.
Connolly chipped it just over the crossbar as he attempted to play it over the out-of-position keeper.
Another corner for the R's. Cardiff is now 3-1 up at West Brom. Plymouth and Southampton are now level, 1-1.
Anyone know if Mahon or Ainsworth or Ephraim are injured (or suspended)? Or just not in the 16 today? I'm not used to us being this deep! 10-man Ipswich has scored to draw level at Blackpool.
The commentator just said that Mahon had a throat infection this week and that's why he's not in the 16. Rohan Ricketts, who was briefly on loan to the R's last year, enters as Barnsley's final sub. He replaces Martin Devaney. Diego Leon was replaced by Istvan Ferenczi and Michael Coulson was replaced by Kayode Odejayi in that 54th minute double sub.
Best chance of the day by Barnsley in the 71st minute. Kayode Odejayi went wide left from about 6 yards.
