    That's it for tonight, but make sure to come back again tomorrow for a full day of football coverage on the BBC across TV, radio and online. It's going to be a good one.

    Until then, have a nice evening. Coventry fans, I'm sure, will certainly have a good evening.

    FT: Coventry 3-2 QPR

    Coventry skipper and match-winner Kyle McFadzean tells Sky Sports:

    "You can see from tonight we're good enough to step up and I think we've got a good chance this year of doing all right.

    "We've got a good group and good team spirit and [that] can go a long way."

    FT: Coventry 3-2 QPR

    If you stuck with this game after a really low key first 30 minutes, I'm pleased for you. You were rewarded with five goals! That was hard to imagine after the early stages, wasn't it?

    FT: Coventry 3-2 QPR

    The Sky Blues came from behind, and then showed good fighting spirit to bounce back again after conceding an equaliser as QPR made it 2-2 against the run of play. They kept going and found the winner.

    Mark Robins will be a happy man.

    As for QPR, they'll be disappointed they weren't able to create more with the large amount of possession that they had, and their defending was a bit sloppy in the moments when it really mattered.

    Coventry 3-2 QPR

    Oh no! It's a great chance, on the edge of the box, for QPR substitute Dominic Ball, but his goal-bound effort is inadvertently blocked by his own team-mate, Lyndon Dykes. They look so frustrated at that.

    Ben Sheaf comes on for Jordan Shipley and that's Coventry's first change of the game, in the 90th minute.

    You have to say, on the balance of play since half-time, Coventry probably deserve that.

    Kyle McFadzean

    This time the header finds the back of the net! Kyle McFadzean may have missed a good chance a few moments ago but this time he times his jump perfectly to meet Gustavo Hamer's corner and he seems to hang in the air as he guides a header in to the corner.

    McFadzean roars with delight as he gets his first Sky Blues goal.

    QPR's second and third changes see Luke Amos and Ilias Chair replaced by Dominic Ball and George Thomas.

    Can they find a winner?

    Coventry 2-2 QPR

    Here's another aerial chance for Coventry but Dominic Hyam's downward header is saved by Joe Lumley.

    The hosts are going for it.

    At the other end, Kyle McFadzean heads over for the hosts, from Gustavo Hamer's right-wing corner. Big chance.

    McFadzean was just leaning back a bit, it was a fraction behind him, which made it tougher than it looked.

    Coventry 2-2 QPR

    That's Frenchman Yoann Barbet's first QPR goal and it could set up a fascinating final 15 minutes.

    Yoann Barbet

    QPR are back on level terms through a super finish from centre-half Yoann Barbet - he takes it like a born number nine!

    The Rangers corner comes in from their left and Coventry don't deal with it well. Two players go for the same header and the ball bounces to an unmarked Barbet at the back stick and he lashes home with style.

    Coventry 2-1 QPR

    Coventry break really quickly as Jamie Allen shows a burst of pace down the right and he picks out Gustavo Hamer's run, but Hamer's rising shot flies just wide.

    Needing some inspiration, the visitors take off Tom Carroll and on comes Northern Ireland's Paul Smyth.

    It's hard to see what part - if any - of this second half QPR will be pleased with so far.

  20. YELLOW CARD (QPR)published at 66 mins

    Coventry 2-1 QPR

    The visitors' Ilias Chair cynically tugs back Callum O'Hare to prevent O'Hare starting a counter attack and that's a clear yellow.
