Hopefully today we can replicate a similar scoreline to that magic FA Cup moment 103 years ago:- Birmingham 1–2 Queens Park Rangers 21 February 1914
Nice to see us with 8 shots, 4 on target, while Brum are firing blanks 5/0. Now let's please make it to HT with the lead. + 5 mins injury time.
HT 0 -1 - there was an injury in injury time - hopefully Lynch is okay? 45'+3' Delay in match Joel Lynch (Queens Park Rangers) because of an injury. 45'+3' Foul by Ryan Shotton (Birmingham City). 45'+3' Joel Lynch (Queens Park Rangers) wins a free kick in the defensive half.
QPR have accumulated 14 points in 15 league games under Ian Holloway, an average of 0.93 points per game. Before his arrival, they averaged 1.25 points (20 in 16 games). Let's make it 17 out of 16.
Volley in from a corner...sounds like Manning tried something fancy that didn't work out and the defenders tried to clear but Washington smacked it in on the volley...brilliant start!
Of course Brum will have to score a spoiler to provide us with some squeaky bum time. We have previously experienced good fortune playing here though.
