QPR took the lead four minutes before half-time through a Lydon Dykes penalty, but Coventry hit straight back with a Matty Godden header on the stroke of the break.

Second-half goals from Callum O’Hare and Kyle McFadzean were enough to give the home side the points, despite a Yoann Barbet response.

Robins said after the game: “We took a bit of time to get going. We were just getting used to the speed, maybe that was a surprise. QPR are expansive and we didn’t cope with it well.

“The penalty was harsh and the set-piece they scored from could have been avoided.

“We looked a little bit shellshocked in the first half, Championship football is quicker than League One and there’s not many in our team who have experienced that – and QPR are a difficult side to play against.

“O’Hare’s goal was outstanding and we managed to make plenty of chances. A good evening’s football, I’m delighted.”
