    Exactly Col. Are we not fans if we question decisions on a internet forum? Are we not fans if we leave a game early? Are we not fans even if we do want the manager to go? Turn the coin over. Are we fans if we are happy to lose? Are we fans if we don' say a word at not winning away for God knows how long? Are we fans if we don' mind slipping down the league? We are all on here cos we are QPR fans. I personally do have expectations of my club as I believe every fan does. My expectations are to progress season after season. Yes we have fight and desire that's great but if you still can' win games with that then what else can you call upon?

    Agree. Maybe going 4 5 1 away from home is a flexible formation he will persevere with. We didn't do so bad with 4 4 1 for sixty something minutes yesterday.

    We play hoofball nearly every week from 60 to 70 minutes onwards DT. It' when we are chasing a game and bring Smith on. My point is, if that's Holloways tactic then why not start like that? Personally I don't like or appreciate that style but we haven' got many options

    I guess Ollie has questioned the same and gone 3 5 2 moat of this season, with I agree with you, I think the wrong 2 up front. But when we haven't won away in nearly a year, 4 5 1 doesn't look so stupid, apart from again the striker and wide man selections.

    Fully agree.

    4:2:3:1 is a sensible solution.

    Play a big guy upfront and we gave two. Play wingers and we have several. Plus we can play our midfield trio.

    The back four may be an issue because of injuries, but we have a spare defensive midfielder in Ariel Borysiuk. Does anyone remember him?

    Not sure we are strong enough to dictate games yet? We have to grow into each game I have seen. The team looks pumped but as you know that does win games
    He said from the start he wanted to establish the right mental attitude and align that with the work rate ... to that Holloway has succeeded imo. Instant potato v jersey royals

    I am very impressed with the current squad Holloway has put together from nothing under difficult circumstances. Scowen is a real surprise . Robertson and Freeman looking great
    We have more than enough

    Washington Smith Mackie Syla must not try harder they need to relax more

    17th is a progression in league position DT yes. I know the margins and believe these could be narrowed even more with the correct tactics and less tinkering. 26 games left. How many away wins do you reckon we will Get?

    They did try to get him on right after they scored but it took minutes because the ball wasn't dead, so the Commentator said.

    I see the lads nearly held out
    It was heartbreaking just 2 minutes away
    That by the way is not bad away from home with 10 men ... still didn’t do it so can understand the reaction
    A point away from home with ten men to me spells resilience... pretty sure it that had been achieved then there would of been no hint that Holloway had lost the dressing room

    Fine margins

    Plenty more bollocks where that came from

    No one thinks he's lost the dressing room yet.
