That's because we lost. I don't care about an accent I care about winning games. I understand Holloway has many deciples but if you lose 3-0 to a cr2p team then you should question it not turn a blind eye. It's also funny when I mention past games like Luton I am told that is in the past. I guess winning 3 protions is as well then? So lets talk now, it is not good losing 3-0 to a bad Ipswich side. Then again we have been losing to bad sides all season.
Where do you go with this type of ever decreasing circle of argument? Should Norwich, just outside of the play off places have lost to QPR? Should Newcastle have lost to Blackburn? Bad results happen, he's had 2 games and won one, lost one. Give him a chance and maybe he can get something going, or he might F it up as many have predicted, only time will tell, and he deserves some.
Then I look forward to Ollie using all that experience and sorting it all out and getting us on a charge back up the table. Yesterday sounded awful for us against an awful team. Move on and let the next game be the turnaround.
This is the problem with Holloway. He has a fan club who will never question him. If you think losing 3-0 to the worst Ipswich side for many years, a side that hasn't scored a goal in 7 games, a guy who hasn't scored since August manages to get 2 goals? If you think that is okay then you should follow netball. It's not about Holloway it's about QPR and if we lose games to cr2p teams 3-0 then I will ask why and what is the manager going to do. I don't care if the manager is Fergie or Holloway. We have something that is not working and it needs to be sorted.
Here's Clive's match report for those that couldn't make it ... Holloway's honeymoon ends early in Ipswich - Report Sunday, 27th Nov 2016 23:19 by Clive Whittingham Ian Holloway suffered a chastening 3-0 defeat at Ipswich in the second game of his QPR comeback on Saturday, despite his team dominating the first half. Not hard to find an angle on this one. Holloway’s honeymoon cut short, QPR’s longest new manager bounce of recent times over after one match, size of the task laid bare to Rangers’ new manager, perhaps even a ‘Black Friday’ pun as, on paper at least, QPR sink to a dire and comfortable defeat against a poor team in bad form. But this was actually one of those Championship matches that could easily have gone the other way entirely, despite the apparent one-sided scoreline. Seeing QPR dominate the first half of the game and yet lose 3-0 – and in truth, by the end, it could easily have been four or five – was an odd experience.

Interesting read.....and not as bad as rhe score line suggests, confidence is at an all time low...and Ollie really is going to have to earn his money, geeing them up. A few goals would certainly help
I can't understand the link made by posters on here about our current squad and Holloway It's not his side in any way at the moment and applying historical stats between two timeframes: now and yesterday is loose IMO As a game of football it looked to me from just the highlights that all three goals were fortunate but I am a QPR fan Getting a side in this division to play an away game consistently I believe takes a much longer time than one match ... its takes formation, experimentation and the most important factor has to be confidence surely ... only then can form be truly evaluated? The talk of inserting new players into any side is always speculation from us. The responsibility is Holloways in the next transfer window I agree with Watford that we should however be expecting 4 points from our next possible 6 First target on the agenda has to be to make LR a fortress ... a place where any team will find a game of football hard. Losing 3-0 away at this stage of QPR at this time with our circumstances is nothing to worry about We need to aim a lot lower and for me mid table would be fine
It's one result, just as last week doesn't prove he's the messiah. Obviously 3-0 at a crap team is worrying on the face of it but it sounds like we dominated the first half, succumbing to a flukes goal and then gifted them a second. Holloway was somewhat forced into a ropey team selection by injuries to Robinson, meaning Bidwell had to be brought straight back in when he's not a wing-back. Maybe the Finn would have been a better option. Losing Luongo, our key player IMO, and having to replace him with Henry would hinder any manager. He's still getting to know the players. It may get worse before it gets better but I do believe it will get better.
I might agree if not for the facts of the match, it wasnt a clueless and inept performance by all accounts we were on top for 2/3 of it but undone by three goals all with large amounts of luck. Sounds like the performance suffered after the second goal but that's what happens when a team has fragile confidence.
Maybe I am over reacting again and maybe people are right saying we were unlucky to lose 3-0 to a cr3p Ipswich team. However we couldn't even score? It's okay being 'unlucky' to let in 3 goals but what about our attack? was that unlucky to? Seems to be a lot of excuses of 'unlucky'. Sadly I was not at the game so I cannot say too much about the overall game and performance but what does make me ask questions is once again we are getting beaten by rubbish teams.
Maybe we too are actually a rubbish team. Could it be that our expectations and views are blinkered by our familiarity and general liking of the players (Henry and Sandro perhaps excepted)?
