I didn't say that I thought he'd lost the dressing room. I was putting it out there that eventually the players will get totally fed up with all the different tactics, formations and being played out of position.
I agree that Ollie has got them fighting which I've said repeatedly.
The problem is that certain people on here like to WUM and stir the pot. They say that those of us that criticise Ollie for his selections and tactics are actually saying that he should be sacked etc. I've never said that he should be sacked................yet.

Most players, especially the type of players we have, generally like routine and to know what their jobs are. They must get confused at times and I just want Ollie to simplify things till we get up the league at least.

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.

Bob isn't clueless and he agrees with me. That's good enough for me.

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.

It's hard to see who will play in defence next week. Baptiste out, Onuoha, Perch, Furlong, Hamalainen, Lynch and Hall all injured or ill. The only two regulars available are two left backs Robinson and Bidwell. I wonder if Caulker can help us out?

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?

17th should do you then ?

You should know the margins
26 games left !

My definition of a fan shouldn’t be worth anymore or any less. But on this forum which I use just to vent ... same as anyone I see some patterns and some very fickle fans

20 games in from no expectations and we what do we get ... expectations and calls for change to change what? Oh that would be new expectations because we are about to be relegated with 26 games left ! Jesus

We then tactical ideas and opinions ... fine
They certainly give me a laugh

Scapegoats are then next ... the blame game

I seriously think we are on a par with Arsenal supporters when it comes to the moaners league. If people can’t see the decline of the QPR fan base then they are blind

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?
 
Staines R's said:
Can someone tell me why Sylla was brought on at 95 mins yesterday when we were losing ?
Am I missing something ?

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.

Oslo answered mate, makes more sense now.

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

Stop wumming.

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