Jimmy. He is tarnishing his past record and all the great work he did last time around and this can only end in tears which is a shame and no one wants that.

You're right mate. It is unfortunate but he's so out of depth as a manager these days it's a joke. No wonder he had a meltdown at Palace & skulked off to Sky tv. He just isn't manager material any more!

He's finished.

His choice of number has not helped either. They failed at Millwall so why should they succeed here? I like Holloway and loved what he did for us in the past but right now the signs are our club is in serious danger of slipping down the leagues.

Starting to think the same mate.

We have better players than last season but our record is as bad & not getting any better. What does that tell you?!!

Why are we signing these promising youngsters and seeing home-grown talent flourish in the U23's if they're all being frozen out of the first team when it's consistently under-performing, and when the club/DoF don't practice what it preaches about its 'pathways' doctrine - is my question?

[West Acton]

Is Les picking the team then??

No but as DoF he does have an influence - hence his / the club's 'pathways' doctrine.

Imagine uproar if he was influencing team selection!!!!! This is one thing he can’t be fingered with we really need to stop looking for things to blame and tar Les with.

If the club has pathway which manager does not toe the line with change the manager outside interference not the answer

Think you missed my main point a bit mate - which was:

"Why are we signing these promising youngsters and seeing home-grown talent flourish in the U23's if they're all being frozen out of the first team when it's consistently under-performing"

And this I agree with you is down to the manager who picks the team. So I'm questioning why this is happening. The club's 'pathways' doctrine is an adjunct to that.

Stubborn. He's a very stubborn little man is Mr Holloway. I think he needs to try yoga or something. He's just not flexible enough.

Having said that, I still think, by and large, we're doing better than I expected this season and I like about 75% of what Holloway's achieving. If only he wasn't so ####ing stubborn. It took him about 5 games longer than everyone on this site to understand the need to drop Washington/play Sylla. It's proving even longer with Mackie. But eventually it will penetrate his tough little nut and Wheeler might get a look in.

By which time it'll probably be too late

makes no sense does it? you've got our u23s who are destroying everyone atm and scoring bags of goals along the way yet aren't being given a chance in our underperforming team

Can possibly blame him for picking yet ANOTHER wrong manager?

3 in a row?

We can't afford to risk them until they're 24.

The club should appoint a very strong number 2(A defensive coach) as soon as possible. Whether Olli approves of it or not.
