If Holloway loves

[Timmy the Doc]

I would be willing to give him January window as he has undoubtedly brought in good players with little money. But only if we get 2-3 wins before end of January.

I don't want a manager change imo this late it would only be a panic patch up , as said he does deserve some brownie points but I don't really go along with this good luck bad luck thing you make your own luck and that's playing to your strengths in our case that's a 4-4-2 line up we don't have enough good players to plays the current systems being used , he's got at good spirit and work ethic going , but he's trying to use pigs ears as silk purses we have only got 5 good players the rest are indifferent incapable of holding their concentration for for 45+ mins or 90+ mins like good players do

The 10 men excuse yesterday was brought on by Holloway as he is the only person that would have picked the Marathon runner that is Mackie in the first place.

Clearly any standards at the club are now gone as 26 defeats in 52 games screams to me Got to Go!

The thing that is concerning me most right now is the fact that we seem to be on another one of these awful runs where we can't win a game, and I'm sorry to say that they appear to bring out the worst in Ollie.

Cast your mind back to the end of last season, we were losing game after game, and Ollie was picking some of the daftest line-ups and formations I've ever seen. At the time everyone passed it off as him trying things out as we were already safe. But with hindsight, it's exactly the same as what is happening now.

In my eyes, Ollie is poor tactically at the best of times. But when the pressure is on, he gets even worse. Trying mad tactical ploys to try and buy a win, rather than keeping things simple.

Yesterday may not have been the worst result or performance, but it's another game that this horrible run continues. And 2 red cards this weekend means he will no doubt mix things up again in the next game. I have to say, I'm starting to worry about whether he might take us down!

Superb post and very right to raise the end of last season where the excuse then was he’s trialing things for this season. So after the longest pre season known to man, which commenced in March 2017 and an enhanced squad, were in a worse position then when he arrived.

All we ever hear is excuses from Ollie and his followers we are unlucky here and their what about the luck we have had with two keepers dropping ball at strikers feet in Brentford and Sheff Utd games does that not count???? We’ve had as much good luck as bad

Had it not been for Bentley dropping the ball we would be going into Leeds on the verge of another losing run of six games Ollie likes

[1973 ranger]

Shocking stats and keep him and we will be very very fortunate to not go down. Awful manager

[Timmy the Doc]

Six wins in our last 28 league games.

Quite awful. Our performances this season were much better than last season and I was hopeful we'll be ok, but last five games also performances have dropped.

15-11-26 WDL record. Keep that up an we're going down.

Harsh facts we're in a results business and we're not getting them.

[1973 ranger]

Fair point and they may have found a player who two but he is the man that has Cousins and Pawel at wing backs and Mackie as a starter. I agree with you on the striker situation but even that he has ballsed up as his messing about of Sylla and Smith 8n and out of the team is not helping us. We cannot keep him as what is he giving us right now?

[dogsrrs]

Your not wrong there is no guarantee wed stay up and no guarantee someone else could turn things round in what's left of the season and we'd all be calling for his head if we were to drop , others have to share the blame ! You me and just about every other poster knew Holloway needed another striker back in august
But credits due to for the scouting staff he's installed

[1973 ranger]

Dogs. Great point about the signings but if he stays the season there is no guarantee we will stay up so those players you mention about not signing may well be the best we can hope for. We scraped by last season not sure we will this time around.

Massive draw for a half decent manager my arrs ! Bakes then why have we had three cheap managers on the trot any half decent manager will know taking on QPR is highly likely to put a blot on their CV copy book

Bakes it's not defending Ollie it's about him staying for the season act before that and who in their right mind would come in and be able to turn around things in three months , plus who wants to go back to signings like JET Gobern Borysuik Gladwin Mackie Washington and many more that were signed under ###'s watch to Holloway's credit Freeman Scowens and Baptise smith tho not very mobile does a job off the bench

[dogsrrs]

Fark me! Everyone defending Ollie needs to see that stat, it's an embarrassment.

We're stilla massive draw for any half decent manager out there. Despite what people say we still pay good money for managers and players, just not the bucketloads TF has spunked in the recent past. We're still a very nice job for any manager out of a job.

Personally i'd wait for the Swansea manager to get sacked. He can't be far away, and build a side and team structure around good coaching.
