Holloway

Didn't watch it mate.

It was a glorious day here in Cape Town, so I took the mrs up to vineyards in Franschhoek for a nice lunch a bottle of wine. Makes a nice change from the normal Saturday afternoon spent shouting obscenities at the TV.

Doesn't take a genius to work out that we were set up wrong though does it? Starting with a 3-5-1-1 (whatever the hell that is) with a left back playing in front of a back 3. Utterly bat sh*t crazy is how it sounds mate, but I will reserve judgement until I've watched the game back. The fact that Ollie ditched it at half time tell you all you need to know though, doesn't it?!!

Flock following, yeah the experts like 77 would of got us the points haha ffs

I think it's the fact we threw a game away in the first half with a stupid selection again. And it's not a new phenomenon, it's been this way throughout Ollies tenure. I went to the game at home to Huddersfield a year ago to the day. He did the same that day, set us up totally wrong, went 2-0 down, corrected it in the 2nd half and we actually came close to getting something out of the game in the end. I reckon it's actually been that way for most of the games we've lost under Ollie.

Why can't we just set up right from the kick off? Why do we persist in a formation that clearly doesn't suit our squad? The reason is pretty simple. It's because the manager is stubborn and not very clever.

We lost.

And dont we know it, as you love it you moaning old git

[Tarbie]

Totally disagree! we was outfoxing them in the admittedly first 12 minutes & was outplaying them but they got a goal they shouldnt have on their first break, ned should of cut it out, and then as usual our heads went down a little, but we showed the character to come back and outplay them the second half, why do soo many of you always like to stick the boot into youre own team, even when we did very well, all you seem to want to do is stick the boot in and praise the opposition like drips! back in the day without computers you wouldnt get this knocking of our own team on this level, its like theres a hate for us and the manager instead of support! it really is embarrising especially when we played well yesterday, & my wolves mate said we looked good & played well, yet on here its knock knock knock all the time.

No anyone who went to the game today were yet again embarrassed by the first half performance. After yet again making adjustment for his mistakes in team selection and tactics did we look a threat. It was totally frustrating as with a bit more confidence in the team we could have actually beaten them.

What about his relegations with Leicester and Millwall, not to mention his contribution to QPR's in 2001? Add to this almost relegating QPR last season.

He had a promotion with Palace and a couple of mid table seasons with QPR and Plymouth in this division.

He may not have a big budget this season, but he is doing far worse than he should be with the squad he has.

Bristol City, Preston, Sheff Utd Brentford have a similar budget and arguably not a particularly better squad, but are doing far better.

Haha you cant make it up, forgets little old blackpool lol,,bootfilling

[Shania]

It’s not hate, it’s utter frustration that he is determined to play a system he hasn’t bought players for or have players for!

This!!

How many Olly knocking threads do you want on here?
I'm guessing most who went to the game today would be pretty happy with that performance if not the result so nice timing.

I would merge them all, but there's so many, my phone screen isn't big enough

If he is such a clueless manager how come he guided Blackpool to the Premier League and has won three promotions?

The fact is Holloway is neither a clown nor Messias, but an average Championship manager leading a below average team with limited financial resources to a lower mid Championship finish.

Football has changed big time since them days.We have the players to be doing
Far better if utilsed correctly

[Bill]

It's Sir Les unless you were on drugs throughout the whole 90's. The lack of respect for icons just shows how pathetic some of our fans are with stanis leading the way

Your only as good as your last game

[Bill]

What a needlessly provocative OP.
