Worst managerial start? 17:05 - Dec 27 with 5825 views | Monahoop | I've supported QPR since 1968 and I'm wracking my brains as to who has the accolade of worst start to when taking charge of the club since then. I Know this is Holloway's second stint in charge at the R's ( he didn't have a good start the first time, but circumstances at the club were different then) but six defeats out of seven doesn't look too clever capped with the club forgetting where the opponent's goal is. Troubling times me thinks. Either the players are not responding to Holloway's tactics or intentions or he is simply not fit for management anymore as was evident at Palace and Millwall. I for one distrust second helpings from former bosses. I was hoping things might improve a bit and was willing to give him a chance, but my original thoughts look like they could be answered. I hope I'm wrong. | |

Worst managerial start? on 17:15 - Dec 27 with 5789 views | ichbinnaughty | Wrong appointment in the first place. Not that hiring and firing is the solution, but i don't think Ollie is or has been the right man. We should be hoping he does the gallant thing and resigns; and then we try to secure Rowett. Christ I'd even take Pardew. My apathy levels are plumbing new depths. | | | |

No, his first game was a 1-1 draw away to Arsenal. We should have won 1-0 but they scored in extra extra extra fckin time plus da fckin change [Post edited 27 Dec 2016 17:21]

Yeah I remember that but his first win was Luton away Let's hope this run is a bit like 1990 run under Don Howe and we turn it around with a Peacock , Tilson and Rufus type signings !! | | | |
Worst managerial start? on 17:27 - Dec 27 with 5713 views | Brightonhoop | I wasn't convinced by his Appointment but you back the man in the hot seat, but I haven't had much faith in appointments ever since Warnock was sacked, so it was nothing new. In his defence, it's not his squad, confidence was shot long before he turned up and love Bircham but he didn't hit the ground running with a proper set up so he is guilty for some of the malaise. Easy with hindsight to say that bad planning lead to Clint, Ale and others leaving at the same time with no proven replacements in place to take over. Les has to take some of that blame as DoF but I think Fernandes handling has become more erratic, talking consolidation then romotion because there was a sniff of the lay-offs last season at some oint. I think that's understandable given the terrible losses we've made, awful buys on silly contracts and wages, so it's far from all Ollies fault, and there's no one going to come in and sort it out. I dont want Fernandes to go by the way just get a grip on the situation and talk us through the current situation with FFP, monies, objectives, strategies, the future of the Club and where we are headed. With no bull, just details and achievable objectives, stability being number one priority. I've never known us call for a Managers head so soon, Paul Hart aside, there is something very wrong going on. | | | |

I really really hope so M8. But I'm really sorry to say that I'm afraid he is just continuing how he was at Wall, he was beyond clueless in that second season after spending alot of money for them. Far worse than Hughes at Rangers. He looked a shell of a man and I'm really worried he hasn't recovered i'm not doing a BostonR in wanting him out (yet) or anything but I take alot of interest in Millwall so saw first hand the car crash there, hence why being wary of his appointment well before he was in the frame . That said he done it with Blackpool and palace after a break and in theory was better than anyone on the shortlist except Pearson maybe, and I was seriously inspired by his initial interviews and really want him to succeed. If it's any help Don Howe lost 9 in a row I think and we turned it round. | | | |
Worst managerial start? on 17:39 - Dec 27 with 5668 views | FloridaR | Ollies tactics are skew-wiff imo. 1st goal today was all on him, Was waiving his arms about telling our players to go wide and move off on our throw, Brighton won possession and 1 pass into space, shot on goal 1-0 | |

That's seriously worrying mate cos when he was at Millwall all the Wall fans I know said he did stuff like that and confused the players so they didn't know what they were doing. They ended up like Rabbits in headlights scared before they got on the pitch and with the wall crowd that's a recipe for disaster. Scary thing is it's the same at Loftus Road with us so close to the pitch. [Post edited 27 Dec 2016 17:57]

The buck stop fairly and squarely with LF when it comes to football personnel issues. Without question he has done well ridding the club of the hangers-on that needed to be moved on. But that's only half the job. They have to be replaced with players that are good enough individually and collectively. I still don't really know how good or bad these players are, but judging by his record when it comes to managerial appointments, I'm not sure we can have a great deal of confidence. That being said, simply by the law of averages, you must turn up a gem every now and then. Smithies apart, what gems do we have? On balance though, I think it's more likely than not that at least some are badly underperforming (Bidwell was far better at Brentford, same as Cousins at Charlton) so it's more to do with poor management/coaching. As DoF, managerial appointments must be down to LF. | |

So all on Holloway that Onouha couldn't turn and track his man and all on Holloway that we can't keep possession from a throw in. Always down to the manager never the players | | | |

We won that first game because we were playing against 10 men. I think it is safe to say that the particular formation was not the key thing. | |

Worst managerial start? on 16:00 - Dec 29 with 4603 views | coolranger | Are people really that surprised? I was shot down in flames three weeks ago for suggesting Ollie was 'hanging by a thread'... far too soon etc. IMHO he was a cop out appointment to begin with. And now we are staring at six consecutive defeats and one goal in about two months... TF may very well have to go elsewhere to save the club, because three more consecutive defeats without even a goal and I believe QPR will break a 130 year old league record to place alongside that FA Cup record. | | | |
