are we supposewd to be content 08:17 - Aug 23 with 3988 views | LadbrokeR | Here we are sixth in championship. The team can't step up for a derby but Stephen caulker getting minutes is a positive. Another Holloways post match pearl of wisdom is that we need to dust ourselves down and go again. I am sick of his platitudes and annoyed at the shambles of a performance in a derby AGAIN. | | | | |

I don't think he said that to be fair. In fact he said "I don't like losing, particularly to them". | |

are we supposewd to be content on 08:28 - Aug 23 with 3935 views | PlanetHonneywood | Well I wouldn't get overly fraught by it sunbeam. A league cup tie is an utterly meaningless fixture these days; so much so, we and several other teams can no longer be remotely arsed to play anything approaching a First XI. Apparently, the meaninglessness extends to holding the draw for the next round in China! If it were me, I'd not bother entering it if it were possible. It's not as if when the final comes around, we'll all be ensuring the cat is out, granny has been watered and the family are all sat fixated around the goggle box to watch it. In fact, aside of when we won the league cup in 67 and 86, I genuinely couldn't recall who were in the final last season - much less any other season - without Gary Google's assistance. | |

I suppose he needs to look for positives, just shows how desperate he is. | |

Trouble is it seems to be always a big Premier League team that wins it. So maybe we should be taking this contest more seriously than we actually do as it is the most realistic trophy other than the FA Cup, that the club could win. I do agree with some of your comments however. Holding the draw on the other side of the planet is absurd. Nothing more than a money making stunt to poach more Asians into supporting and into putting their cash into projects Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea etc, etc. | |

The fact it's a cup tie might render it meaningless to most (call me old fashioned but I personally disagree), but the fact it's a London derby should mean we at least take it seriously. Compounded by the fact we bent over for them. Surprised at IH, always going on about what it meant to him to play for QPR and how it needs to mean something to the current players. Our cave, blah, blah, blah. Hollow words. If he meant it he would never leave us open to that sort of going-over. No pride, just political statements it seems. [Post edited 23 Aug 2017 9:02]

are we supposewd to be content on 12:16 - Aug 23 with 3532 views | daveB | really what do you want Holloway to say, if he came out and said they are all crap and we need 9 new players he'd be rightly slaughtered for that as well. Last night was crap and we'll have other games this season where again we'll be crap but we either cry about it or hope the players learn from it and improve | | | |

His poor team selection says otherwise. | | | |

Maybe, and I'm on record as not favouring squad rotation or playing a reserve team in the cup, but I was just pointing out that he didn't say that, in fact he said the opposite. | |

Point taken, mate. I just hate the way Holloway says one thing, when his actions say the complete opposite. It's basically dishonest. | | | |

Mate I will go on record as saying I'm not really a Holloway fan. I certainly haven't called for him to be sacked but frankly his post match comments sometimes verge on the banal. It's not a question of just losing one game rather it's becoming a bit to often that we seem to ship in goals against Brentford and all to often that we can't field a team that is up for a London derby. To be honest that is my issue. | | | |
