Really good interview .He’s clearly a man who has had a hard paper round, and come out of it with the right attitude.

Holloway wouldn’t play him because he was unlucky?!

You'd have to have a heart of stone not to be touched by that article. What an impressive young man. Thanks for posting OldPedro.

He's a lovely player too. I thought he was brilliant for us in the last match, absolutely embarrassed some of their players. Could scarcely believe his average rating on the LFW forum was under 7.

Anybody who gave him less than a seven last week...bleddy hell, remind me not to offer you a job scouting players any time soon. Go and watch it again.

I agree, I thought it was one of his better games for us. IJust needs to add some consistency to his game and not drift in and out of games as he sometimes does. Oh and sort out his corner taking.

Can't find it now but seem to dimly recall Ollie saying something like he plays well but we never win the games. I think he was trying to make a point about individualism and the balance of the team.

If he did say he was unlucky I'd imagine it was a bit of banter that Ilias took the wrong way at the time. But that says something in itself doesn't it.

Comments from the players over the years have never really borne out the general narrative about who fulfilled the remit and who didn't.

I really enjoyed that article Old Pedro, thanks for posting.

Humbling in many respects, but makes me proud to be a QPR fan as Chair is very much a QPR type player- skilled, determined and an underdog who gives it all.

Clearly well liked within the squad and highly regarded by the club, hope he continues to progress and grow with us for a while longer.

Yeah but 'e ain't a pwopah leedah, is' e?

(Crap) joking aside, that is a terrific article and gives a real insight into the person inside the shirt. It's very easy to reduce footballers to a position and set of statistics. It does us good to remember that we only see the barest fraction of the human being that chance has put into a QPR shirt.

I echo what has been said prior. I think it massively shows the journey he has been on as a pro and a person and his recovery from setbacks. I also think it adds weight to his statement after signing his new contract recently - some suggested they were hollow words but i think they ring true especially after reading this.

Nice interview.

I wonder who at the club identified him when Lierse and Fulham weren't interested.

It was said before and sneered at, but League 1 Stevenage described him as one of the best players to pull on the shirt.

Remarkable talent and fortitude. It's hard to believe that it is only a few seasons ago that the U23's featured Manning, Smyth, BOS, Eze, Tilt, Chair and Shodipo all in the same side.

The grass is always greener.

Great article. He's a very talented player with a great head on his shoulders. Keen to learn and for me ever improving. We haven't even begun to see the best of this lad.

Never knowingly right.

He has been my favourite player for a few years, but recently, gulp, I must confess to enjoying a bit of Dickie. Take that how you want bigots.

yeah pretty sure Holloway was joking about that as we lost 4-1 to Brentford in his debut and lost a few other games he started that season as well but he clearly rated him.

Doing well, comes from a tough background. Seems to be a nice lad. Interesting info about IH leaving him out of the Team.
