Two batches of six losses on the spin in less than one season cannot be a lottery.... Plus I think we are now 9 games without a win. Those miserable stats can’t just be down to bad luck. He’d be out of a job at any other club in the entire football league - assuming he would’ve been offered one in the first place of course. [Post edited 17 Oct 2017 7:29]

Well to say he would be out of a job at any other club is nonsense as I don't think every other club below 14th in 'every other league' has changed manager this season have they?

My problem is that very rarely MUST something be done in football terms in the middle of October - even Bolton and Palace won last weekend. To say if we do nothing things will stay the same or get worse is just guesswork/your opinion.

No I just prefer more accurate figures really. Adding 50% to six is quite a bit out. We should have had a lot more points from those six games I will agree on that.

Ho-hum. Ok I’ll bite:

22/8/2017 QPR 1 Brentford 4
26/8/2017 Cardiff 2 QPR 1
9/9/2017 QPR 2 Ipswich 1
12/9/2017 QPR 2 Millwallscum 2
16/9/2017 Middlesbrough 3 QPR 2
23/9/2017 QPR 0 Burton Albion 0
26/9/2017 Barnsley 0 QPR 0
29/9/2017 QPR 1 Fulham 2
14/10/2017 Sunderland 1 QPR 1

So 1 win in the last 9 games. LLWDLDDLD

I suppose it all depends on what you want from QPR.

If you want to win every week and care only about results then I can see why you'd want to change managers as on paper results haven't been good.

But if you want to see a team giving it their all every week and fighting for the shirt, with players showing improvement and playing some decent football and you realise with the manager working under financial restrictions and has lost some key players to injury plus having put a scouting team in place he's not been able to utilise yet then you'll probably be happy enough with the season so far and be confused as to why anyone would want to change again.

I'm sure Holloway will be gone before Christmas and the whole thing starts again but much like with every manager under Fernandes it will be pressure from the fans which forces the change and then the same fans putting that pressure on will be calling the owners idiots a few months later for changing managers too often.

Is it really too much to ask to get a manager through to the end of the season without some sort of drama or upheaval.. ?
Am i right in thinking that the last 2 times with stuck with the manager through a season we've actually got promoted..?
I'm not saying if we stick with Ollie we'll get promoted but whenever has sacking a manager halfway through the season ever improved us dramatically and brought us success..?I cant think of one.

Ok so apart from Brentford, (argggh i'd forgotten about that) we've had 3 single goal defeats out of the last 8. Away to Cardiff, Boro and home to Fulham. It's hardly a meltdown. I reckon 8 points from the next 12 is doable?

not really about pretending results are not true, you can spin the numbers whichever way you want, your one win in the last 8 league games is another mans only losing 2 of the last 7 games. They both amount to the same thing, neither are that impressive but one sounds worse than the other

The numbers will only ever tell you so much it's understanding why they are happening. We've played pretty well and really just lacked a bit of quality in the final third. We're creating chances, the defence has not been terrible especially when you consider the injuries we have so I think overall this season 14th is a fair reflection of how good the squad is and how we've done, decent but could be better and could be a lot worse.

I won't pretend to know how the next few months will go, knowing QPR it will probably all go wrong but I hope we manage to avoid having to change managers again in November, the players at the moment are giving everything they have so not sure a new voice is going to get much more out of them.

To me we are a mid table squad playing like a mid table team and I'm alright with that

I know we normally have the annual November manager merry go round but....

But given the formula below the only safe months for QPR managers post 2000 are June, July and August. Therefore its gonna be tough for Ollie as - Computer Says No..
Although personally I think we should keep him.

if year > 2000 & Manager = (English )
then Change in January, February, March, May, September,October, November, December
else if Manager = (Irish)
then Change in September
else if Manager = (Northern Irish)
then Change in October, December
else if Manager = (Italain)
then Change in May
else if Manager = (Portuguese)
then Change in April
else if Manager = (Welsh)
then Change in November
else if Manager Successful
then Change when Joey Barton Complains

In the last 20 years only Holloway, Francis, Warnock and Redknapp have been manager for an entire season. 3 of those won promotion

Every other manager didn't complete a full season that sorry list reads Houston, Harford, Waddock, Gregory, Dowie, Sousa, Magilton, Hughes, Ramsey, JFH

Are you actually helping your case? One of the managers you referred to was dear 'Arry, who was appointed to replace the deservedly-sacked Hughes on November 24, relegated, but then re-promoted. The other was Warnock, appointed on March 2 (almost suicidally late!) of the season before his amazing promotion season.

Nor was there any reason to question either manager's performance at this stage of their second season. Warnock was 8-3-0, Redknapp was 8-2-0. Holloway is 3-5-4 after an overall poor showing last season.

But 3-5-4 isn't too bad yet. Let's see how he goes over the next couple of months.

Said it before, saying it again, what have the results got to do with anything? It's the Championship, toss a coin. If i win 5 heads in a row, am i good at tossing a coin? Am i then rubbish when 3 tails comes up? What about if heads are missing all their centre backs? What about if we used goal line technology so we beat Middlesborough away? Like we should have beaten Sunderland away? Without any defence or attack.

I love having Les, Ollie, Bircham, Andy Sinton around the place and i think Tony Fernandes is a fantastic person, albeit i wish he'd keep off twitter.

The only thing that Ollie's done which is unforgiveable, is his retarded and incorrect attitude towards cups, especially that fcuking Brentford game, that p!ssed me off.
