So we face off against the team top of the league on Saturday as we host Wolves.

We haven't won for 7 games whilst Wolves have 5 of their last 6 with their only defeat away at the league's other form side Sheffield United - who we face on Tuesday. Gulp.

Can Holloway really be judged on the next 2 games?

Do we expect anything from this game? Just because we are at home does that make a different when hosting the leaders?

Do we expect changes to the starting 11?

Some stats to add from the BBC:

The Hoops have lost 10 points from leading positions this season.

QPR have won just one of their last 13 league matches against Wolves at Loftus Road - 1-0 in December 2008 courtesy of a Martin Rowlands goal.

After tonights win Sheffield United move up and it means our next 2 games are against the top 2. Then we head to the City Ground where we have never won.

Tough.

Big week. Very big week. I'm behind Holloway but 3 defeats would be curtains sadly. Even 3 draws would take us to 10 games without a win.

Needs a big performance in at least 1 of these games to bag a win.

Including this one top teams or not. Away points are a bonus. Wolverhampton have been in the doldrums just like us. But over the next two games we need a good return.

Actually I think that the next 2-3 games will not define our season. These are tough games so we're just hoping for a result or two. We've put pressure on ourselves by not beating the likes of Millwall, Burton, Sunderland and Bolton. Now we're hoping to make up those points against better teams. Please don't talk about Olly being under pressure. Let's just hope for a big performance or 2 and a day when we actually convert our chances.

Team news:

Smithies
Baptiste Lynch Robinson Bidwell
Cousins Scowen Luongo
Freeman
Washington Sylla

Subs: Lumley; Furlong; Wzsolek, Ngbakoto, Wheeler; Mackie, Smith

So Cousins first start is against the league leaders.... These next two games will be a test of the team's resolve and ability to bounce back methinks but COYRs!

So Wszolek, Manning and Mackie drop out, I certainly think Mackie needs a rest. Hopefully Washington can take his chance.

Manning out of the squad altogether, he is definitely suffering from a bit of 2nd season syndrome.

It could be 3-5-2 with Cousins as a right wing back. Hopefully Cousins can become the player we all thought we were signing, starting today!!

Commentators going indeed for Cousins at RWB, and with Bidwell as the LWB, so a new formation and hope it works!

Well a great first half with QPR deserving at least a point and it is indeed 1-1. Great hunting in pairs to disrupt the league leaders and great forward play by Wolves. Most entertaining and delighted by Cousins performance. Keep going lads!!

And they did keep going! What a great result - 2-1 at the end!!!!!!

STATS:
ON-TARGET 6-2
WOODWORK 1-0
OFF-TARGET 5-6
POSSESSION 48-52%

After a fantastic team effort to secure that win, QPR now 14th on 18 points. That puts us 5 points off the Play Offs and 8 points of a relegation position. I would hate to try and award the MotM award - so many candidates, including Baptiste, Robinson & Lynch at the back; and Scowen & Luongo in midfield....

Brilliant result, well done Holloway and the boys. Even Man City couldn't score against Wolves and we could have had more, hitting the bar and having one cleared off the line.

I didn't see us getting a win. It was much needed, our first win since the start of September.

Confirms again that we are good enough to challenge any team but for once we put them away.

Hopefully this means we can play with a bit more freedom in the next 2 games.

Thanks for the updates kingfisher.

You are more than welcome northwesthoop, and I would have done more updates except I could not stop watching the game! I urge all of you to make sure you view the full 90 minutes when it is made available on Monday as it was the best team performance of the season for me!!
