First game home to the FAKERS they had fantastic season last year under STAM. Perhaps they should have been drug tested.

Followed by newly relegated Hull and Cardiff (away) who finished top half (12th) As tough as it could be really.

Hopefully Ollie can get us into fighting shape to hit the ground running, i think the whole club could do with a good start

Then when the interviewer read them out I think it dawned on him. Very differcult start.

But the club have installed all the back up staff he wanted. So I think they will carry on.

I think over on QPRnet there was a discussion on this and the general consensus was we don't want another mid-season sacking as they rarely work out for us.

It was generally the idea to either stick with Holloway now and give him the whole of next season come what may or twist this summer and get a new guy in now for the whole season rather than changing in November and effectively wasting another season.

As the club/board have stuck with Holloway we've set our stall out now and need to go with it.

It won't stop people calling for his head by the first international break if we are struggling which, when you look at those fixtures, is highly likely.

I think it would depend on how we are playing. Competing and looking good but not maybe getting all the results would give course for optimism and sticking with him. If its just complete dross and getting hammered every game then i think even the board will concede he cant be the man to get us going in the right direction.

Apparently a super computer has predicted we are bottom after 5 games

We tend to accept a draw or defeat away.

That is a good point about how we are playing having an impact. It may also help that expectations are at an all time low heading into this season. Crazy to think that just 3 years ago we were about to start a Premier League campaign. How did it go so wrong so quickly?

I think the general feedback today is that we have a nightmare start. Being out of the bottom 3 as we enter September may be a good outcome!
