A year ago: Talking about injuries, new signings, need for investment, etc

November 10, 2005 QPR Official Site - Ian Holloway Speaking
Talking to QPR World about his sides start to the season, Holloway pinpointed his sides main area for improvement.
As usual, Ollie wasn't keen to give too much away at this point of the season, choosing instead to focus on that position Rangers find themselves in next April.
Of course the Rangers boss was keen to see more action up front and he has already set his sights on improving that area.
"We need to score more goals, we are lacking a few from the chances we created. I want to work on that, getting more goals in that column."
Ian Holloway and his staff will take advantage of the free weekend by going out on a scouting mission.
Holloway told QPR World: "I'll be giving my players the weekend off and I'll be off with my staff looking at players. We also have some exciting prospects waiting to come over."
"It's exciting times, I feel we are stabilising. We are now on top of the water - ready to sail off into the sunset."
With the transfer window opening in less than two months Holloway will be talking to the board regarding the playing budget.
"I might be close to taking a player in on loan with a view to taking over his contract. I wouldn't mind some more defensive cover too.
"When we were in the second division we had the better players becuase we had the biggest budget."
Ollie was also keen to clear up some other business. In a recent Q&A on QPR World Holloway referred to a quote in a Newspaper attributed to QPR fan Paul Finney.
"Typical me, I said some things I shouldn't of said. It turns out the guy I spoke about had some threats from other fans.
"I didn't want that - this guy is a QPR fan! He explained things to me and I apologised to him. If my words got him that kind of abuse I am ashamed of myself."
Elsewhere, after only three starts this season Martin Rowlands was a welcome sight as he started back in full training.
"I thought I had a new signing today some little lad with blonde hair. It's great to have him back although I'm not sure whether he will be match fit for the game at Plymouth because he has been out quite a while."
