QPR got beat away again at Reading, that is 3 defeats on the bounce now. All funnily enough since Holloway returned from illness. Holloway will get it right though.
I can't be assed to report on the football played in the match. I gather we were unlucky, Cureton was silly and Holloway got the hump.
Ian Holloway said
"I was angry after the game, and I ended up making a total idiot of myself.
I was unprofessional: I was shouting and I wasn't listening to my players, and I accept now that I got it wrong.
Jamie should not have reacted in the way he did, although I would never have done what Sidwell did.
The red card changed it, but I thought we had played well in the second half, and the goal came against the run of play."
