Queens Park Rangers have shown signs of improvement under Ian Holloway of late.

Speaking live on Sky Sports’ Premier League Daily at 11:52 am on January 18th, ex-QPR boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink shared what he believes the man who replaced him at Loftus Road – Ian Holloway, has bought to the club since his arrival.

The Hoops have won three consecutive Championship games, including a fantastic 1-0 win at fourth placed Reading on Thursday night, and now sit in 17th position in the table, a full eight points clear of the relegation zone.

Despite winning his first game in charge upon his return to Loftus Road, he then guided his team to sixth consecutive defeats.

So the manner in which he has managed to turn things around at QPR must be applauded.

And Hasselbaink told Sky Sports’ Premier League Daily what Holloway has changed in particular over recent weeks, that has, in turn, seen vast improvements in both performances and results:

“Ian, of late, has been more compact, and that has benefited the team – picking up points and getting confidence.”

The West London outfit now face back-to-back home games against Fulham and Burton Albion respectively, and what a fantastic opportunity those games will be for them to continue their winning run.
