Well me and my fellow fans will not be the only ones disappointed by our 1 -2 defeat by Southampton at The Walkers today.
Olly, who as many of you will know writes a weekly column for the BBC (greetings fellow scribe!) says he was disappointed with only getting 4 out of 6 points in his first two games. That is 4 out of 9 now.
The poor man must be wondering what on earth he has walked into. It was a massive decision to leave a team who were at the time 4th in the Championship, to work with one struggling below half way. Then within less than a week of his arrival, his Chairman has been arrested on fraud charges.
To add to the irony, Holloway has himself spoken out against corruption in the game in the past.
Which of course gives him something of a connection with Mike Newell.
Maybe I wasn't so far out with predicting our manager after all. Maybe I just misinterpreted the "Mike Newell feeling" a bit.
Anyway enough of the self justification.
Good job Olly has bought a few of his mates with him to cheer him up. And he can always retreat to fudge cake, which is apparently one of his favourites. So much so in fact that he used to consume it competitively.
Maybe he has some "cheer yourself up tips" for Sam Allardyce, who must be feeling the need for something sweet after his team's 3 -1 loss today.
