I think he has added great quality, which makes me question why we're struggling even more

His record in the transfer market is his only positive imo.

He is restricting a squad full of attacking players, even Whittaker and Garrido (both his signings) are attacking full backs.

QPR are far worse than last year, Reading are s**te, Wigan are worse (lost their best player Moses) and Villa are worse, so I don't see how this season is harder either.
