To be fair to Herbie, speaking on camera or on the radio isn't easy at all. Some people feel very comfortable with it, whereas others, even some very bright and articulate people, really struggle or just feel very uncomfortable. From listening to him, I'm guessing that Herbie isn't particularly blessed in the brain department, but then again neither am I in the footballing department so these things balance themselves out. However, the club putting him on media duties when there are plenty of players in the squad who seem to feel very comfortable taking to the press is a bit daft. Just the same reason as when a few years ago the company I was working for participated in an ice hockey tournament, I was quite near the back of the list of potential team members.
His one or two word answers do project an air of discontent by him adding tons earlier interview he did this season gives the impression come January his agent will be getting a move that he seems to want along probably with Styles who has never made a secret of wanting out from a club who now seem to have little stomach for a return to the championship.
If he or any other players want out that bad to deliberately be half hearted, I’d rather they were dropped and Collins comes out and says why and replaced with someone who wants to fight for the cause etc. Clearly the player stepping in/up on paper wouldn’t be as good but I’m sure most fans would forgive that.
He'll be gone soon, be very surprised if its to the Championship tho. My guess, whichever L1 club pays him the most.
It's clear he doesn't want to be here I think we have a few like that. Think there better players than they are and want out. Let them go for me.
There's a wealth of talented players could come in for Styles and Kane. I'd play Phillips, Russell and Connell with Ackroyd on the bench. Could even push Cadden forward and put Dodgson or Richardson in at Left back.
Folk ort to think on and remember this when slagging Collins off.. Kane is not the only one that doesn't want to be here. Couple that with the summer sales and the standard of the replacements. Cut Collins a bit of slack.
