NEILL COLLINS REVIEWS DEFEAT AGAINST CAMBRIDGE Interviews Our Head Coach spoke to iFollow Barnsley after the Reds fell to a 2-0 against Cambridge United at Oakwell. Continue reading on the official site...
Extremely concerning that he seems to believe that performance was OK. "we did more than enough". No, Neill, you rolled over and lost 2-0. That's nowhere near enough.
We seem to be having a lot of these strange days mr Collins like the last 3 home games. I think it’s time you packed your bags mr Collins because we have probably blown the chance of getting out of these damn awful league,we could be stuck here now till the end of time.
He’s delusional. The performance wasn’t anywhere near enough. Yes we did miss a couple of really good chances - I’m thinking of McAtee hitting the post and Cadden putting one wide first half - but if he thinks the majority of that game was anything but slow, dreary, uninspired and uncreative dross, then that’s a bigger issue than the performance itself. If he genuinely thinks we should have won that game and/or the Cheltenham game, then he won’t see need to change. That is a worry.
He's in a no win situation with his post match interviews because irrespective of what he said a number of fans have already made their minds about him and want him out. He could have said the players played ****, it wasn't good enough, he should have done something different etc but then he'd get accused of throwing the players under the bus.
He could have done something different but he changed nothing about the shape and tactics of the team just the personnel and even then he made the wrong choices. He's had weeks to sort out the issues at the start of games and hasn't he had two uninterrupted weeks with his players and the produced that **** show the longer he coaches them the worse they get. Lose on Monday and he should be a goner
Really can't be doing with his post match comments. Just wish he'd be more willing to be critical of the performance when we're (often) way below par. Doesn't have to single people out or be personal but absolutely no harm in saying he expects more
I wish he'd be honest and say "it's almost April and I haven't got a clue who my best defenders are, that's why I tried mdg in two positions yesterday, Williams in two, earl in two and even O'Keefe in two despite him only coming on as sub and why I tried a grand total of three different right wing backs during the game. I probably should have a clue by now but I'll be honest, I don't"
