Bobby hassell: Fabio needs 15 minutes to get up to speed in matches

Collins: fair enough, have 18 then.

 

Tbf that's on Jalo.

He should be absolutely ready to go the moment he walks on the pitch shouldn't he?

 

He shouldn't be rushed but when your playing along side watters your a lone striker

 

18 more than he got at Peterborough.
Yet Watters had 67 minutes in the last 2 games.

 

Not many players come on as sub and are up to speed in seconds especially not someone so inexperienced.

We must have the worst squad in league 1 because every time the manager makes what a lot of people call a bad decision you just point out how bad the players are and that the manager can do no wrong. Is he your relation or summat?

 

Doesn't fill you with confidence Collins, that's for sure.

McAtee and Cole both involved in our goal. We need a second goal to kill the game. I know I will take both our attacking threats off and play with ten men with Watters brought on. Rest them both when we don't have another game for a week and a half.

 

Better final ball from Kane in 85th minute and Cadden has an opportunity to make it 2-0.

 

Neither of them did anything when they came on today, but it’s always Watters who gets the abuse.

 

Styles is utter w***. I'd rather bring Josh Martin back in midfield then give Granville another go. Hes absolutely s*** every time he plays and put zero effort in.

That better?

 

The abuse that Watters got from people sat near me.

‘Not jumping for a header’, he won the header.
‘Not chasing the ball down’, he was, at that point, chasing the ball down.

It’s honestly baffling the hate he gets. Yes he isn’t a world beater but he’s still a young lad playing for the shirt.

 

Kinda agree - but we’re not party to all the data.

The HR and GPS relay live data back, so some decisions are also made using that - all clubs do.

The substitutions themselves are not the issue (you expect to, having 3 games so close) it’s the replacements coming on weaken the team. Not sure if you can blame the management team for that - which is why you have to give him the transfer window to maybe change it.

Only time will tell if it’s Collins or the players…..

 

Up to speed in seconds isn't fifteen minutes.

And I agree he got things wrong today - we were poor and his changes made us worse.

I just don't start bashing my keyboard to pieces every time we don't win 5-0.

I genuinely don't get the vitriol towards him.

 

Imho when you are bringing on a young kid with potential....he needs to be eased in with decent pros alongside.
So I don't have a problem with Collins bringing him on for the last 15....but he needs to learn off someone who can lead the line and bring him along......Watters is not that player.

 

He's a Hungarian international that's why.

 

If only we had an old head of a striker, who still chipped in with the goals and could teach a kid all the scrappy old pro stuff. Someone you could bring on with half an hour to go along with that young potential wonderkid. What a double act that could be.
One day Khaled will be spoken of in the same breath as Conway, in regards to the damage he did to this club.

 

Sam Cosgrove has 199 career appearances he can hold the ball up keep possession bring others into play. Which today is what we needed. But instead we brought on watters
