Can’t keep throwing away leads and make the top 2. Also would help if we could play for 90 mins instead of 45
We need to hope our recruitment in Jan is better than ours was in the summer. I honestly don’t think we will make the play offs never mind automatics.
And, that game in hand we had that was gonna propel us to within touching distance of the top 2, we now need to win to move up 1 place on goal difference. Too many games thrown away from winning positions, too many draws.
Too many points lost already from winning positions to gain automatic promotion imo best we can hope for is a playoff spot and another trip to Oakwell South, we are in a good league position but it’s just not me who thinks there is something not right in how we are playing, Managers decisions
He takes all our best players off and replaces them with weaker options. Our first team players should be able to manage 90 minutes surely? That’s why we can’t manage 90 minutes of decent play. Baffling.
I just think Collins is just like Asbaghi but with a few results. Clear style of play and strict game plan. Easier to execute in League 1. Unfortunately you need to score more goals before you shut up shop and try and save a few legs. Only problem is opposition managers have worked this out. When it gets deeper into games they use their trump cards knowing we've given our better players a rest.
Set in his ways and unwilling to change anything. I could have just put bloody useless but we have got to give him a chance due to our fine league position and lack of credible replacement.
Asbaghi won 4 games, Collins won 4 in his first 8 games. You say he's stuck in his ways and unwilling to change anything, but what can he change? He's said he wants someone with pace in the back 3, and the only way he can change that is by signing another centre half, which he's made clear he wants to do. How can he be useless if we're halfway through the season and already on 43 points? You can't honestly say none of that is down to him? The squad is visibly weaker than it was last season, and we're in pretty much the same position.
Err no Sir lol, we're not quite there yet in the Play offs. Id be delighted though if we could finish in the top 6, Id take that and snap the hand off right now, if I/we could.
Unpopular opinion but Poya would have done alright in this league…which suggests how poor it is. Collins is not as good as Duff but surely he still deserves a chance? Sixth in the league, decent form and the board ****** him over all summer. Can’t see Collins being judged by anyone in the boardroom until next season, unless we have a dramatic fall off this year and somehow finish bottom half. Even if we finish 10th or 11th, I’d still expect Collins leading pre season.
He asks our front players to play an aggressive, physically sapping playing style, snapping at the heels of the defenders. So they'd be utterly knackered if they had to play this 90 mins every game. He has to take them off to put on fresh legs to keep up. He takes off our best players because he starts our best players. Would you prefer him to start our worst players and then bring on the best with 20 mins to go?
