Barnsley 0-1 Blackpool 01/10/23…

…is the day that I knew this guy didn’t have a clue, throwing in an academy player who hasn’t started a game prior to this, after this he’s not played a minute for the first team….

I’ve been hammered on this board for my opinion on the ‘gaffer, yet he’s not done anything since then to prove me wrong.

I honestly think he’s lost the dressing room, does this side even deserve to finish in the Play-Offs? I honestly don’t know… apathy setting in….

 

Lost the dressing room after the Bolton match

 

Not provocative or gloating at all, but I’ve too some serious stick on here these last few months… I’m allowed a bit back..

 

I think you’re bang on. It’s exactly what it is.

 

I don’t see it as losing the dressing room and I don’t get why that’s always seemingly the “go to” when we are on a poor run of form. We are just aren’t good enough defensively and we make stupid mistakes all over the pitch.

 

If we'd have beaten Bolton we would have been 2 points off second with a game in hand.

 

I think the majority of the fanbase deep down knew we had dropped on a dud before Xmas. He got the benefit of the doubt from me included because of the shocking recruitment, & the away form, but the key thing for many was the performances, there just never seemed to be any sign of positivity instilled into the team VIA match tactics. Collins has been the luckiest manager I can ever remember. Another thing was the dull personality on show time & time again, & we just all knew it must be the same in the dressing room, on the training pitch & on the touchline.

Neill Collins was a gamble, but one that made sense at the time, but it hasn’t worked out, in fact it’s been disastrous considering how far we’ve dropped & it’s looking unlikely we’ll make the play offs.

 

Teams deserve to finish where they finish. It’s a long season with plenty of ups and downs. As bad as we’ve been of late if we finish top 6 we deserve it

 

‘Dropped’ we’re around where we’ve been most of the season irrespective of how you think we’ve played

 

'Scott'.. you also promised us you were done on here weeks ago, so why post something like that when you obviously don't mean it.
You've slagged the team and manager off all season long, with no credit given at all when it was deserved. That's why you get the replies you do Im afraid.

 

Exactly missis Fiona lol, Im afraid we do get some fans who like to do the 'I told you so', sort of thing.
At this moment none of us are feeling good about the team are we, and those sort of fan replies don't help at all.

 

Salty as the Irish sea that tweet with Fleetwood going down.

 

Don’t mind that to be honest, just their social team engaging with their fans. I’m sure fleetwood being relegated didn’t disappoint too many tangerines.

It’s certainly a better tweet than SiGn A sTrIkEr

 

Marsh? There’s lots to moan about but this doesn’t make sense at all. He’s came on & impacted games well. He deserved an assist today for the best cross of the match for Cosgrove’s header.

I can’t believe anyone’s come away from that match & decided putting a young attacker on was an issue.

The state of the back 3, the lack of fight from many, the terrible recruitment etc but bringing on Marsh when we needed a goal? Not having that.

 

But between late November and March when we had only lost 1 in 18 league games were you saying this?

 

Is that the day we outshot them 13-8 and their goal was a Jordan Rhodes penalty?

 

Surely you appreciate that everyone we sign is a gamble? It’s what we have done for years.

Duff was signed because he had done well with a small budget at Cheltenham in league 2. Got us to the playoffs, lost in the final then became Swanseas gamble.

Collins is still learning his trade, and someone in football could easily want to give him a chance with better players just based on our league position this season.

 

Are these Blacky Lashers colour blind, its frikkin orange, not tangerine!!.
And hey if you want to know the truth about this lot, listen to the Nobbers/Preston fans lol.
