NEILL COLLINS REVIEWS DEFEAT TO ADDICKS Interviews Our Head Coach gave his post-match reaction to the Reds' 2-1 loss at Charlton Athletic for iFollow Barnsley. Continue reading on the official site...
The thing is, If Charlton had the same decisions go against them and the result was different, there would’ve numerous posts in this thread about how lucky we are and had it not been for them we would’ve lost.
"it's about responding".......well we've seen little sign of that since half time at Bolton, 6 an half games ago.
Why not just get them to win, Neill? Charlton are lower mid table for a reason. The same, arguably worse, with Cheltenham and Cambridge at Oakwell. You and your team have utterly wasted our chances of going up automatically this season against dross in the bottom half.
Let’s be fair on Charlton. Their form is better than ours recently and under their new manager they are no way lower mid table
Once in 6 games simply isn't good enough for a team that's supposed to be challenging for promotion. where was the response in the other games
You are correct, but we have shown we can come back in games so let’s hope we can come back to form eh?....need to win 2 ties in playoffs and that would mean promotion. All teams go through bad patches, up to 3 week since we were on a great run and that can return, have you given up like?.....hope the team doesn’t, because if they are quitters like a lot on here then we no chance
I just can't take clawing back a victory against a team in the relegation zone who'd lost 5 in a row at home and hadn't taken the lead in a game for months as a sign of positivity.
Oxford smashed them 4-0 yesterday. They’re clearly hurtling towards the drop. We’re struggling against anyone even half decent at the moment. If Collins starts again with a back 3 of MDG, McCart & Earl he deserves any stick he gets. They’ve been a disaster together. After Lincoln I never thought he’d pick them again but he has. I don’t like JW as a centre half but as we’ve no one else he has to go back in there. Can’t believe I’m saying that either. It’s a mess…
And the reason we've nobody else? Because Collins has sent McCarthy, Lopata and Shepherd out on loan after deciding they weren't ready. Shepherd is twice the player earl is even at this stage in their careers.
