    That was good

    Or if we played marginall better than Wycombe

    Or if we got the 3 points

    Or if we fluke victories away from home


    I just can't watch this football any longer. It's not what the board told us our footballing style was. It's not what was sold to the fans and it's not what anyone wants.

    If Collins doesn't go I just can't keep going to oakwell. I can't. I can't sit there bored to tears every week struggling to stay awake

    And I'm not alone.

    I've never seen as many empty seats around me for a league match as I did last night. And those who did come pretty much ALL said they were bored and we're making jokes about how dull it is.

    That can't continue

    Only like Tuesday nights last winter. Loads have got dodgy boxes now. It’s much easier to sit in the warmth on the sofa than go down to Oakwell when it’s that cold.

    I think we need to remember that Oakwell was only really a great atmosphere for half a dozen games last season. Derby, Plymouth, Wednesday, Ipswich, Bolton in the play offs & another league game after the Wednesday one.

    Before that run in March time there were constant moans about how flat the atmosphere was & how there were loads of spare seats last season too.

    Agree wholeheartedly about the board's promise to identify a style and recruit accordingly ........... but.

    Hollow words. They have deviated once, without explaining, so what's to say they won't deviate again? We could end up with another Schopp Asbaghi season on our hands.

    I'm undecided.

    When I saw his fist bumps and high-fives and bench hugs at the Port Vale game, I thought we had another passionate Stendl on our hands with football to match. Sadly it seems it was a one-off. The squad we have we could be footballing teams to death, not trying to bore them into submission.

    I agree although I still went a few away games this time last season. The football been served up by Collins makes a good bedtime watch and doesn't give me any urge to watch in the flesh. Although we were better when we swapped styles for Cosgrove.

    My decision to get a refund is looking like smart business. They miss sold a product, I would be fuming if I had a season ticket having to endure this *****!
