    Why not just sack him after a draw or defeat and then reappoint him again after the caretaker loses his first match? Then we can sack him all over again when he loses another match.

    We haven't beat a top side all season and we are halfway through it. Too many people have been brainwashed in to accepting mediocrity.

    Is this because we are an elite club?

    I was entertained by our efforts yesterday.
    I thought Charlton were a smart side who came to ‘have a go’ and not spoil like Wycombe did.
    With a bit more luck we might have won but not beating Charlton won’t be our downfall this season.

    That's because he's been given a mediocre defence to replace the elite one from last season, he's missed Luca Connell for the majority of the season, his first choice goalkeeper has missed a chunk of the season, his starting striker and foil for Cole was sold on the eve of the season and not adequately replaced, and his CEO vanished into thin air after doing a pathetic job before leaving.

    He's doing a very decent job under such circumstances. Nobody is saying he should have the keys to the city. Just that he should not be sacked.

    I’m not his biggest fan and don’t enjoy the football that He is serving up but I think he should be given more time; as many others have identified, he’s had a difficult hand dealt

    Promotion contenders to bang average league one side in a matter of months is fvckuppery of the highest order.
    Collins isn't the problem but unfortunately he isn't the answer either

    I love the fact that despite being just outside the playoffs and with games in hand on play off teams. It has been determined that we’ve gone from promotion contenders to an average side.

    and he’s done this all without Luca. Basically no Phillips and a whole new defence. And some people want him sacked. Give the guy a chance.

    Sack Collins - it’s obviously his fault we sold Anderson and Kitching and lost Bobby Thomas!!!!

    If Promotion Contenders is based on the stats then I would say we still are. If it's based on the football dished out, then we never have been all season.

    The gash football we are churning out is more my point, stats can be manipulated to prove any point, good or bad

    We need to strengthen the defence in January. Hope Bobby can have some input in this. I'm not a fan of Collins' playing style, but I think he is somewhat limited by our defensive frailties and has been very unlucky with injuries too.

    This for me at minute. His football is some of the worst I've seen and at times his decision making and subs have cost us but would be harsh to sack him. Just wish he would stop with Williams at center back.

    I agree with you about the awful football, but it's pretty difficult to manipulate the league table, number of points we've picked up and the fact that we've only lost 1 of the last 11 league matches!
