I hope Ismael doesn't come in with a Watford bid for Collins as Collins was central to his Barnsley tactical methods, both as a sweeper behind the high defensive line and a time waster/ sh1thouserer par excellence.
The ripples of the Duff affect in play and I suspect players we do have on the books may well be thinking along those lines .

We've been here before of course , relatively recently with your reference to Val who took Mowatt to WBA and the backroom staff .

Those left behind weren't exactly at it once they did one to the West Midlands , most of whom weren't half the players they were under Val .

If 5th in the championship to rock bottom and barely 30 league points within 12 months can happen it can also happen if less catastrophically in league one too .

A bit of a struggle and mid table isn't beyond us .
