Collins in fairness hasn't had anything available on the bench all season that can make a big difference. Our strongest starting XI is good in this division but there's not a great deal to get excited about after those lads.
Even the starting “best 11” havent raised the excitement Pass.
Atmosphere (other than Derby and Bolton) has been dire. The enthusiasm the team has raised in me during the last few home games has been such that I have struggled to get off my ar$e to celebrate goals.
The players haven't taken it on themselves to pass back, sideways and to the keeper at every opportunity, they have been told to.
I can take the lack of ability, I can take the inexperience if I can see the lads without the skill set actually trying. What I cant take is the coach playing in a way that is seemingly holding back the skill that we have.
