Romared Match Thoughts--Barnsley-v-Leyton Orient

[NerfHerder]

I didn’t see the game.
But with the sound of it Phillips COULD have just saved Collins his job.

Scoring in the last minute is yet another example that Collins gets the fight until the end attitude out of the players.
But the match itself doesn’t sound like it was a great watch.

I know you only said “could have” but in my opinion there is no chance Collins would have lost his job had we lost yesterday. We aren’t Watford.

You are right about the fight in the players this season though. Last season once we went behind it was basically game over but this season the players keep going until the last second.

It shows how much the players are buying in to Collins given how McAtee and Roberts are both loan players yet celebrated the goals and full time winners like they were ours. Hopefully they both will be next season, although I feel McAtee is less likely to be here on a permanent basis.
