Early in the season I posted that our back three were not up to it and a well known poster on here said that these new defenders were as good as last years departed , absolute bunkem , we have witnessed all season error after error & yesterdays own goal was another classic, some of our fans rave about this French lad as if he was something special well for me he is truly out of his depth , doing the odd drop of the shoulder & Krueff turn does not make him special , his lack of concentration at key moments stands out like a sore thumb & he continues to make mistake after mistake , we will be in division one next season for sure & if we have any intentions of giving it a go we have to get the back line sorted , its no good bringing in lower league potential to replace players who have moved up to the championship & the premier leagues , we have to re think our strategy .
I didn't know we had a strategy Shad , what I call a patchwork quilt .

The playing side from the DOF , Recruitment and HC should all be working together , the DOF gets a pass because it's early days but for me the link between recruitment and Collins just hasn't been there this season .

Massive amount of mistakes in recruitment made this season in my opinion is the major contributing factor .

Collins is a dilemma , we are top 6 , we've lost one game all season away from home and we've scored goals and yet sometimes you feel he gets found wanting with the subs and tactically .

Mind you in all honesty what's the point of getting promoted to the championship this season .

Absolutely can't see this club in one transfer window building a team who could give the championship at least a good go .
