SBRed Match Thoughts Exeter City v Barnsley

[Shadrack the Red]

To talk of replacing Hourihane is pure knee jerk, it seems with social media being the dominant factor amongst any fan base the reactions after every match are way over the top, win and we are going up lose and the manager needs sacking it is totally over the top , the problem I have is that the numpties running things at Oakwell seem to respond to what they read as a way of deflecting from their own failings, it costs a fortune to continually hire and fire and this has to stop , it is time for the board to show some metal and play the long game , back the manager and more to the point back their own judgement, lets be fair most of the sabre rattling from fans calling for change are from fans who do their shouting from the armchair, let the keyboard warriors spout their bile , ignore them and get on with running the club as a football club should be run.

It was the mass hysteria of the fans who got rid of Collins in the penultimate fixture of the season at Blackpool and following that defeat online , we sat 6th in the league and he was sacked leaving Disco to manage the last game and the play off campaign .

It didn't work either and we embarrassed ourselves because the powers that be decided to act like a few hundred knee jerk fans did when they should have backed their man and kept their nerve .

I sincerely hope that lesson was learned but I wouldn't bet on it .

Exactly Animal nail on head and what made that decision even more stupid was they gave it to Disco to oversee and Disco had been in the dug out all season !!! what were they expecting to change , Collins like him or dislike him had done the job and deserved a crack at seeing it through , lets hope the powers that be show a bit of back bone but as I have said before they do like to deflect the blame so nothing is off the table.
