Who is this man Adkins? Is he the Messiah?

Are we going to get crucified tomorrow?

If we do we will rise again

Funny you should say that - hot off the press - Chansiri has just sacked Glenn Roeder, decided to stay in the UK for an extra 4 weeks - Jose to the pigs as director of football?.........oh dear, I hope not.

The may decide that Mourinho isn't MASSIVE enough for them ....... they may decide to appoint Obama & The Pope so the appointments match their global MASSIVENESS !!

How can he ever be the messiah when hes playing Collins and McEveley at the back.

Very happy with dirty results but against a better opposition they'd be tore apart

3 consecutive clean sheets with Collins in the team and some can't let the day pass. At least the Long detractors have quietened.

I think the point is that we have kept another clean sheet despite the presence of Collins & McEveley, not because of the presence of these two. That makes the achievement even more worthy of applause. Its a little bit like climbing Everest on a pair of crutches !!

That shows how poor the league is. 3 clean sheets doesn't make Collins a good player. We need a fast paced, hungry, assertive leader at the back, Collins is a liability.

Three clean sheets in a row (and but for a 95th minute goal it would have been four) and a central defender is a liability? Hmmm.

With my limited knowledge of the game Fatty, I thought Collins did fine today, won his headers, did what he should be doing and no obvious errors, so yes he had a decent game.

Better opposition? Like Coventry you mean?

Coventry are hardly world beaters. They were held at home today against Oldham. I know we've had a few clean sheets but what annoys me about Collins is that hes always quick to point the finger at Long and others. His all round game is poor. Hes playing poor/average in a poor league

You said better opposition and Coventry are exactly that. When we played them they were in the automatic spots.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want either of them anywhere near the team but while they are keeping clean sheets let's not criticise them too much, eh?

 

[BouncinBlade]

I thought we had luck on our side against coventry and collins was run ragged. Long saved his blushes at least 2 or 3 times

Credit where credit is due, I'm happy with the results of late. I just feel with someone in Collins position the whole balance of the team would be better.
On the whole, UTB

Long...and the ref

There's room for improvement - but it might be that the Number One priority now is mobility and pace in midfield. To this extent I think we're better sticking with Collins and looking to improve elsewhere first. This might change again if Cuvelier gets fit and performs.

We live in hope
