Dropping Collins is absolutely essential. We all knew yesterday was coming. He isn't good enough . Anyone sensible would be dropping JDS for Bidwell as well. I was not keen on Lampard if he plays Collins I will be hugely pissed off.

Madness.

You would expect a small guy to be fairly agile and manoeuvrable, probably quick off the mark (to somewhat offset the problems with his size). He ain't that. People continually leave him flat footed, turn him and get the wrong side of him. He has no defensive positives.

Nonsense. He bought in the Barnsley back 3 to play together.

If that's true why aren't we mid table now?

Let's hope we get Dovin, Kitching and Bidwell in for Collins, Binks and JDS. I doubt it. If he plays Collins the shit will absolutely hit the fan.

The trouble is Lampard doesn't really know the ability of the players until he tries them out. He's in for a surprise with our keepers.

TBF he didn't get that much ball. But agree he needs to be braver and be given license to attack away from home more. But If we see blowing out Tatsu as some priority we really have serious problems.

The diving over the ball seems to be his style. As is diving randomly if someone blasts it towards goal and there's almost a falling over cartwheel action. His punching is my favourite feature though.

He was on Burnley's books but never played for them. He was loaned out. He came to us from his loan at Barnsley where he played 22 games.

Maybe a fantasy but I hope we can do something with Thomas and maybe even Eccles. Torp is an interesting one but I'm not sure he's quick or aggressive enough for the Championship.

Robins bought Collins to be our number 1 keeper. He apparently was impressed with the Barnsley league 1 defence following their relegation. Robins took chopping and changing to new heights and had no clue what his best 11 was. I assume Lampard was trying to find a stable 11 after a few half...

So King was mainly interested in the CBS that's why he bought us? He lost out buying the CBS to Fraser's but bought the club hoping that some time unknown in the future he can buy it at some unknown price and I assume then sell it to some dope and make a fortune? Is that the theory?

What real estate?

He played to the players. Let's see what money Lampard gets and what happens in January. I can't believe Lampard took the job unless he had reasonable funds and authority over transfers. It's a last chance saloon for him.

I suspect he said something to keep player moral up while he was putting a big change in place, replacing the manager. He isn't gonna say it's a bit shit and Robin's pissed the money is he? No doubt Lampard agreed a January war chest to improve the team from the mess we're in. We'll see what the...

Doug should hang up his boots... He backed Robins big time with money for squad improvement and he fooked it up.

So what's not true?

Let's be honest most of the mess regarding the quality of our squad is down to Robins. The Barnsley trio, JDS, Binks and probably Dovin, BTA all strange buys. Doug is liable if he blanket ruled out the purchase of older, experiences players or loans. But whatever, what came in for our...

Let's face it all 3 of our keepers lack confidence, have trouble catching the ball and are poor at commanding their areas. Dovin is probably the best. But we should have recruited a far better keeper given our defence is a disorganised mess and weak as piss.
