The trend that has started of using players' given names rather than surnames is annoying.
Though, of course it hardly hurts anyone and people's personal posting style is their own concern.
It still annoys me, though.
He fits in tactically very well with how we are playing at the moment, and is also captaining the side.
He may not start every game from now until the end of the season, but if he stays fit, I can see him playing a big part in it.
I was going on the premise of £3-4m for initial outlay.
Not through the roof, but for a club of our means, we have to be getting those sorts of transfers right.
Not really sure what that has to do with my statement, which is still true; for a modern footballer he has poor technique.
He has good games and is in good form at the moment, but he needs to do it far more consistently and over a prolonged period to convince me that he was a good signing for...
If you say so, but most I saw was reasoned doubt.
Most of the frustration I saw (and voiced) was aimed at the players. Who, in fairness, were probably utterly demoralised over having Collins behind them.
Admit I was wrong?
I didn't say any of those things, and didn't lay any of the blame for the ropey early performances on him at all. I don't think anyone sensible did.
I said that I had my doubts he'd be a good appointment prior to him arriving, and I'll be very happy to be proved wrong on...
There wasn't hate, just question marks over whether he'd be a good appointment, which were reasonable.
He's looking good so far, though. Long may it continue.
