    In 15 months we’ve gone from being justifiably confident of beating Fleetwood in the playoffs, to fearing a battering.

    Edins reign in a nutshell

    I very much fear you could be right
    But City have/ had the habit of doing the unpredictable and win such games
    Unless that particular trait has been "shown the door" as well

    As you have already stated we have brought in some good players even though we are still short in key positions. If we had a manager who knew how to do it, we could still be ok. However, I just get impression that Collins is not imaginative and is painting this by numbers, but with key colours missing, he has no idea how. I am anticipating another defeat which is an awful thing to happen this early, and this maybe because I haven’t seen them yet, that pleasure awaits against Charlton!

    According to Collins " The shirts are up for grabs" so it will be interesting to see whether or not Wright is selected after last week's abject performance.

    It's one thing addressing the Wycombe performance by making lots of changes,but to hope to win the game you have to have the quality in reserve to compete.Putting a lot of youngsters in will probably make the scoreline embarrassing.

    It's really criminal. We dont have poor players. We have players that are leaderless and unmotivated.
    The omission of Kilgallon sums it up.
    This is a very sad time.

    I can accept losing tomorrow but I can’t accept not putting up a fight.

    For me tomorrow is all about the performance. If they roll over and go through the motions then Collins has to go.

    It's going to be a hard watch tomorrow. Clueless full backs, a non existent midfield, untried wingers and an isolated striker. Not to mention the mannequin himself.

    Surely another loss and he's gone?

    Mission impossible if you are travelling by train. The Mrs informs me our train is replaced by several buses and the overall journey will take 4 hours.

    Options
    1. Sit on Broncos knee on the Corn Dolly party bus
    2. Take the car - no beers

    No tickets on sale for Blackpool (10:30), but on sale for Doncaster? Major plus the online tickets let’s you buy for two people.

    We aren't losing at Fleetwood, end of discussion.

    Fleetwood.

    Not even a real place, let a lone a real club.

    Draw MINIMUM.

    It's yet another cliché from the football management for dummies book.

    It means absolutely nothing as players should be playing for their shirt every week and if the manager feels he needs to tell them that his authority and respect level must be close to zero.
