    Well, nothing would surprise me at the moment.

    Thankyou and @Bronco@Bronco, this isn't for me though I already have my ticket (sadly). My friend was looking to join me but won't know until last minute whether he can come.

    All positive from the training ground :
    Collins believes Nicholson’s arrival will act as a pick-me-up as he plays a significant role in training.
    City’s head coach said: “It’s a massive area at any club, especially the way the game’s gone. You’re competing nowadays against teams that are building their game around stats and GPS.

    Without doubt a performance specialist is a vital part of any club with regards players, why when we knew Robert Lossau was only here temporary didn't we have one lined up and possibly work along side Lossau if needed until he left.

    But Collins has been encouraged by what he has seen in training in the light of that woeful Valley Parade display.
    “I don’t expect anybody to be feeling down in the dumps or lacking in confidence,” he added. “It’s been a good week and there has been no hangover from Wycombe
    “I’ve seen a real intensity and resolve which tells me these players were hurt last Saturday by the performance and the understandable reaction.I'd suggest that is probably more to do with O@Connors article in the T&A, but that's water under the bridge now.

    So a big game coming up on Saturday at Fleetwood the backroom staff and players have done all they can to get last Saturdays debacle out of their systems.
    We may have a couple of new faces (I'm not sure if that's a good thing to add more new faces on the day to Saturday's squad) so no excuses you start with a clean sheet, just pull those Claret & Amber shirts on and go out there and give us your all, if at the end of 90 minutes we have lost the game us fans will accept that, but please don't give us a gutless performance as last Saturday.

    If we come out of today thinking 'yes we can turn this around' by everyone playing like they give a toss including the coaches then I'll be happier.

    But I think it will be a 4-0 drubbing with us thinking yep league 2 here we come.

    I agree, irrespective of the result, a positive performance in terms of effort and a coherent looking game plan that doesn't leave Doyle so isolated would be major pluses for me today.

    Unfortunately I don't think the above will happen and we're probably in for a spanking.

    It's time to put pressure on Collins on the Board.

    "We want Collins out"

    "You don't know what you're doing"

    "Sack the board"

    We need to start making our feelings clear.

    Time to stop being a pus&y and voice up.

    Fingers crossed we see a reversal in performances- we can only hope. It is disappointing we did not have continuity with a fitness coach since returning to training but as usual we have an unprofessional approach by the club leaving us without one. MC now claiming the new one will be a catalyst to an up turn in our fortunes well that is new one I suppose.

    See this is total madness!

    If edin knows football, why on earth have we been trying to get anywhere WITHOUT a fitness coach? It’s not 1972!!!

    And i still dont get why he didnt back McCall with players then gets rid of him, THEN DOES go for good players, but doesnt get a proper manager/coach!

    Edin you are a disaster for this club and you know it...we will
    Never let you turn this club into a feeder club, the fans wont accept it but i doubt you will even be able to succeed at that.. leave now while you can get your investment back becuase 22nd place in League 2. When you are trying to sell up will not get you much back.

    Agree, it’s all well and good putting up a fight today which I expect but leave Doyle on his own will just mean a narrow loss, so no point fannying around just play 442

    If we do that it will mean long ball with no body to receive it. The team has been built to play through midfield we will have to make it work
