    I think so. It was made clear that Edin has hired so positive PR people in the summer.

    @AJP@AJP another of Edin's puppet muppets!

    Why not get buy Doyle a strike partner and he'll have no need to worry about social media comments ?.

    Yes I'll go along with the lad Miller, after Burton many thought he'd learnt, although far from a great performance it got us three points, so what does Collins do goes to a formation that has our lone striker Doyle playing around the half way line to pull Wycombes CDs out so Seedorf can use his pace to run riot, that went well.

    One of the stupidest ideas I can remember.

    I know, two up front worked well, switch out a hard working forward for a lazy winger!

    Fans can accept losing if the passion and effort is there so far it's nowhere near and we are lucky to even have 6pts on the board.

    'Collude' is a very strong word. I would boo them off after that performance but over the years I have seen many, many, many worse performances and many, many, many better.

    I am simply not hitting the panic button. Sometimes plans take a while to come together.

    We gave other managers and regime the time. Let's give this group the same.

    I'm all for giving it time if :
    a) I can see there is a plan
    and
    b) there are signs said plan is coming together.

    At the moment I can't see either of these things so although I'm not quite at the hitting the panic button stage just yet, my finger is hovering ever closer.

    Edin Rahic is not qualified for and has no record of running a club.

    Collins has no experience of even first team coaching let alone football management.

    On what basis will 'more time' help?

    If my 8 year old son decided to take my car keys and go for a drive, I wouldn't give him time to get the hang of it. I'd get him the f*ck out of the car before he causes a mess.

    Did your old father talk to you about allowing others to express their discontent as well whether you agree or not? No? Your post comes across as arrogant, pompous and a clear disregard for others views. If you think this is not a crisis, that is your view, you do not get to make your snide comments about other posters.

    I was giving Collins chance but one up front at home to a bottom four team is UNACCEPTABLE. He’s out of his depth by about the size of marianna’s trench

    The result although bitterly disappointing, against a team that had not won a league match all season and had only progressed to the second round of the EFL, after a penalty shoot out, was bad enough. However it was the manner of the defeat, which was very hard to take. Simply put, we appeared to have no structure, could not use the ball constructively and were flattered by the final score!

    Yes other ‘managers’ have been given more time. However Collins is not a manager and never ever has been. Previously he was the part time coach of the under 18’s, who I understand did not perform well under his guidance. He suddenly becomes the ‘Coach’ of a team where half the new recruits in the summer had already signed. So he has not had much influence on the appointment of half the team. Frankly I fear that he is well out of his depth, and feel he has been encouraged to take on a roll, tha he is not currently equipped for. I actually think he was foolish to accept the role of Head Coach.

    I am not hitting the panic button, but I am deeply concerned that the situation is going into a ‘tail spin’.
    I am sure that you remember clubs like Stockport County, York city, Darlington, Chester and even Southport, who now play their football in the National League North. I guess some of their fans may have struggled to see the potential demise, when they were members of the Football Laeague, a bit like some City fans at the moment!

    Finally you say ‘let’s give this group the same’, in respect to ‘time’! So how long is this time? Perhaps three more games? Because if we get well beaten and have not got at least three points out the possible nine (and that is difficult to say but t realistic, given the fixtures), then I think more than enough time has elapsed. I look forward to your considered response.

    Not a hater. Always backed the manager and board in trying circumstances.
    Parky and McCall required backing and were by most fans. We knew where we stood.
    The current regime in comparison is clueless.
    They quoted having. a 3 year plan to get city into the championship. This is year 3.
    We have a rookie manager who is motionless and appears just to be a puppet. We have Edin who has dismantled the apparatus around the club and not replaced it. Bar the pitch which fair play looks good.
    We were told that the owners had learned lessons last season after it imploded.
    What do we have. A disinterested team that lacks fight not fit to wear the shirt.
    This same team is supposed to be getting us up.
    So in conclusion yes there’s a load of us very unhappy. I’m not a happy clapper and I’m not a fordy but when I see shit I call it accordingly.
    And that’s what it is garbage.

    Admire your efforts to introduce some perspective but that was up there with the absolute worst of City I've witnessed in 40+ years ! and Jesus knows I've witnessed some absolute tripe at times.
