I agree about the midfield/lack of service, definitely, but Collins didn’t go off til the 78th minute, so what you’re saying doesn’t add up: if we resorted to playing longball in the second-half (as you say), then, Collins has much more opportunity to benefit from it than Connolly did, yet AC did more in 12 mins than Collins did for the entire game. I think you’re splitting hairs a bit tbh.
All the best to Collins, but I think he’ll do little or nothing for us.

Long cant finish, Collins is a 6 yard box player, long is finished, 10 goals in 3yrs, his time is up

How so? Collins is a poacher, he needs to be fed the ball from the midfield or have balls crossed into the box from the wingers. He was isolated up top on his own yesterday, he didnt get the service so wasnt in the game, simple as. The fault lies our midfield.. Hendrick, Hourihane, Whelan and McClean were awful yesterday and instead of changing that.. we resorted to bypassing them altogether in the second half with long balls launched over the top. At that stage Collins was off, Connolly was on and the 2 chances that fell for him were from long balls! |

He played ok, but I think shabe long and Connolly should be ahead of him.

I agree that he may have something, possibly, to give at some stage but I think you’re being a little bit too kind in this instance.

Connolly received a good ball over the top, that's more than Collins did in the time he was on. I'm not saying Collins will ever be a regular for us, but he did nothing last night to deserve the savaging he's received from some.

To be fair, he received the same service that AC did when he came on, but did much less with it in a far longer period of time.

Collins will get 20 in championship this season, that cant be sniffed at when Long, McGoldrick, Robinson arent out and out goalscorers. Long has only passed the 10 goal mark 3 times in his career, he runs around and puts in a shift but rarely threatens in the box. He has done nothing in years. We have plenty on non scoring strikers to run around like a headless chicken.

Not sure how anyone can draw such damning conclusions on Collins on the basis of that game; you can be damn sure that if it was Connolly who started and put in exactly the same performance as Collins the knives wouldn't be out for him half as much. He won a few free kicks and in general received no decent service, hardly a good performance but certainly not enough to definitively state he's of absolutely no use to us going forward either.

Not sure about Obafemi either, but Collins is a joke.

Regardless of his performances, he should be commended for sticking to his principles, in fairness.

Fair enough regards McCarthy but this should be the last time he is left out Long has more than enough played to merit including in the squad Obafemi might not be great but he is quick and direct this will cause team’s problems and with the way we play he would get plenty of space to run into and worst he would win us a few set pieces and there is no way he offers less than Collins |

I can only think of members of the DUP who plan on using them for their own convenience after Brexit. It was a very stupid comment (maybe tongue in cheek?) that can only be excused, if it can be? by the frustrations of yesterdays match.
