Chippenham v Torquay Tue 23rd

[aggrey_25]

hes classed as a striker and scored 2 goals in 57 games for newport. so not a forward or goalscorer. being then used as a winger he hasnt performed so i think poor signing when there could have been much better options.

[desperado]

As Portugull stated Chippenham had a very poor home record , only 4 wins out of 15.
I was a bit taken aback by Johnson saying "they are a passing team so we decided to let them have the ball and hit them on the break" ....??
Is that the way a team going for promotion should play against a team who are struggling at home ? Perhaps he is practising for Saturday when those tactics may be more suitable. Worthing have scored the most goals at home this season with 34 , more than Yeovil
so I am expecting a severe testing. I wont be listening.

[The Great Muta!]

The thing is, when Claims signed most fans were happy, then he plays X number of games, and people turn around and say he's a poor signing,but he wasn't deemed a poor signing in the first place, I'm genuinely not trying to be clever or have some strange logic, but he wouldn't of played over 50 games in league 2 if he was shite, he's come to us, and I'm not sure what goes on at the club, if it's training methods,tactics, or GJ and his ability to unlock talent, but something happens when skilled players arrive, they suddenly became poor or lose form, I think if Collins was given a free signing now, a NL would pick him up, I'm pretty sure of that, I've haven't been drinking early!, anyhow I totally respect aggrey_25 views, this is what this platform is for, to express views.

[Guildford Gull]

collins has proven a poor signing, and tonight showed what a real lack of firepower we have upfront.

if foyo has gone back that is another terrible piece of recruitment, WE NEED A STRIKER!!

what's even more worrying is the pack lining up behind us, lose a few more and we will be 12/13th quite easily with an uphill battle

Yet another terrible loan signing. I'd love to know how much Pete Johnson gets paid for scouting these players.

[UnitedinDevon]

Feb is stacked with games, we need a couple extra loanees asap

[aggrey_25]

Weston signed 6ft 3 bristol city defender....... what is wrong with us

[desperado]

Collins should be well good enough for us, played in a League 2 play off final at Wembley, got a two year contract then a further 2 year contract but he like several others have flattered to deceive, hasn't really done enough or delivered when it matters

[leetufc]

Collins is an odd one. He has spells where he plays really well, such as the run in last season, and I do agree with some of the comments that there is a decent player in there.

However there have been numerous games this season where I have barely noticed him in the game, he is just anonymous. More often than not I have no idea where he is actually playing or what his role is - I don't know if that is his fault or GJs setup

[culmstockgull]

Collins is a conundrum, I have seen him play some very good games, I have seen games when I wasn't sure he was ever on the pitch and many when he should not have been on the pitch, his bio shows him a left winger, not a wingback and not a central striker. how many of our games this season have players been played out of position becuase of an unbalanced squad. Johnson is incapable of modern thinking or tactics where football is concerned, I am sure he thinks that you are a pro footballer you can play anywhere, how many players have left us in the last few seasons who while under johnsons tutelage have been considerecd not up to scratch and have gone on to be very successful at others clubs with better coaching.

And here is the reason for GJ to go.

[Jpr]

I Think I know how GJ picks where players will line up on the pitch for a match, just before they come out for kick off he will place there shirt numbers in a black bag and randomly pick them out,

[aggrey_25]

Duku signed for maidstone, certain to score against us

[portugull]

Having seen the Highlights that looked like a very committed performance in truly horrible conditions. No wonder the gate was only 651.

What a chance for Collins at the end. Easy to say I know as he only had a split second to react but anywhere other than where he hit it was a certain goal from just 5 yards out.
