If, hypothetically speaking, the senior players don't buy into MJs methods, are they right to undermine him or should they buy into his ways? I see nothing by the way of leadership on the pitch and without this, the younger players seem to be like headless chickens. Nothing about Collins, Welsh and Woolford inspires me and yet they are in the first 11 in front of some decent looking youngsters every week.

I get that you could replace Welsh with Clifton and Woolford with Wright but which youngster would replace Collins? I'm guessing Famewo but he's out injured for two weeks.

Hypothetically speaking, if senior players don't buy in, they should (after discussing it with the manager), shut the intercourse up and do their best to follow the plan. If they don't like it they should urine off at the next available opportunity. I'd resent paying to see players not doing their best.

I wonder if it is Jolley telling Collins to keep backing off all the time and what he really wants to do is tackle the man or nip in and pinch the ball then storm up the field and put a 35 yarder into the top corner.

There's a lot of talk that there's this senior player clique that's running the show, but do we know if that's the actual case for definite?
If it is indeed the case then bin them off straight away, don't care who they are. No player is bigger than the club and quite frankly there's not a single player in the team at the minute who wouldn't benefit from doing some self-reflecting rather than trying to influence others.

Who knows? You cannot keep backing off, you need to eventually step out and try and tackle or at the very least hold up the attacker. Their 1st goal on Sat a prime example but where was Welch? He should not be getting ahead of the ball. He should be playing a few yards in front of the centre backs, protecting them from opponents running from deep. He hasnt got the energy to cover every blade of grass, he needs to do the job of a sitting, protective centre mid allowing others to get up and support.

Which is what we signed him for wasn't it? Protecting a back 3 and allowing 2 more energetic midfielders to push forward. He can't play in a 4-4-2. Poor Hessenthaler spent most of Saturday doing doggies up and down the pitch trying to cover every blade of grass, hardly getting a touch of the ball in the process. The other consideration from Saturday is that we had Embleton on the left but he naturally drifted inside and Woolford on the right coming in on his natural side which left big gaps out wide. With Harry Davis ridiculously out of position down the left we were exposed all over the place. Welsh's natural game is to cover others but he can't cover that many gaps. I think Collins has gone, I hate to say it because it's the end of a career and up until now he's served us really well. In a balanced and well oiled side he could probably get away with it for a bit. But a player who has lost his legs in a disjointed side, no chance.
