It would appear there’s a fine line between contrarianism and madness…

How many random supporters tickets can they check at the box office before a game? Not many……

I can't get on board with the Collins disappointment as I had no idea who he was when he signed him, and then wasnt impressed by him early on when others were seemingly being impressed or given hope.
I know we have a few Football Manager types here, he feels to me like when you take a desperation job as not getting any offers, and you look at the previous transfers for the club and see they have paid 25million for a guy you haven't even been putting on the bench, and whose current value is about 2million.

I’m presuming purchase history may have triggered the random check. Something like only buying tickets for Villa at home and having a B postcode? Or they’ve clocked you’re a Facebook seller.

That's actually rubbish, the way he'd played for both Burnley and Ireland made it a very sensible and encouraging signing. No doubting the end result has been very disappointing, but the process was good. I'm not writing him off yet, chucking him alongside Kilman, playing for an idiot destroyed both of them. A year away is probably needed to salvage something though

Collins looked no worse than Kilman when they played together. In fact he often looked the better of the two. When Dawson signed everyone predicted it would be Collins who partnered him. Kilman has only looked fine again alongside Dawson. My guess is if Collins had been chosen I think everyone would be saying how Kilman is terrible and Collins is fine.
Collins has come on in a back three whenever he's subbed on so I'm not going to judge him any harsher on a tiny sample of short cameo appearances.

Initially Collins and Kilman didn't look terrible I thought, both had the occasional rick in them, but then they went through a collective rough patch, enter Dawson.
I wonder if JL thinks he can get more out of Collins with coaching ? he's still very young.

POTS Neves
Most improved Bueno
Biggest disappointment being involved in a relegation battle through unnecessarily sticking with a useless cunt at the start of the show
Best Signing Dawson
Worst signing Guedes
Most underrated Lemina. We were told to expect very inconsistent levels from him but I can only remember maybe two bad games.

Maybe you think my FM story is rubbish but he played less than 20 games for relegated Burnley who predominantly played in a regressive way and about similar for Ireland, where was the sensible or encouraging parts to that move for you Tony?

Don’t agree with the Collins/Kilman comparison. I don’t always agree with the (IMO OTT) Kilman view on here but I do agree he isn’t good enough long term. However I’ve never seen someone beaten in the channel so readily as Collins when both of them were in the team and also I’ve never seen someone trip over the ball so much for a “ball playing CB”, or any CB for that matter.
Can’t think of any aspect of defending where I think Collins is much better than Kilman but there’s plenty where I think he’s worse.

Well, I'd seen him play and you'd never heard of him so I'll back my eyes over your Google skills
