    I think Nutsy has lost the plot completely, but probably shouldn't lose his job just yet, he's proven himself 2 years running!!!

    Collins can go away, it seems to have started when he joined the club, and nedds to go NOW!!!
    Sitting pretty!!!

    i have voted for fenlon to go! i just think that his decision making has being very bizarre lately-why o neill and ryan are not playing more often is beyond me!

    but i hope that the club dont sack him until the season is over allow our lot to steal third place!

    odds on reynolds being manager instead?
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    I'm not going to vote - as a UCD fan, I don't know the ins and outs exactly - but something has to change. I don't think what's happening at Tolka is just an off season or bad luck. The team selections have been ludicrous, the style of football is getting worse and the team just isn't performing. I think at this stage, it's not a knee-jerk reaction. Something's wrong and something has to change - whether that's Collins, Fenlon or something else, I don't really know.

    I voted No (i want a weak Shels)

    As Manager Fenlion has to take responsibility for this season.

    1. Heary was injured yet he persisted playing Brennan at fullback but he was woeful. IMO should have played Stewie Byrne there.

    2. Hoolahan may have had injuries but he was totally underused this season as one of most skillful players in the league.

    3. Crowe has been a failure this season, he is not suited to crosses from halfway line. Should be playing Fitzpatrick for that option.

    4. Fenlon brought in O'Neill & Fitzpatrick but when forwards not performing hsi next option was Harris.

    5. Shels give away too much possession & with crap defense means will leak goals. Amazing a squad of quality midfielders cannot retain possession.

    I voted yes, based on what I saw on tv. against Cork City, Shels with all their players play hoofball. Players need to go and quick.

    Crawley, Baker, Cahill, Crowe, Baker and Fenlon should be given the boot.I agree with J.Soap. Fenlon has probably wrecked Bobby Ryans career the same way Houllier wrecked so many Liverpool players either by not playing him or playing him out of position.Also someone like Ndo not getting a game??????beggars belief playing Fleming in midfield ahead of Moore.......what was that all about, ye deserve to be so far behind Cork because they are a far better side than Shels now, and play more entertaining football also.

    Oh we're quite capable of playing entertaining football - against Bohs some of our play was a joy to watch.
    Fenlon has already said there will be a clearout at the end of the season.
    Everybody has said this person should come in, and then person should go, but in reality, almost everybody has had their opportunities this year, with the possible exception of Glenn Fitzpatrick. The likes of Ryan, Baker and Moore have been brilliant in some games and muck in others. The only ones he seems to persist with are Crowe and Byrne up front, neither of whom have sparkled.
    Still, I believe we've been tactically very naive this year, indisciplined and given away too many sloppy goals. But as someone who remembers how it used to be, I'd be happy for Pat to stay on. He deserves the chance to try and turn it round.
    As for Collins, I have no idea how much influence he has tactically. Does anyone? Yes he goes mad on the line, but so do most managers, including Dolan, Rico, Doolin, Farrelly etc

    Crowe has been playing very well!! He is missing sitters but his all round game is great. He has put in 10 times the effort that Jason Byrne has so to lable them in the same sentence is a little unfair.

    Crowe again last night was one of the few who cared. Jason Byrne was pure sh!t

    I originally voted No but i think now easier to sack Fenlon (surely final indignity is losing to 1/2 reserve UCD team?) than replace half the squad.

    When good players play crap its the Managers fault.

    In fairness, it wasn't our reserve team. There were only three changes from Friday - two of them up front, where we have a ridiculous number of options and needed to give them a run.

    I don't see it as an indignity to lose at home to UCD. They're a decent team, and I can see them winning the thing outright now.
    The Bohs game, btw, was not the only game in which we've played great football. And yes, our season is toast, but I'd rather be in our position than in all except two or three other clubs positions.

    I voted no. Largely because I think if Shels emerge from this current season improved and with Fenlon on board he will be a better manager for the experience. You learn far more in football when things go pear shaped than when you have success. The problem I believe is that Eamon Collins seems to have run out of options tactically. He is reputed to be an excellent coach. But he seems to have exhausted his playbook as the Americans would call it.

    How you've come to this conclusion I don't know. Crowe is slow and doesn't do much for us in games. I'd prefer if he'd give O'Neill a chance ahead of Crowe.
