I always quite liked him. Just think he was a bit past it by the time he signed for us.

I actually shudder when I think of the times watching Fenlons teams. Loan players who were brutal last min jan or summer dross. Collins would score goals in this side I’ve no doubt about that. His attitude wasn’t the best though that’s for sure.

The only striker I have ever seen that made his most dynamic runs from the edge of the box back to the half way line. He looked scared to score most of the time.

Yep.
Edit - as in I agree with you. Not “yes there has been a player with more excuses” :)

Fenlon wasn't the villain.

Will always remember when he was put clear at Tynecastle with a 5-10 yard head start on the half way line and not only did the centre half get to the ball frst, Collins was so far behind him he wasn't even able to make a challenge.
In summary, an absolute huddy.

He inherited an absolute shambles and actually did magnificently to achieve what he did for a year and a half with loan signings etc.
He could drill a defence and put a team out that wouldn't lose many goals, that is for sure.
But Fenlon must take some responsibility for the mess we found ourselves in and the reason for that is the level of attacking threat he put together once Griffiths, Doyle, Wotherspoon and Claros left. Fenlon put the squad together that Butcher then took down and it has taken a few years to appreciate how awful that team was going forward. Yes, Fenlon got a decent shift out of the likes of Maybury, McGivern, the much-maligned Nelson and others and would in all possibility have bored us to safety. But that was an awful attacking threat he had in that team, we couldn't score goals and imo that's why we ultimately went down.
Fenlon's last summer was a disaster.
I quite like Fenlon and don't really blame him. What he inherited was infinitely worse than I think any of us realise, and his overachievement for so long with scant resource raised our expectations a bit. But i honestly think the disastrous failure to address the goalscoring department that summer was as much a reason for our relegation as Butcher's, ahem, "man management" style.

He ... and the other Muppet Vine .. were examples of why I fell out of love with my beloved Hibs ... should never have been anywhere near a Hibs strip in his puff !!!

There were no similarities between Fenlon's points return and Butcher's that season...Fenlon was sitting about 1.4 points per game that season...Butcher ended about 0.6 points per game (i'm estimating from memory but it really was on a completely different level...)

Not sure how he can be 5th and dropping like a stone. He was 5th, we dropped like a stone when we hounded him out.
Massive reason I think fan ownership would be a bad idea. Too much passion, no logic. He wasn't the answer but all we had to do was suck it up for 6 months and he was away. Instead we got relegated.

Is the show not done in Tranent, wonder what brings him up here as he seems like he'd be too baw heeded to come up from Luton to do a local radio show.
He was murder in a murder team and more interested in George Street. Well rid.''It's always been just part of the culture.

The guy had nothing at this level apart from work rate. Pace? Composure? Finishing? Flair? Touch? Technique? Hold up play? Creativity? nope.
Guys like Collins, Vine, and Matt Done , who have flourished in the Lower leagues down south and looked out their depth with Hibs point to the lower English leagues being pretty gash.

Came across rather well too.
Wasn’t great for us but always gave 100%. Which is more than can be said for a fair few around that time.

Some way OTT comments on here about James Collins. My view of him is he always gave 100% in a poor side and scored a few goals in a low scoring defensively minded team lacking in creativity. Miles away from being anywhere near the worst strikers ever to play for Hibs. He would have scored plenty with better players around him.
