Collins' sacking was "based on an unsatisfactory start to the season and performances not being good enough," chairman Edin Rahic said in a statement on the club website, external.

His successor will be the fourth man to take full-time charge at Valley Parade this year.

Ian Crossley has been helping out at the RSPB nature reserve, but says some people, especially children, close the wrong eye or both eyes when trying to look through the lens.

He took the lens out of one side and painted the other with black nail varnish and he says they've have proved a hit with aspiring birdwatchers.

Ian said: "By wearing the spectacles you don’t need to decide which eye to close or even close one at all. You just look through the lens with the eye that isn’t blacked out’.
