Out of contract in the summer too. Sad to think that we *may* have seen the last of Collins in a Derby shirt.
On the flip side, imagine if he came back for the last few games, scoring the goal(s) to seal our promotion 😍

My dad finally lost his battle this morning at the ridiculous age of 64.
Over the past month or so, he got stuck in a cycle of having excess fluid drained, the fluid coming back, being drained again, etc. The fluid eventually got into his lungs and, on top of that, he had the cancer in the background (which they couldn't directly treat because of all of the draining), and a skin infection that eventually led to sepsis. It was just too many issues for him to fight, even though he gave it a damn good go.
He deteriorated rapidly last night to the point of being very agitated and delirious, and I got a call from the nurses to come in at 3am. I knew it was the beginning of the end then, and the decision was made to withdraw treatment at about 11am. He went very peacefully within the hour.
Part of me wants to carry on like normal - go to the match tomorrow and have a few drinks after - but the healthiest decision is probably to skip it and have a bit of alone time to process it all.
I echo the last sentence of my previous post too - f*** cancer.

There has to come a point where we fluke so many wins, that it can no longer be called a fluke.
Perhaps we're just an efficient, effective, but not particularly eye-catching side? 🤷‍♂️

I'd be surprised if he went anywhere else in League One.
Guaranteed starter in a winning side for at least the next 3 or 4 weeks, with good odds for another promotion on his CV. And I bet we can pay him a good wage too.
Who else would be more attractive at this moment in time?

I think we have a very solid defence and better than average attack that will tend to score at least once per game even in turd games. That will get plenty of points.
