For all of his knockers out there, where would we have been without him over the last few weeks?
He has been the only fully fit striker at the club and has had to play most of the game week in, week out. We've had no Washington, no Waggy and a part time JJ. Collins has basically carried our strike force over this good run. Yes, NML has contributed, but without Collins, I think that we would be adrift of the play offs.
We definitely need someone else in, to compliment Collins, unless we're prepared to take a risk on other players fitness.
Also Collins is well on his way to a 2 match suspension for 10 yellows by game 37.

I personally don't think that the team were playing how Warne wanted them to earlier in the season. He was making the same critical comments as we were, in post match interviews. Even now, after this good run, I still believe that he's not completely happy with the way they're playing. 
I believe that we're yet to see true 'Warne ball', how he  wishes it to be played.

Those saying that every time Bradley plays, it's a disaster, need to look at the results. Yes, he's not made the impression we expected but the only 'disaster' defensive wise in the last 11 league games has been on New Year's Day, one of the few games in that run when he stayed on the bench.

I think this idea that Warne doesn’t like technical players is a myth, to be honest.
Over his time here, he has shown he will play players who earn his trust and the more technical players have usually been the ones to do that.
He plays Bird and Hourihane in midfield at every opportunity for starters and neither player could ever be considered a ‘runner’. Players like Mendez Laing and Wilson are favoured over less technical players like Ward and Barkhuizen. Forsyth and Nelson are preferred to Elder and Bradley because they are better technically.
McGoldrick was our best player last season and played at every opportunity under Warne too.
Warne values pressing, running and the fitness of his players, absolutely. But clearly he also appreciates that you need good, technical footballers to reap the rewards of that.

Happy days, singing 'I'm dreaming of a white christmas' in the snow storm at the end of the game.

I thought that Vickers made a brilliant save in the first half, the ref didn't agree and gave a goal kick. It would be interesting to hear from Vickers as to whether he got a touch to it.

A fit Waggy for the rest of the season, would be helpful.

Me too, I said weeks ago that 'Pompy' weren't that great, but I was impressed with Peterborough on Monday.

That Portsmouth result not only tightens things up, but shows that they're not invincible, with a number of points dropped recently to relegation threatened teams.

Dug this old thread out, just to say well done to Fozzy.
I remember seeing him flying down the left and whipping in some terrifying crosses and thinking he was some player.
Then I saw him being given a lesson at home against Wolves and thought he was finished, likewise with the three ligament injuries.
But then he reinvents himself as a CD when needs must, with the signings of Nelson, Bradley and Elder I thought his days would be number.
But no Fozzy has re reinvented himself as a LB again and is keeping people out - assisting and scoring.
What an absolute legend, what a club man
