Eddie Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 2 minutes ago, MackworthRamIsGod said: Top of the table? Because without him we wouldn't be scoring, we wouldn't be as high in the table, Clowes may have been pressured into sacking Warne, a new manager comes in, a new striker is signed, he scores more than Collins, we are top. Simple 😉 Whilst I appreciate that the above post is made in jest, 'Sack Warne' isn't an option, is it? Last week, it was 'revealed' that we are having to juggle finances between a so-called 'loan pot' and 'perm pot' to get anyone (CBT) through the door - I would think it highly unlikely, under the circumstances, that we have a 'Sack Warne' pot.

We are still under the EFL/Kieran Maguire/Gibson/Parry protocol that stops us competing. Sacking Warne will not be an option for us from a financial perspective, jono, Eddie, Crewton and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Great goal today but where have the offsides come from all of a sudden? Last few games it seems he has been caught quite a few times. Unlike him. Overeager to stay further forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe knows we’re not currently at our best as a team so is trying to force things where he can? Also the offsides can partly be attributed to the timing of the pass can’t it? So with the team not in the best moment is the “wavelength” off between them all. angieram, Premier ram and europia 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hesitancy in playing the forward pass is what is catching him (and others) offside. Ironic, really, when earlier passes to get the ball out wide are played too soon , that the final killer pass isn't coming naturally.

I thought it when watching Reading the other night too and recently in this poorer run, we’re overly cautious in the final third, like the confidence we had a few games ago has gone. Pressure? Coaching (though Bird said post match Warne’s been doing 1 on 1 finishing training with him)? Just a collective dip? Whatever it is we could do with them working it out sooner rather than later. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 In the close season, when McGoldrick moved on, it was hard to see where the goals would come from. Collins has been immense. For his scoring, for his defending, and for his staying fit when all around him are injured. I would love it if he makes it over 200 league goals this campaign, as he should. Probably not many of them have been better than yesterday's volley which, according to Wiki, took him to 192. ck-, Tamworthram, Caerphilly Ram and 7 others 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaahnRam Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I found Collo a frustrating player last season but this year cannot fault either his goalscoring or his all round contribution. Yes he lacks quality at times but always gives absolutely everything which can't sometimes be said of others. Even after scoring the winner yesterday people still bitching about him really beggars belief r_wilcockson, angieram, JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta and 7 others 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I'm a big Collins fan. Works his arse off and scores goals. At this level he's doing exactly what we need him to do. Ramrob, angieram, Premier ram and 6 others 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamLad1884 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Collins does exactly what he told us he’d do, he scores goals. He’s not always going to be a stand out player but he’s a natural goalscorer in the purest sense of the word. Let our wingers be the flair players, we just need our striker to put the ball in the net. Caerphilly Ram and SKRam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollycutts1982 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 With Collo as with all strikers it is about service, at times this season we could have Kane, Mbappe and Haaland up top and they wouldn't score. What I like about him is he scores all types of goals, I just wish at times he would stay more central and not run the channels as much. He is having a great season and fair play to him. Many wanted him replaced but he's currently the only striker left standing, literally, which is a credit to him. Carl Sagan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think in his wildest dreams is he going to drop a shoulder, do someone for pace over a few yards and ping one in the top bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
