Only Mendez-Laing and Hourihane have more assists. It's an area he needs to improve on, but he is capable of it, as shown by his 3 goals and 14 assists at Forest Green in 21/22 angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsdubs Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I feel like Collins is massively undervalued honestly, playing as a lone striker where service is everything putting in a shift for 90 mins week in week out. Decent goal return as well and he's one of our most vocal players out there every game. I have more beef with our wide men and centre mids, no one ever gets up there to support Collins up against both CBs. Mendez-Laing has an off game and we look pedestrian at best. ram59, Premier ram, sage and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MACKWORTHRAM Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Funny really that some of our fans are annoyed, concerned, angry that we don't seem to have any money to spend. I'm just reading up now on how Newcastle can't afford Solanke. Arsenal have to sell before they could buy. Money in football really isn't there is it. Newcastle are literally worth billions and billions and have still been told that will have to sell a star player to find a transfer spree. Wolves made over £150 million in player sales in the summer and they are dangerously close to a points deduction. Everton have had one. I can't imagine Forest are far off either.

CapeTownRams Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 3 hours ago, TomTom92 said: Weird one that we have 4 strikers already on the books and most would probably have happily seen Collins leave in the summer if it meant we could bring another in. Now he's our main man (due to his performances and the fact that Waghorn, Wash and TJJ have not set the world alight *shock*). But I do think we need another and IMO there's no snobbery going for a Smith, he's tried and tested and if its only a loan we aren't lumbered with him for next season. Another winger would be nice and in this respect I'd happily see Sibley leave if that frees up funds to bring a new winger in. Ward looks pony but can't see us offloading him until the summer and Waggy can't be relied to be the 4th winger with his injury issues. Whether we'll get CBT or have to dip in to the loan market is a mystery. I also agree a Idiakez type player would complete the set, Hourihane doesn't offer enough IMO. But I can't see us signing 3 so maybe this a pipe dream. Plus as unexcited I am by Hourihane and Bird, they have contributed to us being 4th so they can't be that bad. Intrigued by Waggy’s injury- not much has been said other than ‘calf’. I’m no sports doctor but wouldn’t the worse soft tissue calf injury be a completely torn muscle ? As bad as that is and can be I would have expected it to have healed before now. Obviously everyone heals differently, but he’s been out an awful long time… Ironic seeing as he seemed to be brought in as cover up-front and yet he’s been out so long- which does emphasize one very important aspect with Collins (touching wood) in that he’s always available… Chilwellram and TomTom92 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only this but the fact he’s available for every game despite being in the twilight of his career. He obviously really looks after himself off the pitch which is ironic seeing as I’ve lost count the amount of times I’ve seen people say he’s overweight.

valakari Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 5 hours ago, Anag Ram said: His intelligent play makes space and time for others. I’ve been impressed by his attitude. I haven’t seen a Derby player with quicker feet for a while and I love it when he makes defenders look daft. He should start every game for me, ideally on the right of a four man midfield. Ebiowei = very quick feet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's surely backup for the JCH deal, if true? I know Leaburn is injured for another few months but would be very strange to bump him that far down the pecking order when he was one of the standout young talents in the league last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
