Ramfan1958 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Might not be everyone's favourite but Collins puts 100% every match runs his socks off. Waghorny, Pikeyram, DerbyAleMan and 8 others 1 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaltRam Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I went so far as to say he was, in terms of technical ability, the worst first choice striker we've ever had. I'd be obliged to add that no first choice striker has ever worked harder. On balance, I've grown to love him.

Boycie Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 He’s scored a few, he’s missed a few, makes me wonder how many McGoldrick would have scored with our supply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I've found plenty of things to criticise over Warne's tenure. Collins has never been one of them. He's put the graft in and scores goals. I've no idea why a section of our fanbases doesn't get behind him.

BOB BIGGS Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 What I like about him is the fact that he gives everything and scores goals. i don’t expect anything more than that from a centre forward in Division 1.

DRBee Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Collins likeability falls as his offside rate rises. But we would be up shyyte creek if he got injured. Was he done for offside at all this evening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabby'sThighs Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 He's the kind of player I would loathe if he was playing against us - a scrappy, fighty, argumentative sod who throws his weight around and bullies defenders - and I didn't take to him at first. He's often offside and, while his willingness to close down is to be commended, he often charges in, misses the tackle, and leaves a big gap behind himself. But what he lacks in technical ability he more than makes up for with work-rate, stamina, strength, and determination. And, dammit, he has scored regularly enough to justify himself. A number of great headers and that fantastic scissor-kick. I'd love it if he got to 20 league goals.

Poynton ram Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I too have warmed to him and boy does he run his socks off. When he went down clutching his knee and players were gesturing to the bench I thought he was done for. But he dusted himself down and made a Lazarus like recovery and was even sprinting around like a man possessed in the 95th minute. Strikes me just like Cash and Nelson and now Adams he’s one that will get stuck in. Is he out of contract in the summer? MickD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I have no idea why people don't rate/like him. If we'd brought back Chris Martin in the summer, and had the exact same output fans would be creaming all over themselves, saying how good he's been. I reckon it's just a case of his face not fitting. I for one love the lad, he's everything you want in a League 1 striker.

Ram-Alf Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Just a little point of contention concerning JC continually being caught offside, Now I've not witnessed this as I neither go to PP or watch on RTV only read it on here, Has anyone ever thought that the reason he's offside is because the player with the ball holds on to it just that little to long...just a thought 🤷♂️ DavesaRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
