He's done well for us and has managed to avoid injury since he joined but I'm not convinced I'd want him as a regular starter this next season. Wouldn't be a great idea to have him as a back-up defender as I think you need to be playing regularly to keep your fitness up at his age. That said, it appears he's likely to re-sign for another year so hopefully he'll do well enough to prove my doubts wrong.

He was the best player on the pitch in a lot of the games i saw last season. Think people get too hung up on age. He's old-ergo he must be slow and unfit.

Of the two I would prefer Collins any day of the week. He's an old, experienced professional who has played at the highest UK level. Pair him with a youngish centre-back with potential and I think we will be ok in that department. I know it's all water under the bridge but it still rankles me that Slade insisted on bringing Clarke in last summer and ultimately Pearson was sacrificed. If we had had that pairing ( Collins and Pearson )then I don't think our goals against tally would have been so high but onwards and upwards. The Future is Black & White.

People were saying Disley's legs were going when he was 33. It's only a matter of time before someone mentions the name Paul Futcher, so I've just done it now to save you all the bother I measure players on what they've shown. To me, Collins doesn't play like a grandad. He's good enough at 37 so why suddenly is 38 a problem? Good on the bloke for going this long. Most people who played in the Prem retire at the top and don't bother giving something back lower down the leagues. "Don't shine that light in my face, mate - I've just lost a pint of blood."

I think we need to freshen it up at centre back imo and they are Ideal back up if needed and experience in the dressing room. GTFC
