When all his problems are behind him and he is fit to play he is going to have to really improve to come up to league 2 standard from what we have seen up to now. If he can do that in 10 games then good on him but does that mean we have to sit through 10 games of dross.
Collins was poor for the first two months of last season and he was used to League 2. Can't begin to judge Thomas until he's played at least 10 league games.
Collins scored 5 times in the first two months. If that was poor well good luck to TV.
TV hates Crawley and in a desperate attempt to get away he hit himself repeatedly on the knee with a stale burger bunĀ
Funnily enough, I heard something along those lines. The story I was told, stated that he missed his knees on several occasions and when he did make contact, it didn't really hurt as the contact was minimal due to the slow and lethargic manor in which he swung his arm.
Give the guy a chance... Hes adapting to moving country, playing in a different league, family issues at home and now, an injury! Collins was poor for the first two months of last season and he was used to League 2. Can't begin to judge Thomas until he's played at least 10 league games.
He has been judged fully and it is quite clear he is way off the pace of a footballer even at conference south level He will be gone by the end of the season
I suppose we've no choice, but to persevere with him after giving him a three year deal, which is a long contract for a club of our size. It was always a gamble giving him a three year deal, but it's still too early to give up on him, nobody else will take him so we're stuck with him.

Tad unfortunate on the contract side isn't it.
Verheydt - 3 year deal - unfit Sanoh - 2 year deal - about 30 mins league football this season Cox - 3 year deal - can't make the squad Djalo - 2 year deal - can't make the squad Collins - 3 year deal - didn't fancy it after 1 Randall - 2 year deal - no impact

You are right (as i have many time previous) to point out these riddiculous deals. absolutely mad.
Makes my blood boil that we replaced James Collins with Thomas Van shxxx.
The self famed Crawley Town recruitment dept have played a blinder.
James Collins wouldn't have needed replacing if he hadn't put James Collins first and jumped ship, the club are better off without selfish assholes like him
