No I'm not saying the interview made him good or bad. I just mean I wonder if someone picked up on the vibe he gave off during it and had a word with him which gave him some assurances about the potential and ambitions of the club matching his.
I know I,m looking ahead but if we keep these players and a few in the summer we will do really well in the championship next season.
The Johnny Stones song fits him perfectly. Herbie, Herbie Kane, Herbie, Herbie Kane. Simple and loud, perfect for a football song, too simple for the Ponty end - they'll be trying to find a low decibel rap song for him.
No I,m just confident same vibe as when we went up last time in my opinion we are the best side in the league taken us a long time to show it though.
He's been outstanding for us for 2 seasons now and the stick he got earlier in the season was unjustified in my opinion because he was playing much deeper which didn't get the best out of him but since the team has found it's feet and pushing further forward he's been a massive part of our success.
I'd guess that Kane took Collins to one side and said why am I playing tippy tappy nonsense in front of our own defence when I'm much more effective 40 yards up the pitch. (Not a dig at Collins)
Seems more the likely case. I was one of his critics because he was playing the ultra-negative stuff. I’m not criticising him now
I'll admit the first half of the season I was on his back. I thought he was too slow to be in a midfield pairing with Russell and I think that's still true. I'm glad that since Connell is back to provide the cover he needs he's showing his class.
