Can't recall when we last scored 7 goals at home in consecutive games. Bloody brilliant and the partnership up front is working wonders. At last we are now playing with 2 out and out strikers. The way we took our 4th showed a lot of calm on the shoulders of young Collins and this from a player who has had a lot of clubs to date. Maybe he's found his home at last and all credit to JB in taking a gamble with him.

The beauty of it with Collins is (as I'm interpreting it) because Wolves cancelled his contract rather than sending him to us on loan, and we gave him a contract, if he was to move again at the end of the season, we'd get a fee for him. BUT I'm hoping he sees a future with us, for the time being at least.

Great to see Flemming on the pitch again too!

This was a great couple of performances against teams who have promotion ambitions.

The more goals Richie Bennett scores for us the harder he will be to sign this summer.

Collins could be a different kettle of fish though, looking at his career, he might just want to settle down at this stage and have a run of first team football.

You may well be right. But hopefully, Bennett will be thinking the same and sign up with us. Jim has a knack of turning careers around, so a full season with us may be in his best interests... **hopefully!**

The quality of the goals we are scoring is something we are not used to. Benno's goals, one towering back post header from a top class Oates cross and a left foot rocket from a turn were pure quality. They were proper goals, brilliant to see. When was the last time you saw us score a one on one like Collin's goal last night? A through ball, a timed run and the composure to round the keeper. Never thought he wouldn't score!

Absolutely BW.
Bennett and Collins, have provided the catalyst for the whole team, performing and showing their true ability.

The turn around in results is in my opinion down to the fact that the entire team have confidence in the new partnership up front who they know will score goals. With Oliver up top no such belief existed.

Wasn't a goal, but the last player that reminds me of Collins was Barkhuizen, specifically this run that led to a penalty and red card. It would be fantastic if Collins could keep this form up, and hopefully we can keep him for the next few years.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, if he, or any other player for that matter, show outstanding form someone will offer a shit load of money for them and we are in no position to turn it down or offer a contract to keep them. We are for the foreseeable future a selling club. However the likes of Richie B and Arron Collins must see this as a huge plus of signing for our club where they can shine and we won't put too many obstacles in the way of their future progress.

Inoticed on Aaron's twitter page that he is signed up with a management company. No doubt they will try and get the best deal out there whether it be us or somewhere with bigger riches.

Elite Management I think. They tweet about Aaron every-time he scores or is in the team of the week. As long as we offer him an improved contract then nobody can poach him for free unless it's a Scottish club like when we lost McGowan.
