Apparently coming in on loan to replace Aljofree.

Where you hear that then gazza and also why the hell are you up as early as me?  :D

fuck the both of you, i was up at 5.30!!!!!   :cry:

Bacon and waffles for me this morning  :mrgreen:

Morning all! No exclusive scoop I'm afraid it is in the adver this morning, he only played 8 games last season though and is recovering from a knee injury. Sturrock certainly likes to bring in his players that need to regain match fitness!

breakfast of champions that.

the sam collins story is in the western daily press today, 4 other clubs are in for him too. he played with billy paynter at port vale so maybe that'll swing things in our favour.

I posted that on Thursday evening on another thread.  See how long it takes for the papers to catch the TEF up!!!  ( I heard it on Radio Swindon, no mention in "our official comunication partner" - the pathetic Brunel Radio!!!)

What about Olivier Bernard...reckon he would drop 2 divs to get playing again???

I dont think we need Collins as Blackburn will step up to the mark and excel in defence.

No I dont think he would.

No point in signing more bastard defenders we've got 50,000 and don't need any more - has Sturrock not noticed that it is the other end of the pitch where we need players as we have an ineptitude at scoring goals?

whilst we're on about centre backs? has there been an update about Adie Williams injury/fitness?

Plus, you are all (rightfully) forgetting that Portugese centre back we signed the other week!

Almeida?

Thought he looked handy against Brentford.

just my thoughts although Collins may be better than the replacements we have.

INJURED.

Surprised nobody has mentioned we have signed Sam Collins on loan (subject to paperwork).

He hasn't played for about a year due to injury so will take time to settle in.

I try to limit my use of thisis to the headline stories each morning.

Now look what you've made me do  :)

Ohhhh man, you have to embrace thisis. Fight against it and it'll wind you up more and more until you snap.

PS. I heard it on BBC RS at 6:30.

He's signed on loan for a month - confirmed on the official site.

he looks a bit rough in the pictures on the OS

Those of you who went to the game. What are your views on Collins' performance?

can't remember. :D

A good day then axs :D

start drinking 9am + stop drinking 2am = very tired today. very good day out though.

collins was a big lad and quite vocal from what i remember, he and ifil seemed to understand each other already which was good to see. i'm not the best at remembering things at matches though so i'm sure someone else will give you a more technical viewpoint.

He sounded like he played well on the radio but it's not the same as seeing it with your own eyes. I hate missing games.

I don't really remember. Kept getting him and Paynter mixed up, sodding beer googles :o

Was anyone who went actually sober?? :shock:

no...its much easier to get the train into london therefore the 900 town fans where all hammered  :twisted:

yes i was, and we played well and I would have been quite disappointed with a point.

What you fancied them both?

They're not my type to be honest, never liked the whole cock and balls thing on a potential shag.  :D

Although in your defence it may not be a mis-spelling and may just mean you had a complete inability to search for them properly on google.

Good news.

According to Willy Donachie, the reason we won was that we had more 'big strong men' than they did. Which I suppose is just what you need at this level.

I seem to recall Collins being proper solid. Both in terms of performance and hard-man stature.

He won every ball in the air, but I think it was collins that made the error that led to their goal, although overall he was excellent

I really dont want to listen to my Radio Swindon interview tomorrow

 :oops:

has it got a background noise of us (well the chelsea lot) fighting over a chair? I'll be disappointed otherwise.

Certainly has mate !!!!!!

That chair was fucked !!

What an ace day...................just what the doctor ordered

too true mate, i had a great time.

I feel 10 times better today...................even mum and dad said I looked better

haha good old pie & andy...fucking nutters!!

Damn I missed the interview.... :evil:

Heard that Big Sam was more dominant in the air than Blackburn the week earlier .. once hes got a few games under his belt he is gonna be more than a useful addition ..  :beers:

I still don't quite understand how one day the squad is apparently a bit too big, and then next we go out and get a loan signing at centre half where we've got 6 or 7 first team squad players capable of playing there.

OK could say take Ady off that list as a long term injury, and Hasney as he's crocked as well, but that still leaves:

Blackburn
Almeida
Nicholas
Vincent

All of which play or have played at C/H.

It raises some questions about the Almeida signing, and about whether Luggy's already made his judgement of Blackburns potential.

Nicho is injured which leaves vincent as our only left back.Almedia is injured and blackburn is not good enough
