deeane Koontz Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Definitely looks like he'll be adding a completely different dimension up front to the straight foward strikers (with all due respect) we have 🤩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakey Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I know you shouldn't trust highlights reels, but fuck me how exciting is that video of his goals and assists from last season. Scores screamers from outside the box with both feet, wins headers, scores one on ones, can dribble, cross, comes deep to link up play ... In all honesty, how many of those goals would we expect Dion to score? Here's hoping he hits the ground running and brings the best out of Dion / Vic. Looks a great signing this. * * apologies for the traditional wakey kiss of death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 1 Site Supporter Share Posted February 1 Dion has 17 from 34 games this season. The efl trophy ones (and maybe some fa cup) from sub bench. But now he's apparently a bit duff, and the new lad can do everything better! A snip at 750k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the looks of it, new guy can do things our current strikers can't. What an asset to add to the mix if true. Not a dig at anyone - hopefully (as stated) he brings the best (or even more if you prefer) out of our other forwards. Happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a dig at anyone - hopefully (as stated) he brings the best (or even more if you prefer) out of our other forwards. Happy days. You're right. Theres no goals in our front line once Charles goes off. Charles plays 2/3 of every game and until today we have absolutely nothing for the last 3rd. If Charles is out of form a bit, which he is (but will be back), the job is fucked as far as the front line is concerned. This lad will add to Dion and hopefully snap him out of his brief lull either by pressure for places or linking up with him.

DomRepWanderer Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Class from Collins to their fans, Aaron Collins' message to our fans: "Gasheads, what a two-and-a-half years it has been. From scoring that screamer against Oxford in the FA Cup, to that 4-3 win away at Rochdale, and then making history with the 7-0 win on that final day - being a part of getting this club back to League One will live with me forever and I’ll never forget the feeling of being on top of that lamppost on Gloucester Road, celebrating with all of you Gasheads. Being named as League One Player of the Season 2022/23 was a special achievement, and I'm so grateful it was part of this incredible club. I couldn't have done it without the support of the Gasheads, and the noise you make, week in and week out. I will forever cherish the memories of playing in the blue and white quarters and hope one day I can be a part of the Gas family once again. Who knows what the future holds. I'd like to thank both the players and the staff who have been a part of my journey at Rovers. I've made friends for life, and have loved my time here. UTG Goodnight Irene. For now..."

Lostock Whites Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Such an exciting signing and window in general, just need a CB in as cover now hopefully. I can't wait to see how Collins does for us. Some people pointing out despite his amazing season last year he's only scored 3 in 27, he's still the 3rd highest for assists, 11 goal contributions this season. That's nearly 40 goal contributions last season and this season. He can score goals, but looks like he's going to add a different dimension to our attack. Let's fucking win this league now!

But that could be because of either extreme. He’s a significant injury and they are focusing on a replacement so that they can communicate when they’ve landed a target. Or it’s a minor one and he’s ready Saturday or week after, but they are looking at depth in case needed. Either way I reckon they are looking at another CB and either way there’s nothing gained from communicating anything until window closes. All will be revealed tomorrow I suspect.
