    Is it a loan with a view to be permanent? I'm sure he will be desperate for that.

    Collins will be gone soon we needed a extra forward hopefully a new coach can make the players play as a team

    Good player for Fleetwood in their playoff season, but I stand by what I said on deadline day, even Sharp wouldn't make much of a difference.

    With Mickey Mouse Collins and the rest still about I'm afraid he'll have little impact, unless he's a miracle worker.

    We have to hope that, until there are significant changes at the club, the addition of the likes of Ball, plus a bit of luck and, hopefully, if Collins improves a bit (and Edin interferes less) that, maybe just maybe, we can pick up enough points to stay clear of trouble.

    A big ask, I know but, as things stand, its about as much as we could hope for.

    He’s signed.

    But I thought nobody would sign for us because of how we treat players? Oooops.

    Good signing but until Collins has gone and a more experienced coach/manager takes over (if at all, as nobody decent wants the job) then can’t see him making a difference. Let’s wait and see.

    I dunno, but if we did get points for signings, we would be top of league now!

    If he can replicate his Fleetwood form and Rotherham form of last season, a good signing. Just need a replacement manager to get the best out of him now

    Isn't a loan exactly what it says on the tin?

    Wonder if we can get one in on loan until the window opens?

    I really hope this signing DOESN'T save Collins Job. I want that shithead out of my club now.

    No need for personal abuse USG. If the real problem could be sorted, he would be replaced quickly.

    Don't know what's gone on but it's a surprise and welcome addition. DB's a good age, experienced and capable of scoring goals at this level. Surely he can provide something to help out Doyle and improve our cause? At this point and before he ends up being dragged into all the dross l'm treating this as positive!

    True, and I (partially) apologise. But I can honestly say I’ve never taken against a manager of ours so quickly.

    Apart from being a useless coach, totally out of his depth, I find him incredibly arrogant (you don’t demand respect in life you earn it by your actions) and (again I apologise in advance) in my book arrogant people are in my experience almost always shitheads as well.
