James Collins certainly warrants a recall for Crawley and this presents a real dilemma for GT with Morgan and Gornell currently being preferred. Danger is if Collins does not get a fair crack at STFC it is likely he will be wanting away and i’m sure lots of clubs will be fighting for his signature. We don’t want another James Constable scenario do we!
