Graham Turner thrilled at James Collins's Shrews hot streak

Delighted boss Graham Turner today hailed Shrewsbury Town's man-of-the-moment James Collins after the striker continued his goal-scoring exploits.

Collins scored both goals in Saturday's routine 2-0 victory over Torquay United at the Greenhous Meadow.

That made in three in a week for the Republic of Ireland under 21 hitman who also had the honour of giving Town the lead in last Tuesday's Carling Cup clash at Arsenal.

And Turner believes that return is a just reward for Collins, who has made the most of Terry Gornell's suspension after being replaced by his fellow forward earlier in the season.

"James is desperate to play," said the Town boss.

"He got the goal at Arsenal and has now popped up with two against Torquay and they were all good finishes."
