Archie Collins

[Albumen]

I said he was a decent league 2 player at the moment, emphasis on moment in case you miss it again.

‘A decent league two player at the moment, and nothing more.’

Reckon it’s the ‘and nothing more’ bit that claimed the emphasis.

You may well be right about him, but let’s hope not, hey.

Collins has and will make it as a good L1/L2 player but he doesn't have that extra finesse/magic etc for the Championship and I can't see that changing.

Hope he sticks with us for a good while yet and not be used too much as a DM.

An absolute pleasure to watch . A true sportsman. A really well-rounded young man. In essence , a credit to himself, his parents and the Academy. An absolute natural for club captain. Long may he represent ECFC.

Yes strange that some people don't rate him.

A fantastic prospect at only 20.

Why is it strange, I haven't said he is a very poor player, I just don't think he is as good as others seem to.

Hardly strange that people have differing opinions.

 

[Grecian Max]

He's nowhere near what Grimes was, who still plys his trade in the Championship.

If he ever tires of life at SJP I could envisage Archie's career following a similar trajectory as Sercs.

Or J M T's.

Touch wood, but he seems somewhat more sturdy than JMT.

The Sercombe comparison is an interesting one. He was playing regularly in League 1 at 19 but never kicked on to play at a higher level. Hopefully the same thing won't happen to Archie.
