I think the lack of red in the box, is an issue. In both seasons. He was scoring fantastic long pots when confident but that wasn't sustainable. Particularly when we switched to a position base side rather than counter attack. |

Or has AC just been hiding on one side of the pitch? |

We got £750k for Ellis Harrison from Ipswich ffs. Collins should surely be worth more than that, given ability + market inflation. Ellis was massively overpriced at 750k in my opinion. I was amazed we got that sort of money for him. |

I’ve got a couple of mates who are QPR fans and they’ve just sent me a screenshot from something called ‘Transfers 24/7 which says that Rovers have rejected a bid of around £840,000 for AC from QPR. Almost certainly not true, but if it does come to pass, you heard it here first 😉

I was amazed we got that sort of money for him. At the same time, Summer 2018, Ipswich paid £1 - 1.25m for Kayden Jackson from Accrington whose track record wasn’t as good as Ellis’s imo. At the time I thought we were short changed. Ellis hasn’t done much since admittedly but neither has Jackson - 24 league goals since 2018. |

Particularly when we switched to a position base side rather than counter attack. Yet Aaron Collins has still had more shots at goal and more shots on target than the Divisions top scorer. Devante Cole has scored 16 Aaron Collins has scored 3. Aaron Collins has had 61 shots so far this season, with 29 on target, only scoring with 3 of them. A conversion rate of just 6.25%. Last season he had 75 shots in the whole campaign, 46 were on target, scoring with 16 of them. A conversion rate of 21.33%. He's just missed a lot more chances this year, that's the reason he's only got 3 goals this season. It's as simple as that. |

Better in a more direct approach |

I think he's shooting from positions goals are unlikely. Last year I felt he outscored from the positions he got in. |

All this, is he good enough or is he not good enough, lets just sell him and take the money offered.
He is not as good as he thinks he is and not championship standard by any means.

I’ll tell you - loads! In fact I can’t remember him scoring one? Just purely a confidence thing for me, but good luck to him if he does go. |

Friend was already in the building I think you mean the treatment room. Apparently it was first place he visited when he came to the Mem , he had to check the room had all the neccessary equipment and to a good standard before signing . |

Untill last January when Barton had one of his funny turns, Aaron was doing fine, he was then shoved out on the wing and seemed to lose confidence and the goals dried up. From having the ball played to his feet to having to pick up the ball, wing it, cut inside create the chance and score with is a big difference and a big ask.
I think if he goes to a team like Bolton, gets managed properly then we shall soon see the goals flying in .

Better in a more direct approach When he was in his best form which was pretty much the whole of 2022, he was scoring a lot more frequently because he was shooting from all over the place because he was full of confidence. He was shooting from lower XG positions then, rather than now. This calender year, it's not just this season, the 2nd half of last season his and Coburns goals dried up as well. He's missed the easier chances which he should score by snatching at chances or overthinking but he's also not attempting as many instinctive shots from more difficult positions or from long range which is what happens when you're out of form and confidence goes. |

Collins worth at least a million if not more.
