Sam Collins on the OS - and he's not talking about 3 seasons ago!

On the bench at least against Stamford?

No sign of Jones or Bates though - surely if either of them was anywhere near fit they'd have got some game time?

I'd start Brad, if he doesn't shine against Stamford let them take him home with them. He could have been the best midfielder since Joel Porter.

We seem to get a lot of players who get little niggles but they carry on forever. Every week the papers say they will be back but then match day comes around and still no sign of them. Happening with Bates and Jones and happened with Woods too, was only a little knock and they kept saying he would be back but was ages before he appeared on bench again.

Suppose with us having 10 Centre backs and 10 centre midfielders that theres no panic like.

...said no one, ever.

Seriously though, I like the lad. Not seen him for a long time and can't believe how backwards he's gone but plenty of time to get it back....if it's get backable..

Bates has had a dead leg for about 3 months now.

He might have set on it when he was watching tele, used to hate it when your legs went dead after that.

Then you get pins n needles and its an absolute nightmare.

I got a dead leg on Tuesday playing football but played again last night. I'm fine, I should be picked ahead of Bates.

Worst dead legs are those one you don't realise you have until you try and walk on them. And then you buckle.

If Bates has one of them then I'm not going on Sunday unless there's a minutes silence.

Bates has a 'bruised bone' not a dead leg don't he?

He must have special bones which have the ability to bruise mind.

I saw him standing outside a newsagents in Billingham, I said to the chap behind the counter, " Is that Brad Walker outside your shop"?, he said "he is absolutely out standing in front of my shop".

Its a ploy by Pools so Wolves can get him on the cheap with the potential to be the hot prospect of a while back.
Or he leaves in the summer on a free and signs for Billy Town and the idea to give him a new contract for this season backfires big style.

Apparently they played a Swansea U18s side.

Would Billingham be daft enough to hand him a contract? They'd be better playing the lawn mower they got off us.

Played with and against Brad many of times, he is undoubtedly talented, and one of the best I have played against, however missing training/match days on numerous occasions to gobon piss the night before does not do you any favours

I'm all for the phrase 'don't knock until you've tried it' but spitting greenies in urinals is certainly a strange hobby.

What an absolute pervert.

Down with this sort of behaviour

More importantly I didnt even know sam collins was still at the club.

Wonder if his Mrs knows where he is.
