JCollins out for season

Hull City manager Phil Parkinson will not be rushing in to the transfer market to sign a new defender despite being told that Sam Collins will not play again this season.
The 29-year-old former Port Vale player has been sidelined for the last six weeks after suffering a knee injury, and will now have an operation to clear up the problem.

Collins is not expected to return to action for eight months but Parkinson is remaining calm.

"We've got a while to assess where we stand, but with the return of Danny Coles recently, that's given us a quality player back in the squad," the former Colchester United manager told the Hull Daily Mail.

"The news over Sam has obviously left us short on defensive numbers again, but we'll not be rushing out to strengthen because we've still got cover.

"Whenever he's played this year he's done very well for us, so to lose a player like Sam for the year is a blow.

"But he's been struggling with his knee for a while now. It was frustrating for us, and Sam, not knowing the exact nature of the injury, so at least now it's been cleared up."

That's from 14 months ago.

Well done. He missed all of 2006/2007 season, and yet to start in a league game this season. Just what we need.

Stop moaning.

Anyone remember Mick Smith or Gordon Watson........

An experienced Centre Back that has partnered Micky Nelson before?
Be had a bad injury, just look at Laursen for Aston Villa. Played 24 games in 2/3 years but has been amazing this season.
