John Collins still
recovering

Influential midfielder John Collins will definitely miss Saturday's match against
Norwich, and could be out for a further fortnight after that.
Collins has been missing with a hamstring injury and it hasn't responded to
treatment in the way everyone had hoped.
He said: "I can't see myself playing for another two or three weeks. ''It's
a long haul and very frustrating for me. "The game against Norwich is important
because we have lost two on the trot now and it's vital we bounce back. "There
were a lot of positive things to come out of the Manchester United game, the
way we had them on the rack, but, after losing to Stockport in the league as
well, we can't afford to make it three in a row.
"The key thing in football is how you react to defeat and we must react in the
right way. ''I wish I could be on the field with them, but the hamstring tear
was in an awkward place and has taken longer than usual to heal. ''All I can
do is work away with the physio and get back as quickly as I can."
