Walesonline state he scored 13 goals this term but 3 of those were in the first round of the League Cup against a Norwich side missing 15 first team players:

Since last summer City have signed 2 of 9 over age of 25 but Mick reportedly wants to bring in experience so that ratio is going to increase. I'm not concerned with singing some players over age of 25 but we've got two young strikers in Watters and Harris waiting for a chance and now being pushed down the pecking order - it feels as if Mick's ready to discard them as not fitting the system he wants to play which is more of a concern.
Regarding Collins: he most naturally fits role of Moore's backup, has scored 10+ goals in this league over last two seasons as well as goals at international level at home to Bulgaria and away to Serbia, and has been coached by Graeme Jones and Nathan Jones so probably is tactically smart - plenty to like about him on paper.
We're unlikely to play much more attractive football next year and unlikely to challenge for promotion until 2022-20223. Collins on a 2 year deal looks like a smart move but Collins on a 4 year suggests we're going in the wrong direction.
