As an experienced player with a number of clubs, Collins knows that the reports of disharmony would soon die down. He went on: "I have been in football 19 years so I'm well experienced as a player. It's a weekly occurrence, it has been our football club this week, it will be someone else's next week. Every week is a test, every week you are learning and developing, different challenges come your way. That's what life is all about. Life wouldn't be much fun if everything was smooth and rosy every week. This is what develops managers and players." Collins had spent part of this week in France checking out players and returned to the media scramble surrounding discontent within his squad. He insists the off-filed activity will have no bearing on his selection for Sunday. But when asked if some players had disappointed him by overstepping the mark in their criticism, he said: "Maybe, but it's something I don't want to touch on. I'm watching training, watching players in five-a-sides and I pick my team on their performance in the first team and in training. This week will be no different. We don't make changes lightly, anything we do is well thought out, talked through and worked on, so it's just a normal week." | |||
