Well done James Collins

[CallumLaidlaw]

Another game where he works his arse off, and glad to see him get another couple of goals. Just shows, when he's in the box getting service, he'll score goals. 3 in 4 games for him.

Thought he was our MOTM today even before his second goal

If only everyone else worked as hard as him. The passage of play in the first half when he chased defender, goalie, defender, goalie and not ONE hibs player was anywhere near was disgraceful.

Well played James.

[Inch Hibs]

He's been good all season in his work rate and peformances outside the box.

[Gustavo Fring]

i think he will come good

just lacks a bit of composure at times but he's still young and seems to be making progress under butcher and mo

[PeterboroHibee]

You cant fault the effort and work rate he puts in for the team, and I dont think the way we play does him any favours, so fair play to him for getting 2 goals today. The one thing that has concerned me is the fact he has missed quite a lot of good chances so far in his time at Hibs, but I think thats his 3rd goal in 4 games so hopefully he is becoming more confident in front of goal.

[Hedlund12]

I like JC and his work ethic. ..one thing I don't like is seeing him on the deck.... I've nick named him SPLAT with my son 😊. Totally agree too that when he starts getting a better service he'll bag more.

[B.H.F.C]

All his goals have been from close range. I think he needs to be a bit more selfish and play between the posts. With the exception of his goal up at St Jonstone I think all his goals have come from set pieces so he can obviously sniff out a chance. It's just in open play I don't really feel like he's going to do much. I don't really blame him for that though, I just think we need someone to compliment him as his running would maybe create space.

The criticism he receives is surreal. Bangs in 2 goals today and worked his socks off again. Yet he still receives grieve, utterly breathtaking.

[Danderhall Hibs]

He was our best player again today.

I agree that with good service he should knock away a few goals but in open play his first touch is atrocious. Surely a professional footballer should be able to control a ball 9 times out of 10 without it bouncing 10 yards back off him. Having said that, he was also being blatantly pushed by defenders all afternoon which TBF, will not have helped.

I like him but sometimes drifts to far out of the box. His work rate is excellent

[Ricky Bobby]

There were a couple of trumpets next to me today that called him useless all through the game. His work rate is fantastic and it is hardly his fault that we are making very little real chances for the strikers. The centre of midfield let us down today in both quality and determination.

[Elephant Stone]

Delighted he's starting to get the goals he deserves. Man of the match today again.

I still like him. Lots.

Chases absolutely everything, comes back to help defend corners, does more work than several other player put together. And managed to get two goals today as well. Nice job.

Incidentally, I think those goals today are exactly the kind of goals that Collins scores. I don't know if people are expecting him to be Griffiths, hammering them in from outside the box, left and right footed. But I think he's more of an instinctive, latch-on-and-score kind of striker who likes playing in and around the six yard box and will be able to grab those more scrappy goals. We just need balls into that kind of area more often and he will score, I'm sure of it.

3 in 4 games now, keep it up!

I still don't rate him, but he took both goals well today. Interested that you think he likes playing in and around the box, when its a part of the pitch he rarely ventures into.

Would agree.

Scored 2, tried his best to hold the ball up and worked his socks off.

[DAVE1875]

Just wish he wouldn't go to ground so easy.

I think ideally he would like to. But if he stood around the box all game then nothing would ever happen. He has to drop deep to get involved.

Fair enough, I think he drops far too deep, but I will never fault the guy for work rate.

[Heisenberg]

His first touch is guff. Can't argue with two goals and his work rate though.

Guy beside me in the ff lower shouts useless at Collins at every opportunity. Hopefully this brace added to the derby goal will get the boo boys of his back and he will kick on from here .

Maybe JC needs to misplace a shot right into the guys big gob. That might shut him up??? Then again maybe not!

In comparison with most our players his first touch is pretty good. Robertsons second touch is always a tackle.

Aye Robertson is quite bad for it too. Craig also dosent take a first touch and just boots it forward as soon as he can.

I agree about Craig, very disappointed in him today. A real lack of quality in the middle of the park.

I hope your right about his goals shutting up the boo boys, but i think that until we start creating genuine opportunities the strikers are going to struggle to look good.
I can't remember the young lad Cummings getting a decent chance today, basically working off scraps. We are taking the easy option too many times and firing the ball into the box from 30 yards instead of getting to the bye line.

Suppose he did. Maybe drop him a wee note where they guy is sitting. He would probably miss. :-)

Actually, I thought Cummings had 2 completely free headers in the first half that he should've hit the target with. I like him tho, and has been more energetic than Heffernan

[Jonnyboy]

A guy behind me in Section 42 kept shouting that Hibs players should shoot when the chance arose. Moments later JC did just that but his shot was high and wide. "Eff off Collins" came the cry "what the eff are you shooting from there for?"

JC was one of very few bright lights today
