Should James 'Ginge' Collins be given a contract extension to provide much needed experience and cover at the back as well as be around the club to help the likes of Burke, Oxford and Rice in the early stages of their career.

Definitely. He’s been through his rocky patch, there’s life in the Ginger Pele yet. He’s also not playing internationals. Another 12 months.

It's not sentimental, he rarely lets us down.
So many times we've gone through rocky patches and the big fella comes in and helps us ride it through. He can still do that and if he is up for coaching the club should help him get there and keep him about.

No. With Oxford back, Reid and Burke ready for the bench an aged CB at the end of the bench is a waste.

Yes definitely. He has been "too old" for a long time now and seems to only get better. He has aged like a fine wine, or ginger beer.
