the thing that Bradley Johnson has to realise is that McSheffrey's the first choice now, and we'd love to see White more, so if he doesnt play up then he'll be shipped off!! Lowry and McSheffrey are eligible for the carlisle JPT game, so the wembley dream is back!

Skysports.com understands Neill Collins is set to join Leeds United on-loan from Preston until the end of the season. A centre half.

To counter that, from three years ago.Neill Collins, Wolverhampton WanderersSteve Claridge We all like to reminisce sometimes and watching Neill Collins took me back to the time when centre-halves were strong and robust. He reminded me of Tony Adams when he first started out in the game, suggesting the good old-fashioned stopper was back.The 23-year-old is playing a key part in Wolves' surge up the Championship. I liked him immensely, an opinion clearly shared by Mick McCarthy because, at this stage, Collins is currently keeping the club captain, Jody Craddock, out of the side. Tall and lean, the Scot began at Queen's Park before progressing at Dumbarton, prompting McCarthy's Sunderland to take a punt on the Scotland Under-21 international for a relatively meagre £25,000.Never a regular on Wearside, he was loaned out to Sheffield United (who hasn't been?) and Hartlepool and it was at the Victoria Ground in a five-month spell last season that he started to make his name in partnership with Michael Nelson. Indeed, in his absence at the end of that campaign, Pools collapsed and slipped out of League One.He uses his height and strength well and on Sunday was clever in using his frame to stand over West Bromwich Albion's Kevin Phillips, not allowing the forward to utilise his fantastic spring. Collins simply put his arms over the top of Phillips' shoulders, pinning him down. Although the defender didn't jump, he didn't allow his opponent the freedom to either, meaning that he effectively won the header simply because he is six inches taller.I liked the way he got tight to players and he was particularly effective when the delivery was too straight and he could nick in front of his forward. He went through the back of his opponent a couple of times to let him know he was there and his single-mindedness to spot the danger from the person he was marking was clear for all to see.He did get lucky once when he was caught ball-watching but, apart from that, his positioning was good, as was his talking and organisation when Albion counter-attacked. In truth it had to be, because I have never seen a side attack on the break with so many players.I also liked the way Collins looked after his team-mates, particularly after one had been on the end of a nasty challenge. He was quick to remonstrate with the offending player on that occasion - managers like it when players look after each other on the pitch. That togetherness cultivates good team spirit and Collins has bought into that collective philosophy.He attacked everything with relish, enjoying the physical challenge, but also revealed a mental capacity that meant he was anything but limited in his play. He is still learning but there is enough promise to suggest Wolves pulled off a coup to get him for only £150,000 in January. Many people argue about whether this player could play in that era, or whether that player could cut it in modern football. But I have been in the game for 25 years and I saw a player in Collins who could play any time, any place and anywhere.How he ratesAge 23Born TroonPosition DefenderHeight 6ft 3inWeight 12st 7lbFrom SunderlandAwareness 7/10Heading 8/10Tackling 8/10Passing 7/10Team responsibility 9/10Valuation £750,000 to £1m
