"the last in a 5-3 Championship defeat at Derby last month."
Great! Just what we need with Holt, Martin and Hoolahan battering us at the weekend! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Boocock Sent: 25 March 2010 09:17 To: LEEDS LIST Subject: [LU] YP Leeds sign defender Collins to replace injured Kisnorbo http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/Leeds-sign-defender-Collins-to.6175399. jp Leeds sign defender Collins to replace injured Kisnorbo Published Date: 24 March 2010 By Richard Sutcliffe LEEDS United last night moved to plug the gap left by the injury which has scuppered Patrick Kisnorbo's World Cup dream. Scottish central defender Neil Collins signed on loan from Preston North End until the end of the season after the Australian's season was ended by a nasty Achilles injury in Monday's 2-0 home defeat to Millwall. It was a defeat which left Leeds manager Simon Grayson warning that his players had better start rolling up their sleeves or risk being shown the door. On Kisnorbo's loss, Grayson added: "Paddy has been outstanding and I am absolutely gutted as it seems his dream of playing in the World Cup is over." The manager's mood will have been lifted by the capture of Collins, 26, who only signed a three-and-a-half-year deal for Preston after a £600,000 move from Wolves in January and who is set to go straight into the side to face League One leaders Norwich City at Carrow Road on Saturday. The Troon-born centre-back has also played for Sunderland he had a two-game loan spell with Sheffield United four years ago and has made 23 appearances for Preston this season, the last in a 5-3 Championship defeat at Derby last month. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
