JJ was certainly "protecting his body" after coming on. Ought to have been given a few fouls by the ref. Work rate not at the levels PW would demand.

But then if the lad scores a dozen goals or assists, why would we worry about his work rate? I get it that in this league there is little finesse, but sometimes the epithet "hard working2 is over used, especially if it refers to a player who runs around a lot with no end product.
Perhaps Collins is now getting the service he requires from the players Warne brought in? Maybe Warne's coaching has made him a better finisher?
I'll be more specific. Posh player gets the ball with JJ 2 yards away. The lad with the ball moves faster than JJ in his "tracking". This happened a few times. Not what PW wants from a player. For me, if a forward has 10 yards to make up, don't go for it, 3 yards or less and they should be proving the old adage of players moving faster without the ball than with it... Not a headless chicken approach but one of choosing your battles. IMO, JJ should have had more battles than he did against Posh.
