Collins set for Brewers bow

John McGrath and Russell Penn are suspended for Burton`s trip to Stevenage but new loan signing James Collins comes into the fold. Both midfielders collected their fifth yellow cards of the season during the home defeat to Wycombe last weekend and must serve one-match bans. Their absence is likely to see Adam Bolder make his first league start since suffering a dislocated shoulder at the end of August. Striker Collins arrived from Aston Villa on an initial one-month deal on Friday morning and goes straight into contention, although he played 90 minutes for Villa`s reserves on Thursday and could still be feeling the effects. A hamstring problem forced club captain Darren Moore off after just 17 minutes against Wycombe, and the big defender could be given a complete rest in an attempt to resolve his fitness problems. "Darren has been in and out of the side with various injuries, which is far from ideal," said manager Paul Peschisolido. "He could be fit for the Stevenage game, but I might give him 10 days or so to get himself right."M
