Irvine: Collins was coming anyway

16 September 2009 11:11
Collins joined on loan from Wolves on transfer deadline day while St Ledger moved to Middlesbrough just hours before the 3-1 defeat at Scunthorpe on Tuesday. Irvine said: "Neill wasn't brought as cover for Sean. He was brought in because I felt I wanted an experienced centre-back and I think people will probably put two and two together and come up with the wrong answer. Neil was brought in as an addition to Sean. "As I am happy as I was with our centre-backs? The answer to that is clearly no. But we've got good experienced, proven, Championship centre-backs."
