Port Vale defender Lee Collins has said his side will improve after a mixed start to the season in League Two.

Collins told BBC Radio Stoke: "There's a lot more to come from us, we want the fans to stick with us because they will see us improve.

"We're on fire in training but we need to bring that into matches and show teams how we can really play."

The 19-year-old has started all three of the Valiants' league games since joining on loan from Wolves.

A centre-back by trade, Collins has been employed at left-back by manager Lee Sinnott so far this season.

Bournemouth will be a tough game but if we play as well as we can do then we should win

However a defensive reshuffle will be needed for Saturday's game against Bournemouth as Sam Stockley is serving a one-match ban following his red card in the game with Dagenham & Redbridge.

"When we play well we're a very strong back four but we're still getting used to playing with each other, in a few weeks we'll be very solid," said Collins.

"Bournemouth will be a tough game but if we play as well as we can do then we should win."
