Ireland head to Paris on Thursday before hosting the Netherlands on Sunday.
First up is France at the Parc des Princes on Thursday – arguably the toughest assignment in international football – followed by the home clash with the Netherlands on Sunday.
“It’s hard to say”, replied Collins when asked what would constitute a good window. “A good window would be six points, wouldn’t it? We would take that 100%. We just [have to] go and try to cause problems. There are a lot of chances there. Especially at home, with the crowd behind us, we can do anything.“I think we can go and get a win, easily. Away from home I think we can cause so many problems and I think we can nick something, honest to God.
Ireland arrive into this game as a curious mix. Collins is one of several players who are playing regularly and off the back of a recent transfer: he swapped Wolves for Brentford to stay in the Premier League, while Dara O’Shea , Andrew Omobamidele , and Chiedozie Ogbene all earned moves to England’s top tier.
“It’s rare that you get more than three chances in a game as a striker, especially in the Premier League. So to take his three chances, he has done unbelievably well there. It’s one of the hardest things to do in football, easily, 100 percent, especially in the Premier League, one of the best leagues in the world. All credit to him, he deserves it.
