WHAT TAYLOR SAID
Despite his best efforts, Taylor could not avoid the questions on Wrexham's interest. In response to queries on Collins' absence, he told BBC Radio Bristol: "That’s not my decision, it’s Aaron’s decision. We understand that there’s a lot going on behind the scenes in terms of what might happen over the next few days in the transfer window.
“We had that discussion with him yesterday and he didn’t feel as though he was quite in the position to be available for today."
