Neither him or Wilson have that save it at all costs mentality that the best have.
Despite the clean sheet thing, I would still get shot of Wilson and keep Collins as number two as he has shown some qualities and is a good stopper. Then again, what do I know? I wanted us to get rid of Burge and keep Charles-Cook (still think I was right on that one).
What benefits would they be that outweigh the number of goals conceded due to a lack of goal keeping core skills? ProbaBly approaching 10 this season, perhaps more.
It makes me think about the number of times we have been denied by what we have thought was an outstanding performance by an opposition keeper. Perhaps we were wrong, perhaps those are the levels to be expected and we just have set the bar very low based on our keeper’s abilities.
A keeper might make 3 or 4 saves in an average game. But they’ll play ten or twenty or more passes. And it’s not a terrible tactic. Wanting to smash it up the pitch and lose the ball every time is a terrible tactic.
He’ll also have to claim quite a number of crosses into his box which Collins is very mixed at.
Genuinely more bothered by Collins attitude and poor distribution than the fact he’s not prime Peter Shilton.
This is the mentality that currently sees us with as many backup keepers as backup centre halves. At some point we need to break the addiction and put our faith in someone.
You think 20% of our goals are keeper errors? lol
The benefit is essentially having an extra player in possession when compared to a keeper who can’t use his feet. I hope I don’t have to explain why that’s a good thing.
They are both under contract so will probably both be here. Neither are likely to be in demand.
Last few games, 2 v Hull, 1 v Man Utd, at least 1 v Birmingham, 1 v Southampton. That’s 5 without thinking too hard about it or reviewing the whole season. What you have done by putting a percentage in it is to show just how bad it has been.
Every keeper that's been dropped has been the right decision. There's probably an argument that Robins persevered for too long with Moore.
Collins is making horrendous errors, I'm not sure persevering is the right way to go.
I think it is for next season and if by the end of it there’s no improvement then we look elsewhere.
Many on here said he should have done better with the low cross for the first, but even if not the Huddersfield one has been added, Mr Collins. You must be deluded to defend him to such an extent.
I’m not sure you can coach aggression or the absolute will to keep a striker out even if it hurts you.
I think we’ve seen enough of Collins and we’ve had enough fannying around. We need a much better and assertive keeper to help settle the whole defence down.

Both are correct. The ball in shouldn’t have happened. But t-Rex arms Collins should have done better.
Not quite upper Championship level, but I always liked Marosi. Thought he looked pretty decent pre-season against us as well
