I think part of Collins issue is that his hands are shot to pieces due to his vigorous beating of the turf after every howler.

Career suicide accompanied by a massive sack of cash.

I can see Utd taking a punt on Gyokeres.

Forget the stats. Trust what you see on the pitch. A centre forward has two chances to add value to a team. 1) Score goals. 2) Be that outstanding in other aspects that you can get a place even if 1 isn’t happening. Unfortunately for Simms he’s not bailing himself out with either. That said...

Assuming no Thomas I’d go with. Wilson MVE Lati Kitching Dasilva Sheaf Grimes Rudoni Saka BTA Wright

The point is Wright was as poor as Simms was today. But generally he does things Simms is a million miles away from doing and is by far our best attacker. That’s not Simms fault, it’s just how it is. The gap between 3.5m Simms and 7.7m Wright is a lot more than that price difference.

We can’t not play some of the weak players we have. Our squad isn’t big enough. If you don’t play Lati, it’s Binks. If you drop Simms, it’s BTA. Playing Collins is just baffling but we’re doing the best we can with some obvious weaknesses.

It may be an unkind thing to say but the fact is he is just a really, really poor keeper. Doesn’t stop shots, come for crosses or inspire any sort of confidence. At a conservative estimate I’d confidently say he’s cost us 10 points at least, single handedly. He just can’t play again.

We absolutely need to play Wilson last two games. It’s frighteningly obvious. At least he’s got some presence. Luton will be a complete dogfight which could be anything. But I fancy us to beat Boro.

The reality is we have several players who aren’t good enough. If you have a team with Lati, Collins, Simms and then others have off days you get beaten. And we were beaten very easily today.

I’d be going with 1 for Collins. His job is to stop goals which he singularly fails to do. 4,for Simms, Lati, MVE and Bidwell and 5 for the rest.

Really poor performance from Simms. It’s the very basics that he doesn’t do well. Now the goals have dried up he adds nothing

One of those days. Our poor players got exposed. Collins cost two goals as is his want.,Lati bullied all game and Simms had all the aggression of a fluffy pillow.

Arse wipe of a first half. I simply cannot believe Collins has done it again. He cannot stop the ball when it has any semblance of power. He’s racking up the points cost and at the end it will have been enough to get a play off spot

Simms is what he is. He’s capable of getting a decent amount of goals at this level which is an obvious asset. But his all round game is severely lacking with things such as controlling the ball and passing being way off. As a professional I’d expect him to be working on that relentlessly but...

These will be two very tough games. Two teams fighting for their survival away from home. It’s the teams on the beach you want at this point.

Grimes has been an excellent signing. One signing has transformed our problem area to our strength. If Sheaf stays no need to add anything.

No, you are correct. He had a relatively poor 15 minutes. Let’s try and sell the 20 year old with international goals and appearances, championship goals and a fantastic attitude as soon as we can.

This is the championship - it’s entirely possible.

So did Simms but were led to believe he had a great game.
