And then he had an enormous brain fart, because even when he's not out of form, his reading of the game is poor.

Same. I'd also agree with you more generally if Collins' form wasn't quite *so* wretched, but as it is, I think you have to take him out of the firing line.

I always said that I'd judge him on next season, regardless of what happens this, that remains true. This is Robins' team, not Lampard's. At the moment, after the last few weeks, I am still unsure whether long-term he will turn out to be a success. Are you not slightly concerned about the...

To be honest, I don't care. We are nowhere close to the level required to be in the playoffs, let alone be promoted. We're only in the frame because not enough other teams are either. How many times have we looked a genuinely good side this season?

He had a run of results where we came out the right side of marginal games. Other than that, I am beginning to be unsure.

He doesn't pick himself.

Because he's fucking shit.

That has fucked me right off. This team's just so many fucking no hopers in it; people who are nowhere close to the level required. That's almost criminal to lose the game like that. That's on Lampard Collins is a calamity, but he keeps picking him. Awful management. Absolutely awful.

It's not just that. We just don't have a team of scrappers; that's not what it's been built to do. Robins' teams (and this is still a Robins team) have always been able to be bullied. Without Thomas in the backline, that's accentuated, too.

Behave.

Get in the sea.

I think every goal in a game with VAR gets checked for offside as a matter of course.

Right, this attitude can fuck off. There are no rules to which football team you support, and nobody's being a gatekeeper about who can and can't support ours. There's nothing wrong with supporting any team; what's annoying is when people who have picked a team because it wins every week then...

He seemed to stop being able to judge when to come for a ball, and kept getting caught in no-man's land.

He hasn't played a full season yet, but I imagine he'll turn out very good indeed. (Also I forgot about him when I typed that). :ROFLMAO: Moore was excellent that season, though.

Simon Moore, in that second season up, is by far the best keeper we've had since promotion.

That is true. I also think that it's true that Wilson's a better keeper than Collins. Surely the reason Collins is picked is due to him fitting with the preferred style more. That's fine, but there comes a point where you have to be pragmatic and tweak the tactics so you don't keep having to...

He won't, not on his own. If anything costs us, it will be mediocre away form all season. That's not down to one player, poor as he is.

Robins had clearly binned him off. That's my only real serious criticism of Lampard so far, that he's persisted with Collins. I get the reason, Wilson is a bit more old-school and can't play out from the back, but he's also not frightened of getting hurt, or had his confidence completely shot...

There comes a point when you have to accept that picking him based on that fact is to our detriment.
