If it’s working on Doug’s narcissism then the Sports Psychologist will be working 7 days a week on that.

We seriously need to review defensive coaching and goalkeeping coaching set up. Players are going backwards in those departments and in the Goalkeeping department YOY. What was achieved before was with a leader like McFadzean at the heart of it, he’s not here to coach players through the game anymore. I’m sure Lampard will be already reviewing the coaching set up.

We can’t go to games every week needing to score 3+ goals to get anything.

The amount of attackers we bought in i wonder if just outscore the opposition was the plan. The only way that's remotely likely is with a fully fit Wright and an Injured Collins

He’s obviously very poor and not fit for this division (or one below) but maybe Dovin isn’t showing anything better either. He showed zero confidence and commandment of the area or defence before aswell.
Defence been pulled so deep to protect the goalkeeper (both of them) they have been unable to defend properly all season.

Genuinely, Dovin was dropped for the crime of being too quiet. What has this clown got to do to lose his spot?

It sounds from Lampards comments in the week that Wilson will be number 1. I wouldn't mind that tbh

Dovin hasn't been great by any stretch, but Collins is at fault for at least a goal a game, and has been since he came into the side. Absolutely bizarre that he keeps getting picked.

I think the plan was to have him kitching and thomas as a back 3 as they were doing well at Barnsley. Then it all went to shit

I remember the stick I got for saying he was a liability when he first came in. I actually can’t believe how long it took so many to realise and how our own staff still don’t. It’s the biggest red flag of Lampard’s early reign, that he is starting Collins.

Collins wasn't their first choice.

He's had one season in his career where he was undisputed first choice, and that ended in relegation.

The signings of Collins, Kitching, JDS, Binks and probably Dovin were all really poor.
We needed an experienced aggressive centre back (in the mould of Fadz) and a proven Championship keeper who could command.his box.
Needs some serious work to sort that defensive mess out.

I thought that about Collins last season. Game after game he made mistakes and his confidence looked shot, yet still we persisted with him. Not saying Wilson was error free at the start of that season but he got dropped for a hell of a lot less.

He was injured for most of the season they got to the play off final.

Let's face it all 3 of our keepers lack confidence, have trouble catching the ball and are poor at commanding their areas. Dovin is probably the best.
But we should have recruited a far better keeper given our defence is a disorganised mess and weak as piss.

You could see player’s heads dropped from the first clanger. Collins has gone the way Moore has, devoid of confidence and looks like he’s finished.

Every keeper we have had has been destroyed in recent years, Marosi, Moore, Wilson and now Collins.

Aled Williams needs to be guillotined along with Dean Austin ASAP.

FTR, I am not laughing at you because you are in any way wrong, but the guillotining comment was genuinely funny!

I think Aled Williams must be the weak link - he manages to turn "promising" new signings into no-hopers inside half a season. They can't do the basics right, so the coaching must be at fault. Probably spending too much time in training getting him to pass out from the back. Shame they are either hospital balls to our defence or straight to the opposition!

He was dreadful today, but if anyone thinks changing keepers alone is going to fix our defensive issues then I don’t know what to tell you. Worst back four I’ve seen for us in years.

I think Wilson would at least organise and try and lead by example. If you're a defender with no faith in your keeper then you're fked as a unit

Dovin will be back in for Plymouth , too early for Wilson to come back straight in..Personally I don't rate Wilson that much.

Teams will be targeting him on corners too, never looks confident and never makes the 6 yard box ‘his’

I genuinely thought he parried that shot over to begin with because I quickly looked away. When it left Lang’s grateful foot we left the ground. That team does not deserve the support.

Wilson does not stand a chance with that defence. Nor does Dovin.

We have signed almost as many keepers as we have centre-halves on permanent deals since we got promoted, it’s ridiculous.

No but it's a good start in this case surely? I find it ridiculous that when you have height advantage because, you know allowed to use arms/hands, specialised gloves to adhere to the ball, and protection from the ref if being impeded, to then choose to constantly punch, irratically changing the point of danger and pivoting your whole defence in a second with oncoming attackers having the advantage to come on to the punched ball trajectory is just so incompetent and must be unnerving for defenders to react to. He rarely seems capable of taking the heat out of attacking moves.

We have 2 average goalkeepers and 1 impostor. How Collins gets a game I will never know. Time for Dovin to start and stake his claim. I think once we get an experienced CB, Dovin will get better at commanding his box
