Yeah. But even then I’d suggest Gurney would have some kind of inkling

If Wilson isn't fit he shouldn't be on the bench. Would be mental to have your only option be someone who can't come on in the event your keeper gets injured early on.

I never ever thought i'd be wanting Wilson back in the team but Collins simply can't be in for his own good. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Wilson completely shit the bed too but he always seems less bothered by doing so.
Anyway as i said, i thought season was done with Dovin so i'm delighted we're still well in it. Maybe a chance to get in play offs and even if we don't win perhaps someone could snap Tyrese Campbell in half for a laugh.

Only on SBT could the phrase - appearing like the shopkeeper out of Mr. Benn be used so well. I for one encourage much more use of popular childrens TV shows from the 70's and 80's. to criticise players and other fans.

Collins was definitely doing a Bagpuss for at least one of those goals against Plymouth.

There is a difference between being not fully fit and having a rookie keeper take over. It's called playing the percentages.

I think the fact Wilson is a happy chappy could be a good thing for us. Less likely to let nerves get to him unlike Collins.

At least if he concedes it's cos he's shit not cos he shit himself because he's shit!

Yeah, I feel sorry for the guy. Not a good show-reel.

I prefer Wilson. Wilson ain’t Donnuramma but he at least has a bit of something about him.

(including a golden glove in our last play off season)

Couple unfair inclusions but it's not good is it.

Feel sorry for him. Should never have played again after Pompey.

Thing is looking at that, when did Collins ever make any of them saves Wilson has above?

It's a no brainer to have Wilson in there

Comparing a best highlight reel and a worst of reel isn't really the one.

I personally think Wilson (if fit) should be in but let's face it, he's fucked up and Collins has also made some decent saves too.

If it was up to me, Wilson would never have played for the club again after Cardiff away last season.

It was beyond pathetic.

There’s a reason several managers have dropped him and he’s had one season of first team football in his whole career.

Hes better than Collins without doubt

However I'd agree, he's not very good himself

In an ideal world they both fuckoff in the summer

Hopefully simply by being vocal and organising the defence in front of him, less saves etc required. That's the one huge attribute he has to compensate for lack of distribution where Collins us better.

It’s marginal. Neither of them should be here next season, they’re a waste of a wage at this point.

If Wilson was as good as is being made out, he’d never have been dropped by Robins and lost his place to Collins. In fact, Collins wouldn’t even be here.

Luckily it’s not up to you, Wilson is better than Collins ( not a very high bar ) it should have been dovin and Wilson as back up,we didn’t even need to sign Collins, we only did because somebody thought signing half the Barnsley defence would be a good idea, he’s costing us a play off spot and you seem ok with it ? He needs dropping

That's so much like me, playing with my grandson!!!!!! but I'm 71 and have 2 replacement hips but reckon I could still catch some of those.
Too many bog-standard saves Collins fucked up in there, so poor.

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.

Wasn’t comparing, read what I’ve put, everything that’s at him that you‘d Expect him to save Wilson does,they’re not even great saves,basic goalkeeping, half of those Wilson saves go straight through poppadom hands

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 pick a player so out of form that he's become a liability.
