Nonsence.This is what makes the selection for FL trickier than it would be for a fan.
I have got to agree with you , i have never seen so many Sky Blues fans so down since the Man Utd game, it is going to be difficult to raise the fans on Saturday , everybody body is feeling the why us? at the moment .Nonsence.
There's zero fucking point in pulling of world class saves when you pull a school boy fuck up in the last minutes.
Or continuously get beaten at your near post. (Twice in 3 minutes against Plymouth ffs)
Or go walk about in no man's land like he did vs Burnley. Etc etc
Next Saturdays game should be a dead rubber and a chance for Frank to rest a few players, instead it's a must win knife edge of a game, thanks to one clown.
Yea, as I said it should be a dead rubber, but if Collins plays, there's going to be massive anxiety everytime the ball goes near our box,I have got to agree with you , i have never seen so many Sky Blues fans so down since the Man Utd game, it is going to be difficult to raise the fans on Saturday , everybody body is feeling the why us? at the moment .
I was there too and a couple of other easy catches he punched. He is a liability. Eccles gave him an earful before the goal for not claiming one.i was there - he played well (but made one vital cock up)
Rupert Grint is a better fit for Brad.Now you've got me thinking. Stallone to play Brad? Tom Cruise to play Frank Lampard?
People are starting to lose their minds.If he Starts final game for get the play off
People are starting to lose their minds.
It's the assumption that if Collins starts we've no chance that I have difficulty with.Not sure why thinking a keeper who costs us goals on an almost weekly basis might cost us a game means someone is 'losing their mind'.
Not disputing this. I'd rather Wilson starts too. Let's not lose the game before kick-off though.Well how many times as he cost us points bring Wilson in
It's the assumption that if Collins starts we've no chance that I have difficulty with.
I think it's reasonable to suggest that if Collins starts, we have less chance than if Wilson starts.It's the assumption that if Collins starts we've no chance that I have difficulty with.
No problem. We just have to restrict them from having any shots on target or indeed having the ball within a few light years of goal.If he plays like he has been it certainly reduces our chances.
Obviously Wilson is highly thought of by Frank Lampard and the club - he is a better keeper than Collins will ever be.There’s zero evidence that he’s picking him because of a Chelsea connection.
If Wilson was as good as you claim he’d have played more than one season of first team football - he’s 33 ffs….there’s a reason he’s had a career and not actually played much.
So anybody got any ideas about who should start up front
Wouldn't disagree with any of this, which is why I said I'd rather Wilson starts.I think it's reasonable to suggest that if Collins starts, we have less chance than if Wilson starts.
Based on Collins's form of late, and that is also accepting that Wilson hasn't started a competitive match for some time due to injury.
It would be incredibly brave, or stupid of Lampard to stick with Collins, knowing that an error in such a pivotal game would leave him wide open to the harshest criticism.
Agreed.If he plays like he has been it certainly reduces our chances.
So if that’s the case he needs to knock on Lampards door and say-Definitely an anxiety issue.Hes got into his own head,doubting himself even though he’s played pretty well and made decent saves.So he’s made a rash decision and cost us the game.Ben has to play against Boro as it’s a high stakes game and you can guarantee that Brad will get into his own head and start doubting himself at some point.
Has a player ever done that?So if that’s the case he needs to knock on Lampards door and say-
“Boss, I’m sorry-it’s best for all parties that I sit this one out”.
More likely recently in football....but that could and traditionally would be perceived as a sign of weakness - not sure how "there" we might be as a club in terms of that type of things.Has a player ever done that?
I think the Burnley player Foster took an extended time out of the side last season for MH reasons.More likely recently in football....but that could and traditionally would be perceived as a sign of weakness - not sure how "there" we might be as a club in terms of that type of things.
I'm sure it's happened before, probably more times than we'd imagine, but it would have to stay confidential. MH issues can obviously affect anyone, so pro footballers arn't immune, especially in high pressure situations.Has a player ever done that?
Yeah he’s so highly rated that he’s never played for us under Lampard and has had one season of first team football at the age of 33.Obviously Wilson is highly thought of by Frank Lampard and the club - he is a better keeper than Collins will ever be.
33 is nothing for a goalkeeper - he is so good that the club got him signed to a new contract only last month that will take him up to 2027 - so yes he is as good as I claim and should start in place of calamity Collins on Saturday!
Any one else think that all this negative press of Collins, as much as it's deserved, is distracting from the fact that Simms has been absolutely useless for most (if not all) of the season?
I started watching city in 1966 and seen numerous keepers from Bill Glazier through to now.
I remember Raddy A being dropped for the season by Bobby Gould for dropping a few clangers, but Collins has made far more mistakes and yet retained his place.
IMO Collins is by far the worst keeper in my lifetime of supporting city.
Absolutely crazy that it's possible to say that, after having to watch Burge in goal for us. Yet I think you're right.
I don't know what will be more insane on Saturday; Collins starting, or Collins being dropped in the last game of the season, after managing to go all this time without being dropped.
I started following the Sky Blues in 1967 ,my first game being that game against Wolves. In my opinion Collins is the worst keeper I've seen play for us. Yet FL keeps picking him despite the endless mistakes. Collins was useless last season ,how he let that cross go through him for Manures first goal in the semi final against us,I'll never know. Hope he's not with us next season.Absolutely crazy that it's possible to say that, after having to watch Burge in goal for us. Yet I think you're right.
