I actually feel bad for him.
You look at a performance like that, and you can't single one player out, as they were all dreadful. Everyone else, you expect better from. Collins, though, is a rabbit in headlights; terrified, frozen, waiting for his doom.
We are way past this.I am so desperate for him to redeem himself but he's finished with us. He should not have played another game for us after Portsmouth and it's remarkable that he's still being given a chance.
Go back and watch the final few games of last season. It's genuinely disgraceful. The Hull game was utterly embarrassing.
Nope, he has holes where his hands should be. Rumour has it, in the dressing room his nickname is Swiss Cheese.Collins has hands??
He sounded really pissed off, wouldn't want to sit near him on the way home
It speaks volumes that Frank won't talk about individual performances. He's fuming and should be after that.
Unless he tries to make a save with them.He's really good with his feet though.........
Robins had clearly binned him off.BUT, his last chance should have been Portsmouth (and possibly even Hull last year!)
It’s a gamble, but might as well play him against Luton. He can’t be any worse.I’ve seen enough. In an ideal world he never plays for us again. Lampard has dropped him once and is presumably prepared to do so again. The only question is if Lampard has any confidence in Wilson. Assuming he has any at all, it should be him who starts. But there is no guarantee that the GK situation improves.

I back Wilson to do a slightly better job stopping shots, but I can’t tell if the small pitch will be a blessing or a curse for his distributionWell this is it. I don't think it's much of a gamble because if Wilson only throws one in his own net v Luton then he's doing better than Collins.
When a keeper’s head goes he may as well go out there with his hands covered in slimeI've said it for ages, Collins is shot mentally. It's clear as day for all to see. He's constantly on edge, he cant catch, can't save, can't command his box, is mute all game
It's actually really poor from the club to keep playing a bloke who thousands can see is mentally broken
The bloke needs some Sertraline not being wheeled out in front of thousands of people who think hes one of the worst keepers they've ever seen
He's trying to catch a cross.The contstant banging the floor when he concedes is a worrying sign
Great. Another Brad Collins thread.
He won’t be our GK next season as we’ll almost definitely sign another in the summer.
He should not be out keep now!Great. Another Brad Collins thread.

If he wasn't so shit we wouldn't keep getting frustrated with him.Great. Another Brad Collins thread.

Well it is EasterHe's trying to catch a cross.
He's a league 2 keeper mate, unfortunately Dovin got injured. Wilson in the long term isn't good enough stylistically, so they are carrying on with Collins.It’s like having a piece of wet lettuce in goal.
Not watched the goals back but felt like he could have done more for all 3 today, 2nd was most egregious though.
Cannot believe we’ve ended up in this situation.
He’s reverted to the role he’s had for most of his career - I doubt he’s that bothered.Feel sorry for him but what must Wilson be feeling, if he doesn't get a start after Collins recent form he's got to be questioning his role
Ah thats ok then, we should just let him carry on costing us points while he's mentally shot
At this point I can only presume that we offered Wilson a contract with a view for to be third choice/emergency ‘keeper with no real intention to play him.It’s just the same things being rehashed on new threads. Dovin is injured and Wilson is either not fit enough or good enough to be behind Collins in the pecking order.
There’s nothing we can do about the situation until we can sign a keeper in the summer.
I’m more interested in how tactically we’ve not dealt with the bottom teams in this league rather than scapegoating particular players.
Haven't we got 3 academy prospects to fill that role?At this point I can only presume that we offered Wilson a contract with a view for to be third choice/emergency ‘keeper with no real intention to play him.
It makes no sense whatsoever; both him and Collins need moving on this summer.Haven't we got 3 academy prospects to fill that role?
Simms did make our goal today.He's a league 2 keeper mate, unfortunately Dovin got injured. Wilson in the long term isn't good enough stylistically, so they are carrying on with Collins.
Simms is another one, he's not at this level, I don't care what anyone says, he is 6ft3 can't hold a ball up, can't header, has no first touch, doesn't do fuck all and generally a huge waste of money.
We need Binks gone, Lamps doesn't rate him, along with Simms, Collins, Joel and maybe 1 of the younger lads.
Bassette, Wilson, Bidwell, Dasilva, Eccles and Torp are all good subs, but Centre back, Left Back, a keeper on loan and a Winger is vital.
Look at Burnleys, Shef U's and Leeds squads, that's the measuring stick and that is the level required.
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 through.
Or he met things in his contract to be offeredAt this point I can only presume that we offered Wilson a contract with a view for to be third choice/emergency ‘keeper with no real intention to play him.
