Think the comments about Wilson’s distribution are overdone. Two-footed and a pretty clean striker of the ball for a keeper IMO. He clearly gets told to ping long balls to targets right by the touchline, and (surprise!) some of them go out. If the aim was simply to keep the ball on the pitch, he could play it to the back three or smash it long down the middle all day.

(No idea whether Collins is better with his feet tbh, the knowledge people have about other teams' players never ceases to amaze me)

Robins will play who he considers to be the better keeper, no sentiment.

Wilson was good, the defence also played a part in the clean sheets.

He can make a wonder save but sometimes his technique and positioning was off and is distribution was awful.

Not saying drop Wilson straight away but Collins is a technically better keeper with much superior distribution so I would expect Robins what that in his team.

Robins isn't afraid to upgrade even players who having let him down.

Yes, technically better keeper. So good technically, that he shipped 73 goals as Barnsley finished bottom of the Championship.

They only started using him in January that season, so hardly counts.

So half the season then but it doesn't count? Mcnally only played half our season so he wasn't count either then?

Keeper in poor team concedes more goals than a keeper in a team with a good defence shock!

I just wouldn't say he "got them to the play-offs".

I'm just a massive Ben Wilson fan, and I don't see how this is going to work. I also think some players bring more to a team than just ability, I reckon Wilson's character is good for the team. I'd rather Tyler was used as 2nd choice.

Viveash has close links to collins and he has more championship experience than wilson. I'll be amazed if he isnr first choice soon.

Got to keep moving forward mate. If Robins thinks Collins is better than Wilson then he's in that team, simple as that.

Trick is to concentrate less on who's going to be first or second choice and instead celebrate that Simon Moore isn't going to be either

100% confident that Wilson will start first game and be our number one until Collins outperforms him.

Collins has joined to be number 1. So if he's still on the bench, Wilson will be doing well which is great for us.

Hard to think of a larger decline in form/confidence than poor old Simon Moore's after his first season with us

He looked a shell of himself in that Wrexham game

Hopefully he moves on and gets back to his best - I think there's a Championship/top of L1 keeper still in there somewhere

A lot has been made of Collins ability with the ball at his feet. Wonder if this is inkeeping with the assumed change of tactics. We often played the ball long from Wilson, usually for Gyokeres to feed off scraps and create something for himself which he was superb at.
Maybe this signing offers a small clue into a more keep ball swing and playing out from the back which we have played previously under MR.

Hopefully a new back three means more mobility so we can play a bit further up the pitch. Thought there was the odd game without Fadz and without clangers from his replacements where we looked much better as a team.
