He’s a keeper? You pick your number one and stick with him for longer than 6 games ffs. Confidence is more important for them than any other player on the pitch.

You think the team have been applying themselves 100% recently, so not sure your advice is best listened to.

None of us have seen enough to demonstrate that he's better either.

It comes down to preference and transfer fee. If Dovin had been outstanding then I would get the outrage, but he hasn't. Wilson is hardly Neuer, but he isn't Sky Blue Sam either.

It isn't a massive controversy (if he throws the ball in the net tonight then I'll retract this probably).

To be fair Dovin hasn't had the chance to be outstanding, he hasn't had much to do apart from the Bristol game when a lot of people had him as man of the match.

It’s not a huge controversy but it’s questionable to drop this season’s number 1 after 6 games when he hasn’t made a glaring error.

People are talking like Dovin has been 'bombed out' and his CCFC career is over.

Can always rely on SBT to be overly dramatic!

I think after Robins comments on mental strength, maybe certain players like Wilson are in for their resilience and ability to pick the team up

How many keepers get dropped and return to being a solid #1?

Dovin is also young. Hrs training, he'll still learn. Sometimes taking jim out of the firing line and bringing him back I guess is ok. Especially if they told him that as paet of his development when he signed, so kess likely to lose confidence. Chopping and changing Wilson after a game wouldn't send Dovin much of a better message tbh if he thought one game and out.

I get that, but he's shown nothing to suggest he's worth his transfer fee at this point. People don't want to hear it but its true. He might be young, but for that money surely you are expecting some sort of instant positive impact, which we haven't had.

Whether it's too early to drop him is a fair point, but like I said, not as big of an outrage as some are making out.

I could just be misremembering, but I don't remember Dovin doing much wrong?
I remember one clanger alright but not much more than that. Most goals he didn't seem to have a chance with as they were either a complete bollock from a defender or a goal mouth scramble from a set piece.

No one is - what’s bizarre is he has been left out for a guy with no pedigree and the manager has three times signed other keepers to replace him.

It’s a joke Wilson is still here

It isn't about 'doing nothing wrong'.

We paid millions for a goalkeeper and he hasn't kept a clean sheet all season. Surely for that money you are expecting something a level up. We haven't seen that.

Love him or hate him, Wilson got the golden glove. It isn't a massive controversy that Robins is picking him.

I think that’s how most other people feel. He hasn’t done much wrong and his distribution is pretty good.

It will be interesting to see what attendance is claimed, concourses seem relatively quiet.

Blackburn have 4 new signings in their line up, surely they’ll be rubbish as they won’t have had time to ‘gel’?

Dovin has shown nothing outstanding so far at all. People are just upset because he cost a lot or they hate Wilson. Dovin hasn't demonstrated that he's a cut above, and if rumours are true that he's too quiet I'm not sure why we're surprised Wilson is in.

I don’t want Wilson to be starting but I think quietness might be the reason. Need some big personalities to pick the team up. That said, I would have Bassette on the pitch for the similar reasons.

I’m running late because I heavily procrastinated coming tonight - cold, wet and we’re playing shite.

Feels like I’m getting up for work not going to watch the City!

Quite liked it being quieter, the benefits of the new improved concourse beer selection with the queues of the old days ie none. Was an unexpected treat to squeeze a pint in.

Super fans only from now on.

There will come a day that’ll happen when attendances are sold out week in, week out in the Prem.

A few clubs have 3 strike rules. I know Man U have a policy where you have to buy all home cup matches (including Europe) and if you don’t scan the ticket nor sell the ticket back to the club for resale, there’s a ‘3 strikes and you’re out’ policy.
