It's an impeccable source.
It's an impeccable source.Ooh, in capitals and everything.
If the club don't know what to do with Collins or Simms it suggests they think both are shite, they could probably start by not playing them every game if thats the case.It's an impeccable source.

We have other strikers don't we? It's not my suggestion anyway, its the suggestion the club don't know what to do with Simms.Who is going to play in place of Simms?

Any idea why we gave Wilson a new contract?
You could play Paterson LW and play Wright up front. Not saying I would and depends on Paterson but we do have optionsWho is going to play in place of Simms?
Thought he would at this stage. Look thats on him. We discussed it to death, not doubting your sauce re BW fitness but it's just all a bit odd.
Lets just get behind everyone Saturday, inquests can wait until after the play offs hopefully!!!!
More importantly any noise re MVE, Thomas?
Let’s get him in the shop window then. Then maybe someone like Wrexham will sign himTo try and get some sort of fee in the summer
The telegraph has reported that he’s not 100%. There was a discussion on CWR where it was noted Wilson doesn’t take part in the warm ups. This suggests he’s not quite right to play…
Then you have the ITKs who say he is fit and ready to play and even that he himself expected to play.
It’s all a bit strange.

Everything being kept fully under wraps this week
Hence no training pics etc yet and they were back in Tuesday
I have no problem with the Collins v Wilson debate and believe there should be no 'arm in it.Collins v Wilson is the debate with no end.
The contract extension needs explaining. All I can think of is Wilson being sorted out with a living because of his chummy existence at the club. Any of them being no.2 next season will be shite.
Twist my arm I’d pick Wilson. But it’s like choosing between Anne Widdecombe and Susan Boyle.
Yup. Maybe he's going to really surprise everyone and play the U21's.Haha! Frank's learning from the Leeds incident
Wilson being injured so badly he hasn’t been able to play for months makes no sense when he’s been on the bench all that time. What happens if he needs to come on? We’re not talking one or two games where he might not have been 100%Thats exactly what he's doing mate
People don't want to believe it, Wilson is fit, has been for weeks
Lampard is just being stubborn
Lampard worked wonders to get us into a top 6 spot. But he's also the one costing us it

Actually being serious for a sec, it could feasibly be that we are so many players missing, FL doesn't want it leaking out how badly we have been hit.
He didn't make a mistake because he was getting peppered with shots, unless your talking about a session of Jagers the night before
Think back to the game Dovin got injured, Wilson was warming up first and vigorously
Lampard then speaks to Jones and Collins warms up and gets changed and Wilson sat back down
Lampard called it at the time, and he's stuck by it
Luton were doninant most of the game. Wilson had a very solid line in front of him and a one-man machine up top who you could pump the ball up to. It was perfect for Wilson and anyone else who may have played that season.
Brad Collins, playing like he is now, even behind that defence, doesn't win golden gloves.
He's far worse than Wilson, and that's not an endorsement of Wilson.
if we need a goal in stoppage time, do we bring Wilson on then ?
Not a very good decision in this instance then.I think people need to grasp that under this new setup a new contract isn’t a reward for good performance or an indicator of being in the managers plans, it’s a decision taken on a spreadsheet to maximise the potential value of the squad.
So is this confirming that Collins starts again saturday?Thats exactly what he's doing mate

Disagree mate. He's been second choice for most of his career, stepped up one season and won golden glove. Hasn't been bad when he has played this season. He's signed a contract for a reason, maybe to be 3rd or 2nd choice but we can also get a fee for him. Collins is an awful keeper, Wilson isn't.He really is, his career tells you the story, not one season. Also just watching him with your eyes. If he was anything other than a very poor keeper there would be a load of clubs thinking oh Coventry have a golden glove winner they are not playing who we could pick up for fuck all, but they aren't, no one is interested. On top of that he's also just signed a contract to see out his career basically as a third choice, he doesn't even back himself.
He doesn’t make howlers that turn results on their head and that’s all there is to it at this point. He also won’t look petrified before every gameDisagree mate.

I don’t think Lampard has much of a say on player contracts. I reckon Doug has someone working with him in a sort of director of football role assigning contracts based on maintaining the balance sheet and obtaining future fees.This is true - and this makes the situation all the more baffling. I still cannot fathom why we gave Wilson a new contract. Is there a potential buyer for either Collins/Wilson?!
It’s a real shame Collins made the mistake against Luton because he put in a MOTM performance up until that moment which ultimately, undone all the hard work and cost us the game.
Even if we beat Boro, there is that uncertainty over the GK position going into the playoffs which is not good! The position has also been moved from the lowest priority to one of the highest after Dovin’s injury too.

Wilson is definitely not a good keeper, I was there at Cardiff when he just dived out of the way of the ball, but Collins is completely gone mentally and when a keeper has the jitters they need taking out of the firing line.
Not true, Robins had no say over Godden did he? Seem to recall someone saying he wanted to let him go on a free. We ended up getting a small fee so it was good business.Lampard will have a say over signings and contracts.
I’m certain Robins would have let Bidwell go on a free and Lampard has chosen to keep him because he was playing well for us then.
