Can someone remind me who it is we're meant to hate if he does drop Collins?

Wilson routinely punts the ball into the stands like a human t-shirt cannon. I can’t see how you could start him in a team that plays like we do without making massive tactical compromises. Which is ultimately why he probably won’t.

He just needs to pass to Grimes. Ultimately all the good distribution in the world does not compensate for making game changing blunders every week.

Exactly he makes saves and stops goals, just the opposite to Collins. You know Wilson would never rush out to the edge of the area and clatter Kitching

If you're being generous, you could say he created that winning goal against Portsmouth. So he's cost us 9 points.

Every player makes mistakes, that's why they're playing for us and not Liverpool.

But as a goalkeeper, I'd take a weakness of punting it into touch semi regularly over throwing one in your own net semi regularly.

Nobody says Wilson is what we need in goal, he isn’t, Dovin is far better. But when the alternative is statistically the worst in the league and is making howlers every week, needs must

Wilson isn’t criticised for ‘kicking it long’.

Fuck knows. His career to date tells you everything about his ability though. He should never have played for us again after Cardiff away last season.

Imagine this if you will

0-0 in the 94th minute city get a corner Brad Collins goes up and rises like a salmon at the back post and powers in a header. Fans and management go wild he’s totally redeemed



Then gets flagged offside

I agree on both points, and if Campbell hadn’t left one in on Dovin this whole debate isn’t happening. But it is, and Collins has jeopardised the top 6 almost on his own. He has to go.

Previously, Collins would never have done that.
Damn and blast the confidence that grew within him at Luton!

Starting to get the feeling that rather than excited anticipation for the game, most fans have nervous anticipation for what crazy thing Collins is going to do.

Thing is we now have Grimes dropping so deep Wilson could just roll the ball to him so it's way less of an issue in the current setup

You may joke....
Other teams and fans are well aware of him.
Ironically, this was posted by a Boro fan at 0-0 on Saturday....

Then linesman remembers that you can't be offside from a corner.

Fans and management go wild again.

Alarm clock goes off.

It’s a weird argument that would should play a keeper who is so statistically bad at stopping goals he doesn’t fit on the scale because the other option might punt it into the stand every now and then

Agree. Dovin aside it's wierd how poor our recruitment has been with goalkeepers for the last 5 or 6 years!
