Did we actually pay a fee for him?
Did we actually pay a fee for him?The one player we should've got was Johansson from Rotherham whilst we had budget. That's not based on last week either I called it in the summer. Tbf 500k Collins seems a waste to benchwarm but didn't see anything preseason to suggest he should start and knew nothing of him before. He could be good of course but seemed an odd one, just another ex Adi Chelsea I think
People on here have said £600k but I’ve not seen it confirmed anywhereDid we actually pay a fee for him?
OK not 100% I can only go off here and twatter. If we haven't then I guess no problem as we all assumed Moore would move on.Did we actually pay a fee for him?
Ha ha! Problem solved! Good job I am not the manager thenCan’t see the ’namby Pamby’ players of today tolerating a 17hr night-shift
Wilson won’t be dropped for one mistake. He’s having a decent season and has even improved his kickingOh calm down. He's bought them because he believes they are championship level players at least and ready for the step up.
I wouldn't mind seeing Collins given a start
Have we seen enough of Collins to form any kind of opinion whatsoever?I don’t think Collins is any better to be honest.
It’s kind of worrying we have 3 players from a back line of a L1 team in Collins, Kitching and Thomas.

Moore's performances last season suggest Elon Musk would be a more effective stand in keeper!There is no evidence that dropping him would impact morale. If Collins is no better than it was a bizarre signing considering we already had Moore, who is now just a waste of a wage.
He always changes the defence mid game I don’t get why
Legs? Really?Legs and energy
Legs? Really?
you keep the defence on unless they’re having an absolute stinker
Lati Kitching and binks should start Saturday
To me central midfield seems to be the only area where we don't have a problem.Wilson is fine in goal. Our biggest problem, and we have a few, is central Midfield.
You’re probs right on why he does, I just question itAgreed. I tried to answer your question about why he changes the back line mid match. That’s why I think he does.
I’ve said before, robins achille heel is game management and substitutions. Always weird and rigid and now, predictable.
We have to stick with MR he’s the best by a country mile.People on the way home on the radio mentioned Nathan Jones, Dean Smith or John Eustace. I'd want none of those. In fact the only out if work manager I can think who is realistic and as good as Robins (imo) is Wilder.
That’s insane considering what he did for Luton.We have to stick with MR he’s the best by a country mile.
lf they ever recruited Nathan ( clown) Jones Id never watch City again.
His reputation has been tainted by taking the Southampton job, he’s more or less achieved what Robins hasThat’s insane considering what he did for Luton.
He was poor for Luton's first at Wembley last May, beaten at the near post.Wilson's story to get to where he is now is incredible and hats off to him. He seems to be a great character and I am sure this does help the team spirit. As for his kicking he is very able to use both feet very well which is better than many keepers. He has also shown to be very capable as a reactive shot stopper.
However, his decision making has always been questionnable and his biggest downfall for me is the lack of bravery. I would like to see a keeper demand anything delivered into the 6 yard area. Wilson doesn't. Many goals conceded and chances given away may have been avoided if he was willing / able to command this area.

Care to predict his subs for Saturday then?I’ve said before, robins achille heel is game management and substitutions. Always weird and rigid and now, predictable.

I know we’re struggling but it’s not Wilson’s fault, why would you want to drop the best keeper in the league last season, He’s made 1 mistake, give him a break
People forget this when Nathan Jones is discussed - he’s done the same as Robins with a smaller clubThat’s insane considering what he did for Luton.
Just listen to the man he’s a clownThat’s insane considering what he did for Luton.
Every single game.I say it pretty much every time we play but once a game he will make a terrible mistake that could cost a goal. He gets away with it more often than not, last night he didn't. As others have mentioned, Cardiff's third was baaad, and he should have done better with the Bristol City goal. I thought the second Rotherham one was savable too but haven't seen a convincing angle. That said, he has made more 'good' saves this season than he used to. The QPR save and one at Rotherham especially were very good saves.
The bigger issue for me isn't the bad mistakes like last night, it's the fact he never comes off his line to claim a cross and his distribution is terrible. It means the centre backs have to win may more duels than they would do with a competent keeper. We have many issues across the park and he isn't culpable for it all by any stretch, but we need better. I have no idea if Collins is that, I haven't seen him play, but it's frankly worrying if we have spent £800k on a keeper who isn't better than Wilson.
Great save to tip that round the postEvery single game.

Now made 4 in a weekI know we’re struggling but it’s not Wilson’s fault, why would you want to drop the best keeper in the league last season, He’s made 1 mistake, give him a break
Yes he did make one but three basic errors on the trot that's why he was droppedEven Moore didn't make those types of errors during his dodgy spell. They are basic. Absolute bread and butter for any professional keeper. Making one is bad enough but back to back games is very worrying. Although today's one didn't lead to a goal, it set the scene for calamitous defending.
