Deja vu!
Deja vu!The first goal was pathetic, it's actually distracted from another example of him standing rooted to the spot as a player bears down on him for the second.

No just thick judging by his recent posts
Not saying Collins is incredible, he's better than Wilson.
Same as Bidwell is better than DaSilva.
Ahh but Wilson kept a clean sheet against Stoke so he had to play, Wilson is a fucking clown and Robins should stop his daft goalkeeper experiment immediately.Seven of our nine defeats have been with Wilson in goal
tbh Wilson's as good as you'd get for a backup, so would be happy for him to hang around. Is a bit surprising he came back in, but guess after a clean sheet and doing nothing wrong really (and yes, I understand he had nothing to do to do wrong!) the temptation is to keep him there. I'd have been just about OK with that if we'd picked the right defence to match up against Preston tbh - that's the greater failing of last night.Collins undoubtedly better but neither are at the level I think we need. I’d be shipping Wilson (and Moore, obviously) out and bringing in a new 1st choice.
That ball in in first 30 secs had frost on it it was so high. Inside the 6 yard box any competent keeper punches or catches that.
Where was it when it was at head height?Wasn't in the 6 yd box. But are you referring to the ball that is being covered by Thomas ? Or the one where Riis overpowers one of our best CBs (according to fans on here) to have a free header ? Check the video again, Thomas didn't even criticise Wilson after the goal. Maybe he knew that was on him.
And something people may have ignored or overlooked. Wilson had to be wary of the overlapping Preston attacker. Thomas and Riis miss the ball and that guy has a direct shot on goal.
Afterwards, he probably felt guilty hearing all the boos from the stands.

Even the attempted save was shiteWhere was it when it was at head height?
That's still a keepers ball all day.
Post op the OG too
Watch the replay from a PN vlog. Can clearly see him come out then he back tracks 3 paces to his goal line. Sorry ball was in the air a LONG time he hesitated and that's all it takes. If he comes out and makes a challenge to the striker even though Thomas is there 99/100 he would get the foul.Wasn't in the 6 yd box.

I'm suggested he could have communicated with his defender to tell him there's no defender behind him so he didn't need to do anything.The "delay" in Wilson getting to the ball for the second goal...
Seems to be another defender in the way to protect that ball. Keeper leaves that to his defenders, 9 times out of 10.

And the own goal...

Weight on his left side to fall that way. Ball goes through his legs. @Nick, are you suggesting he could have stopped it with his legs ? Bent down to collect it ? Remember the speed at which the ball is travelling.
It isn't "covered by Thomas", goalkeepers are supposed to command the area. He should shout that he's coming to get it.Wasn't in the 6 yd box.

I honestly think some of you are going to be surprised about who we'd be able to attract. There aren't many in this league better than Collins imo, they all have weaknesses. Also this isn't really about Collins, whether you think he's mediocre or good... fine. It's about the baffling decision to put fucking Ben Wilson back in. A keeper completely out of his depth.

AmenCouldn't believe what was being said pre game yesterday about his ability to command the box , he can't.
I also don't think he's a very good shot stopper backed up by the fact he's conceded 5 of the last 8 shots on target faced .
I struggle with the fact he's back between the sticks tbh , a position we don't need to keep tinkering with .
Collins is better

I 100% agree with supporting players on the pitch but but that’s a very sympathetic photo. The reality…..
It’s about 4 yards out after a looping cross
Okay. I'll ask again then.
Why is Wilson standing there when he's come and collected crosses previously, on his own and in crowds ?
Why doesn't Thomas berate him when the ball hits the net if it was supposed to be the keeper's ball ?
Has Robins told Wilson to stay on his line and leave the crosses to the CBs ?
Did Thomas told him to stay on his line ?
Willing to be educated but I'm not blindly jumping on the boo-boy pile-on because it's cool.

I don’t think it’s a pile on, more questioning whether a goalkeeper should be commanding his six yard box. Thomas isn’t going to berate Wilson as it’s his man who scored, that doesn’t mean a keeper shouldn’t be at least punching that.
I’ve never thought Wilson commands his box or deals with crosses particularly well and said it before inc last season. I’ve also said I like Wilson and he comes across as a great lad but Collins every day of the week for me if he’s fit and available (unless going through really bad form which he wasn’t)
That's why I asked if it was Robins or Thomas telling him to stay. He has come for crosses before so why not this one ?Largely because his decision making is poor. Feel like you could tell he felt he should have come for it when he went a lot further out to punch a ball 10 mins later.
I do wonder, though, how much is down to playing instructions. It strikes me that the vast majority of keepers stay on their line now. A bit like the whole ‘bring everyone back for corners’ thing - when you see every team doing it (give or take a couple) there has to be a wider theory behind it.
That's why I asked if it was Robins or Thomas telling him to stay. He has come for crosses before so why not this one ?
A goalkeeper doesn't listen to defenders telling him to stay on his line if they'd even do that, have you ever played football?Okay. I'll ask again then.

Yes. And as a defender.A goalkeeper doesn't listen to defenders telling him to stay on his line if they'd even do that, have you ever played football?
