Collins was in goal during our great run last season, he's not as good as Dovin but we if he get his confidence back he is ok.

This is the thing with Collins, when he's good he's perfectly ok in this division, but once he's poor it just death-spirals from there it seems. I just hope he can keep his form and his head for the remainder of the season if he's now first choice.

6-9 months could mean back at the end of September. He's a keeper, not a player like O'Hare or Jones, so I'd assume after strengthening he could hopefully come back at the shorter end of that scale. If that's the case I think I'd hang on and the others are adequate in the meantime or why have them?

If someone experienced possibly, but let's not waste budget on a young loanee for a short term. In fact Bell and Rachel highly thought of, so why not give one of our own kids a chance to shine?

It's not just the medical recovery, it's the mental one too. Physically he could be ready to go in 6 months, but if he's not mentally recovered and has absolute confidence in the strength of the knee then he could be hesitant under pressure.

Better to provide cover for the whole season and build him back up properly.

I prefer Collins to Wilson, i think at his best he's a better keeper. My worry is that when either fuck up, make no mistake they both would/will, that fans would back Wilson as he seems to be some sort of odd cult figure whereas they'd turn on Collins and potentially make things even worse.

Yeah if Collins drops a clanger in a tight game vs West Brom I suspect the crowd urns and it goes wrong fast from there. Hopefully he comes in and stays in good form, can't afford the alternative and I think he's the kind of player that needs the fans onside

Home crowds haven’t turned on him in the past unless I’m mistaken, even when he chucked it in against QPR.

Been the inevitable sighs/groans when he's made a mistake, so he'd know the crowd didn't have faith in him. That might affect his confidence but at this level you'd have to expect a player to not be overly affected by that.

But don't think there's been the crowd 'turn' on him in the real sense. Maybe the odd one or two shouting abuse but there's plenty of players that get that whether they're playing well or not.

Free hit against Burnley with Collins in goal, but Lampard is focusing on games where he thinks we can pick points up. (Plus, I couldn't figure out how to fit Burnley over Portsmouth )

We also don’t know anything about Dovin’s injury. It could be something mild for all we know and initial prognosis off the mark.

Just read on BBCs football website that Haaland is out injured for 7 weeks following an ankle injury sustained in Sundays FA Cup tie on Sunday.

So why is it that any injured players we have there's a shroud of secrecy that descends on Ryton and the CBS and let's all pretend it's not happened?

The most recent cases in question are Eccles and Dovin.

Can anyone explain that without coming up with GDPR bullshit as a reason.

i can only imagine that secrecy is a tactic, so that other teams in the run-up wont have a clue about who might be back etc etc?
whereas premier league (esp top 6 teams) would fine it very difficult to keep a secret

Bullshit.

I had an infection last October of one of my prosthetic knees and my knee and calf was swollen grotesquely.

After 17 hours waiting in Leicester A&E I was rapidly sent for scans and X-rays so I don't buy into waiting for swelling to subside.

But then I'm not some finely tuned athlete I'm just an old, know fuck all nothing pleb.

I mean on one hand in regards to Haaland, Man City are a global team. There will be alot of sources trying to get the information.

But more importantly why do we need specifics atm. We’ve had it confirmed both are injured. I know we all care about the club and its players but maybe he needs some room atm to process it all.

Hes a young lad who’s had a major injury which he probably has had nothing like before. Let’s just give him and the club space to support him. Sure Lampard will say more on Friday

But suggesting someone is worse than a leper is funny? I personally don't think it is but I wouldn't consider it horrible or be offended by proxy, but... maybe this is an off topic chat and there's plenty of those around considering the merits of offensive jokes.

If Simms, Wright or Bassette had done what Campbell did on an opposition goalkeeper who was trying to be clever, we'd all be saying they had every right to try and go for it. Let's not say otherwise, and the striker has every right to try and challenge a GK on the ball who's under pressure.

It's not like he two footed him, he brushed him and unfortunately the knee has buckled. 99 times out of 100 Dovin gets up there a bit sheepish and we get on with it.

FFS he was not "trying to be clever" you fucking dinosaur, its modern keeping. It was a shit challenge and an unfortunate injury result, stop trying to dish out blame its gross

I literally just said 99 times out of 100 he gets up and on with it where everyone else on here wants him done for assault.
