Ship Collins and Wilson both out.

Dovin is going to be a while so we are going to need a decent understudy.

Collins needs no explaining, Wilson stuck to his line like glue last night and letting the ball go through him in the first leg. Don't care if he pulls faces to the camera.

Wilson is as good as you are going to get for permanent number 2

I would keep Wilson, I’d ship out Collins and at least one of the youngsters and sign someone to develop. GK is way down the priority list IMO.

Wilson has shown himself to be a class act as a teammate and squad member, and his distribution is nowhere near as bad as some people here seem to think - I’d be spending all and any money at the other end of the pitch this summer.

If Wilson's salary is commensurate to a number 3, keep him. If not, look to move him.

I don’t mind keeping him purely for squad depth, but no other team in the division would have him as a number 2.

Apart from the first goal in the last leg and was superglued to his line last night.

Even before then you could see how indecisive he was and he was causing panic in the defence. He went to run out, then he stopped, then he came again, then stopped. What should have been him getting the ball ended up in a corner for them because the defender had to then deal with it under pressure.

This season has shown that neither Wilson nor Collins are good enough to be back-up keepers.

He could easily be a number 1 for whoever comes up via the play offs

I don’t think Wilson was responsible for any of the goals we conceded across the 2 games.
Dovin is clearly our first choice but Wilson has been a huge improvement on Collins, and is generally good enough.

Collins needs to go, but how often does a back up keeper usually play? This season has been odd due to injuries and loss of form. I'd be half tempted to keep Wilson as back up. Bring in a first choice on loan and give Dovin the season to fully recover and then we can look at the situation next summer.

Suspect he will be number 3 and as we seem to have decided we need 3 keepers that works for me.

This season is unusual, how often do clubs have to use 3 keepers because of injury?

Bring in someone to challenge Dovin as we know he will be out for half of next season. Then you've got your first and second choice with Wilson to back them up and make up the numbers in training.

Yep I know what you mean. If it’s the comedy factor we are after they should put Laurel and Hardy on in the changing rooms beforehand.
Gets a free pass it seems because of his “character around the place”.
Don’t mind him sticking around as a back up but we all already know he’s not the answer but was the lesser of 2 evils over the last 2-3 weeks.

Weakest position at the club and cost us this season. We’ve signed some very good players last 5 years and turned a profit on some. Goalkeeping not one of them two below average keepers in Wilson and Collin’s. I’d be looking for a very experienced 33+ keeper until Dovin Is back

So you want to attempt to release 2 contracted players in order to sign 2 understudy goalkeepers that are good enough yet happy to be understudy to a 23 year old keeper. Another classic

I'm kind of with this really. How long is Dovin out for?

Did you see their first goal in the first leg?

Not directly responsible for the goal last night but if he moved off his line a foot he could have done more for both the cross and the corner. You can guarantee if we put a corner in like that, their keeper would have come and cleaned it out and then gone down holding his head. He did it multiple times.
