Kit reveal, under 21 keeper modelling the kit, not Collins or Wilson. Both potentially not in MR plans or Collins not content at the prospect of being a number 2 if we’re bringing in Dovin?

Feels v weird

Just out of curiosity, was the lady from Hertz Rent-A-Car there as well?

Maybe plans were for a Dovin reveal but just wasn't done in time? Not sure

Exactly how it is really. Risks that both could be gone soon.

The keeper kit is incredible to be fair.

I've said this before. Too many people saying it would be Wilson who leaves. But he's been a backup most of his career. He's content with that role. Collins is far more used to being the starter. So I'd think Collins is the one who would feel more aggrieved about being relegated to a backup role.

If Collins is unhappy with it he should try a bit harder and certainly be a bit braver.

Collins was on the bench at Barnsley when we signed him I believe.
Started out as first choice but lost his position later in the season. Maybe had an injury? But didn’t regain the position from memory

Interesting Collins didn’t even get into the shoot. Could be wholesale changes.

Maybe - but they've both featured (Wilson quite heavily) in other things on the social media channels so I wouldn't personally look into it too much.

Could have just been an availability thing, or maybe just the use of one of our own?

We only received one sample keeper shirt, which did not fit Collins or Wilson. Their shirts are on preorder for the 26th.

Really? Does someone do it for them? Do you think they get staff discount?

I had a staff discount via a player in the 90's, they got the same 10% as everyone else back then!

There is literally -100000% chance that both are going. You think Robins would go into the season with a brand new 22 y/o keeper as his only senior keeping option?

What stops him signing an experienced veteran as well?

I'd assume both Collins and Wilson have got their arse in their hand (probably drop it) with this new signing

It's hardly been a ringing endorsement from Robins on Wilson, gets golden glove then Robins brings a new keeper in

Hardly a ringing endorsement on Collins that he comes in for a fee last year, then Robins bins him off for another new Keeper

My view on it anyway. Robins has struggled with keepers in his whole time here bar Marosi tbh

A keeper that can catch crosses and corners would be good

I applaud mark robins tbh. He has understood we don’t have a top half keeper in this league. Wilson is most likely league 1 or 2 and Collins is a shade better. By spending a couple of mil on a goalkeeper is a brilliant sign for us. Imagine if he stuck with them for next season we would be raging.

Furthermore on your morosi point it was he who replaced Lee burge and made us a much better team in league 1 and we subsequently won the league.

Think there has been a massive change in thinking this year and we’ve realised we need to properly invest in a keeper, so I’m glad to see we are finally addressing this. Fingers crossed our big Swede is the real deal.

I suspect this is because Ben Wilson is one of those people who when he sees someone pointing a camera instinctively gurns in front of it.

Collins is the better keeper for me, but Wilson is a better No. 2. He’s done it all his career, and seems a good influence.
