Wilson starting on the opening day (3 Viewers)

[Skybluedownunder]

I’m just pointing out that we’ve done ok with Wilson in net, and that you can’t fluke your way to 22 clean sheets in a season. I’d prefer a better keeper but if Wilson is in net I don’t think it’s the disaster some are saying.

The stats show he’s a ok keeper for the level but has v poor distribution, hence why Robins and Lampard have favoured other keepers.

If you look at a lot of those games he didn’t have a lot to do, so many of them we weren’t even challenged, we were tight at the back.

Not gunna lie though, without Wilson’s goal against Blackburn we wouldn’t have made playoffs in my opinion. That was the catalyst moment. Same this seasons with Paterson

Yes can i change my vote

We could play them both and still not keep a clean sheet.

Ben looking sharp going into the season, only a madman would want a new keeper. Why put the club in financial danger when we have such a safe pair of hands?

 

[Hobo]

I expect a queue of fans at the gates at Ryton tomorrow looking for a trial. The ones that come on here with their “I could have saved that” attitude.

Be careful irony is lost on here

The bar is now so low for Wilson we've arrived at "he's probably better than the people on this forum."

Also the bar is so high for people on this forum they can't grasp the difference in levels between Coventry and Monaco

You really think this is about Monaco
The bloke is out of his depth.

Not sure the shocker was opposition dependant

There is always something. Wilson blindness is pretty nasty tbf, no known cure.

I'm open to new signings. But I have no influence on who we buy, so won't beat myself up on who we haven't signed. Also when we signed Collins, I knew nothing about him and approached with an open mind. Some were saying he was a definite upgrade. I never saw any evidence of that personally.

At the moment like it or not Wilson is the best keeper we have.

To be fair there's two strains.
The one that thinks he's an adequate keeper, and the one that thinks he's not a massive upgrade on Collins.

 

[rob9872]

So we're not reading anything into ore season, just get the mistakes out, build fitness get sharp for real games ... except when it suits the narrative for a bit of whataboutery

Having Wilson starting in goal over Collins and being told we should be happy with it is like waking up to someone laying out a solid turd on your chest and when you question it you get told to just be happy it wasn't a diarrhea.

I'd have either deposit in goal over Collins!

Might empty my bowels on Austins desk and ask if he wants to sign it up for the season.

ThIs will be on ICCoventry by 11am tomorrow

Collins not playing at all may indicate that he’s off and a proper keeper will be brought in with Wilson reverting to 3rd choice.

Need to find that proper keeper , have to say I've been underwhelmed with some of the names banded about

Hopefully, we really must do better than Wilson.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

I said way back at the start of the summer that we should have pursued Freddie Woodman , for me he would've been ideal

 

[fernandopartridge]

That oft sighted golden glove season is a huge outlier in his career

He's also recovering from an ACL at present, did it the same day as Dovin.

Ah didn't know that

See he's joined Liverpool as their 3rd choice , good move for him

 

[Hincha]

Yeah I think Collins not getting any minutes does point to us getting a GK in. If he was definitely 2nd choice going into the season he'd have got a half in the 2 games

 

[SBT]

I think it was crystal clear once Collins was dropped for the Middlesbrough game that he had no future here, as a backup or otherwise.

Bringing in a #1-calibre keeper is the only sensible move here and it shouldn’t be too difficult or cost us much.

 

[Sick Boy]

After yesterday there’s next to no chance he’ll be starting in goal on the opening day.

A worthy exercise after all then.

I now think there are 2 new strains...he's not very good and he is absolute shite whereas Collins has 1 strain he is absolute shite

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

A recipe for disaster… I’m not convinced on any of our keepers.. Dovin is the best of the 3 by far though but even he dropped a clanger or 2

For me is the the most important position on the pitch..

Dovin was a top 5 keeper in the league last season. In the Jan-Feb winning streak Dovin was MOTM or thereabouts in most of the games.

Even v Leeds where he made a basic error, he was out MOTM because his saves prevented the scoreline being 3 or 4 to nil. Keepers will make mistakes.

However, we need to sign a credible GK. Collins or Wilson in goal for a prolonged period this season could be costly.
