Think he is very comfortable on the ball and his diagonal long balls are quality. They only thing I was unsure about was his physicality but he showed he had this v Man Utd, and he is still very young. Think he would be a great signing but I don't think it will happen.

If we think of Tyler and Bell, surely they would be an improvement on what we have witnessed recently??

I think it will be difficult getting Collins out. Surely no club in the championship would want him and he isn't likely going to take a pay cut to join a team in L1 or 2. I think we are stuck with him. We don't want to have another season with 3 senior keepers so think Wilson would be the one...

Did anyone spot Kitching for the lap of appreciation? I didn't. Saw most the other squad, including those injured.

Not sure who would be willing to pay a fee though. Think Wilson would be more attractive to other teams as a number 2 due to his character. Don't see any of that from Collins. I have never seen a keeper play so badly, so repetitively and not be dropped.

It wasn't as if it was in the corner

Both goals would not have been if we had a championship keeper in goal. Goalkeepers should make themselves look big. Collins makes the goal look big. If you are unsighted from distance, move your fucking feet so that you are not. He is absolutely atrocious and has been in far too many games.

Always seemed extremely professional in and out of the team. His positional sense / reading of the game has always been superb and sometimes overlooked by those only interested attacking stats.

Both Wright and Simms certainly need to improve on basics. I do think Simms is. Not so sure about Wright. Moore is very good holding the ball up and keeping the ball close when doing so. Wright and Simms have pace though which is such an asset now. Goal contributions from the pair have been...

It isn't just the defence that causes the defensive issues. A Sakamoto type player either side of a number 9 would help. Good going forward but willing to help out the full-backs. I don't think having Wright on the left is going to work long term if we don't want to continue to ship goals. He...

I would keep Allen, Latibeudiere and Burroughs for squad depth due to their versatility. At least see how much Burroughs has improved since a season away. He has pace, which is an asset. I would keep Wilson as a number 2 and add Collins to the list. He has had more shocking moments than any...

Although he has had his moments, Eccles is the only midfielder who has been relatively injury free. Sheaf has been susceptible to injuries for a while. Torp is looking a bit fragile too. Can't blame training facilities now and if they are overuse injuries then team selection needs to be wiser. I...

Bidwell is head and shoulders above Dasilva (literally and metaphorically) but I wouldn't be surprised to see Bidwell leave and Dasilva stay. Not sure Robins rates Bidwell as much as most fans do.

I understand that but my point is that fresh legs compensates for tired quality.
