It's not just that Collins' mistakes have been worse but that there have been so many of them.
I'll be honest, I've always been a critic of Wilson. Shot stopping wise I've never had a bad thing to say, but the rest of his game I've always thought was lacking.
However Collins as of recently has been utter wank. Had a really good start to the season when he came in for Wilson and looked pretty comfortable but then looked like he'd been on spice before every game.
The worst part is, Wilson came in for a game and dropped an absolute clanger so that meant Collins was straight back in.
This HAS to be the number one priority this summer. We can't keep going on with two number two keepers all season. Fuck Collins and Moore off, keep Wilson and get a proper first choice keeper in. Moore I assume is on higher wages and being that he's been 3rd choice to two melts for the season, I'd assume he's not in the plans.. hence keeping Wilson.
With a solid keeper we easily have another 9 points this season, and that's being on the conservative side.

Most players generally have strengths and weaknesses in their game, Collins has no strengths only weaknesses. His kicking is poor, catching is suspect, shot stopping is woeful, doesn't command his box, and worst of all he looks terrified of any physical contact.
Maybe the VAR official did us a favour at Wembley, Man City's Harland could possibly have scored double figures on his own against Collins. Wilson on crutches would be an upgrade on Collins. The trouble is who is mad enough to take him off us.

I’ve been saying it since last year (Dec 29 above) and have been getting the patronising laughing emojis until the past few weeks.
He got incredibly lucky with misses from his errors early in the season so it went under the radar by most fans but he’s been terrible all season. Really needs ousting.
It’s definitely been an odd position for us. Marosi was good until that awful injury v Cardiff which understandably knocked him; Moore was excellent until he lost confidence and effectively got the yips; Wilson definitely improved but had mistakes in him - he also had a massive sliding doors moment in his favour last season when he escaped being sent off in his comeback game v Preston I think after a rush of blood to the head; Collins was doing fine for me but has lost it - yesterday he was very lucky to avoid another clanger when he dived over a ball which hit the post in the second half. I do think we need to strengthen but might be tricky to get some of these off the books.
Wilson and Moore will be the ones let go; I wouldn’t be surprised to see Collins start the season as #1 either.
Get him to go for a drink with Ian Wright
We conceded 59 goals , way to much , Collins isn't good enough and if Robins keeps him as his no 1 keeper ,I can't see a happy ending for the both of them.
He cost us goals at important times in games in the last 10 games which ultimately cost us the play offs.
He looks scared to go for the ball or challenge and all season he has spilled the shots he does save, that may be his style on the parried shots but it doesn’t instill confidence. I also don’t the defence has helped him at times for some goals but he has gifted pure goals in games and the Hull game finished my view on him, the first is seen in Sunday league games

The mistakes he's made it genuinely looks like we've had to call a fan up to go in goal.
Not moving his feet
Aimlessly punching at the ball in his radius when he can simply catch it.
He's also a chicken as well. The last month MR but be wondering who the hell he's signed

Rotherham GK can go for 900k. Was awful against us but miles ahead of what we’ve got. Surely…
The old “good shot stopper” line is always reeled out as an excuse for a keeper who is garbage. Burge “good shot stopper”-RCC “good shot stopper”-Wilson “good shot stopper” etc etc.
It seems nearly every time a shot comes in recently then it is a goal.
People have now even stopped using that old chestnut (good shot stopper) regarding Collins which tells you all you need to know.

Wtf ever said RCC was a good shot stopper? Stevie Wonder would've been better.
I’ve said before that I’d like us to actually invest in a long term keeper. I’d keep Collins as a number 2…in both times here Robins doesn’t seem to prioritise spending on a GK. I’d look to get all 3 out, personally.
Still largely true except I would now look for a new keeper. Still conceded less than half the teams in the playoffs...
If we’re going to have a dodgy keeper, can we at least get some mental South American who also takes free kicks or something.
Right? Would genuinely be less disappointed letting in a failed scorpion kick than watching butterfingers fumble it in again. Maybe Collins needs to lean into his mentalness. Go full old school crazy GK, dribble it out, do weird warm up routines when the ball is down the other end.
Bring back doing what we all must have done on FIFA and just dribble the ball with the keeper as far as possible. If he scores it counts double
Yeah it's an odd one. You'd think with how poor we've been in terms of conceding soft goals against the run of play with both Collins and Wilson in net, Moore would at least get a chance in a cup game just to assess where he's at.
Interestingly Wikipedia has him joining Grimsby at the end of his contract.
Wilsons been told he can go
We will be looking for a new No1

Nobody wants to talk about Moore. It’s one of the most bizarre things. With what the other two clowns got away with, he was worth another chance. But no, completely frozen out, pooh-poohed on here as well.
Yeah agreed, especially as I imagine he was on a fair bit.
Throw in a few Grobbelaar runs out of goal for good measure as well!
