I really don't mind that. It keeps the competition between them both and pushes them both to be better. The same thing happened with Wilson and Moore.
I don't think Robins wants to or needs to criticise Collins, he might of switched them up because he thinks Collins may have been playing within himself. Wilson is still a good keeper and Collins needs to be at his best to keep him out.

His poor kick led to the first goal at Plymouth. There was still plenty of time between the kick and the goal to prevent it, so it's not directly his fault by any means, but it was a really daft kick.
Shame Moore's confidence was shot after a few poor games. When he started with us, his form was excellent and for me showed he is a better all round keeper than both Wilson and Collins. Both the latter two do not look confident coming for crosses. I feel a little more confident with Collins than Wilson in that regard but Collins' handling has been consistently dodgy.

Agree, indulgent or irrational but definitely not right.

Hope you are right although before Moore had his meltdown I thought he was a proper keeper.

Genuinely zoomed in on my mobile to read the names and was like “they’ve forgotten Collins”… scroll right shmmeee. Wilson just shockingly bad.

Stats wise putting Wilson in for Collins costs us a goal every other game. Hope Collins is in for the foreseeable.

Every time you see any kind of graph or comparison chart it just makes what Robins did seem like he was having a stroke or something. It was completely pointless and it cost us in my opinion.
Wilson is absolute fucking toilet but aside from that, Collins deserves some respect to his name. Constantly underrated by parts of the fanbase including on here.

I don’t like parts of his game. But you can’t argue with his shot stopping ability or when it’s working for him his passing.

I’m pretty sure Robins said he’d been out the side due to illness.

Yes I think Collins has got away with a few things. I don't think he commands the six yard box anymore than Wilson?
I am reserving judgement until I see Collins make a clanger and see how he responds?
At the moment I agree with the stance Wilson and Collins have some obvious flaws and some strengths. But I don't think there is much between the two of them.

Collins is quite unconventional which worries some people. As you say, he’s underrated and I can only think of 1-2 examples where he’s been at fault for a goal this season.
No need for Wilson to start the last few imo.

The least annoying explanation but I'm not sure.

He will be, unless he gets that same thing again, that of being ill, getting a high fever, suffering from acute delirium which then causes him to have a blazing row with the manager (backed by Kitching ) as to why he's been dropped, even though he's bed bound in intensive care and close to death's door.
I bet he even kept his gloves on for his bed baths.
Not sure initially.

On this? No not really, even the best managers do weird shit sometimes. Forums like this exist for us to moan about it.

It’s how it starts tho. And before you know it it’s Jacketts and Taxis and Robins hates everyone and is about to leave but first fucking the team up.
If a player is dropped it’s probably illness or form related. Every time we say a player should come in when they eventually do they prove Robins right pretty much. I think he’s earned the benefit of the doubt. And he’s honest enough to admit when he gets it wrong.
And it would be unatural after a five niller at home. War!!!!

I agree Collins hasn't really been responsible for any of the goals he has conceded so far. But at the same time I see certain fans find Wilson culpable in some shape or form for every goal he concedes.
There were a couple of punches and a missed punch last night, that Collins got lucky with. Plus a parry down to his feet that he caught once it bounced back up, a Rotherham striker wasn't sharp enough to take advantage of it, unlike Simms at the other end.

Oh some of the stuff is definitely unwarranted. Football fans though, what you gonna do...
The keeper thing is my hill to die on though, I don't think it's a position to needlessly fuck around with, especially when the number 2 is about as useful as hanging some wet toilet roll from the crossbar.

We again really should have conceded from a corner too.

For quite a big team we’re pretty useless in the air in both boxes. 5’11 Lats has scored the most from corners I think.

It’s just that same pattern again and again. We bring everyone back, clear the ball back to the opposition who whip it back in and we can’t defend it.
Allowing the opposition to cram the box while denying us an out ball is madness
That one that went out, thought it should been a corner, think my eyes are going.!

If the moment where he parried it is the same one I’m thinking of, it was nowhere near one of their players. Second half, right?
He’s a good goalkeeper at Championship standard, finished 5th with Barnsley a few seasons ago.
As for Wilson, the saves to xG speaks for itself and that probably doesn’t include 3 FA Cup goals that were soft.

2 changers there. Your spelling of Collins and your comparison of his ability with Wilson’s.
Why do you keep calling him Collings? Have I missed a joke?
