Sometimes you have to take a young kid out of the firing line.

Don't re write history, he was making poor mistakes and decisions which cost him his place

Nah, not true. He had some great games. We were at Watford and he made some tremendous saves.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Nah, not true. He had some great games. We were at Watford and he made some tremendous saves.

And at Bristol.

 

[Ricketts]

A few of you saying Dovin ‘outstanding’ ‘man of the match’ etc, and then only nine.
Tough crowd

 

[torchomatic]

And at Bristol.

Yes. We were there two. Both games.

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Fucking he'll good job we didn't lose some real shit going on here.

 

[harvey098]

Nowhere near as many we Collins though

Agreed. Rhys Carr and Lampard the only ones to have played Collins in the league this season. Not sure what they were seeing in training.

Once you get yo 10 you can't get any better always room for improvement.
Still needs to distribute the ball out quicker, Imo

 

[mmttww]

Me: let's see how the players did

SBT: virtual Jersey Shore screamfight

 

[Cally Fedora]

You’d think we’d lost 5-0 to a Don Hyam treble, a Thomas-Asante own goal and a late header from Rovers sub Claire-Marie. Enjoy the win!

 

[The watchmaker]

I'm not calling out Lampard here... but his decision to pick Collins over Dovin is looking more and more bemusing by the game. No offense to Collins but Dovin is class. May be my new favourite player.

No idea why you have bombed that - care to explain yourself @Boicey?

 

[pusbccfc]

Love the bloke.

 

[skybluecam]

Probably because Lampard didn’t exactly pick Collins over Dovin, he just stuck with the keeper who’d been starting before he came in, as most managers would.

5 for a goalscorer ? That's incredibly harsh

 

[The watchmaker]

I think Robins made some comments, or it was inferred, about a lack of presence and communication from him.

Which I don't have too much of an issue taking out the firing line for a game or two.

The real problem was Collins staying in the team for so long despite being at fault for at least a goal a game. It was really bizarre

I think there were a few things:
1) it played in with this idea that we needed 'leadership' at the back
2) Defenders (Thomas?) kept shouting at him in game. Dovin had a bit of a mare on international duty and Robins was trying to look after him.
3) Wilson actually did okay too. Not the shot stopper Dovin is but he had 3 clean sheets in his 6 games this season and those were the first 3 clean sheets of the season.

 

[The watchmaker]

Probably because Lampard didn’t exactly pick Collins over Dovin, he just stuck with the keeper who’d been starting before he came in, as most managers would.

I mean he did exactly pick Collins over Dovin 5x... but I did try to make it clear that I wasn't criticising him for it??

I agree...id rate him the same a 5.Hes just wastes every opportunity..Simms wins the ball gives to BTA..then he runs into about 5 players and loses the ball...rinse repeat every 5 mins. Frustrating.

He is frustrating I wouldn't ever dispute that but I'd take a frustrating 6 points from 6 every time .

 

[stupot07]

It's a really difficult game to score, we were poor first half but went in a goal up, then scored right after half time knocking the stuffing out of Blackburn. We got a cleansheet but weren't particularly defensively solid, but at the end of the day we got th 3 points.

Precisely, the break allowed him to get his head together and regain his confidence.

 

[hill83]

He should be able to go on about what he,wants without getting would you say that to my face bollocks.

If people think it's stupid, fair enough, they're quite with in their right to tell him so.

I’d say it to your face but you are about a foot taller than me

 

[Nick]

Can't figure it out.

Robins never dropped dovin
Robins dropped dovin to give him confidence which is why he's good now

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

That was in his second run of games wasn't it? And the only obvious error he's made really.

Yes the only obvious error for us, could not understand why he was dropped, Wilson is ok as a no 2 but that's about it, as for Collins I've seen more agile corpses.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

It's gone and in the past , this constant sniping is getting tiresome .
I still think King pulled the trigger early but CCFC is my club and I will back whoever is in charge .
Just hope some on here allow fair criticism of Lampard where it's warranted

 

[quinn1971]

Maybe Doug does know his stuff, perhaps we have got a top 6 deck ?

Still think we are a creative player centrally short but am happy to be proven wrong when Wright and EMC are fit

 

[quinn1971]

Was hoping torp would be it but hasn’t quite got it yet, getting better though, wonder How wright and EMC both fit back in ? we’re just starting to look more balanced, not a bad problem to have though

It's really not difficult, Nick. Dovin missed 3 league games after a few negative headlines about him and was replaced by a guy who is 50/50 on clean sheet sheets this season. Irrespective Dovin was Robins' No1 for his last five games.

Yet somehow, every thread I open on here, someone is spouting cr@p about it being Robins' fault that Lampard picked Collins despite Robins not picking Collins once this season. There is no logic there. None at all.

Blame Carr if it makes you feel better about life but literally none of us would have picked Collins over Dovin. Buck lies with the manager at the time and no desperate attempt to pin it on anyone else should be entertained...

...but... Dovin is awesome, the team is winning and I still think Lampard has a chance of achieving something special with us. So instead of spraying sh1t around lets just move on...

Dovin admitted himself in an interview that he struggles with the communication side & understands that he needs to work on it.

 

[Grendel]

@Ring Of Steel who was your man of the match?

Im really worried about him. He didn’t comment once during the match or after.

I hope he’s ok

 

[Johhny Blue]

I get that but I could see it and I went on record with that. I'm right majority of time so I think it's time posters start following me as some sort of Messiah or something that's all.

Fuck off Your Highness

 

[rob9872]

Just back, fekkin awesome. Made more noise with smaller number again tonight than for ages. Lots of deserved man love for Dovin, hope he's our keeper for the next 10 years but let's remember his high ceiling when he drops the inevitable clanger that sll keepers do occasionally (that's occasionally Brad if you're reading). Motm again, back to back clean sheets too.

Big shout out for MVE tonight too. Massive improvement and covered loads of ground. Still feel we've got something missing in midfield and they won a lot of headers, but are a big side so that's forgivable. Nice to see Ellis get a goal, let's see if he can kick on from here and get on a run.
