Brad Collins (44 Viewers)

[PVA]

Well the stats have been updated after yesterday's round of fixtures and poor old Brad cements himself as the worst keeper in the league this season:

Bottom for save percentage (50%)
Bottom for post shot expected goals - goals allowed (7.8)
Bottom for post shot expected goals - goals allowed per 90 (0.58)

(minimum 10 games).

So he lets in every other shot he faces and is at fault for a goal every other game.

Those stats flatter him!
Remember, some of those saves are pea-roller- esque. Like Portsmouth's one shot at goal.

Great, so he will be shit against Boro. That’s all we need

Although I am ok with criticising players is this all a bit too much and not exactly helpful?

So what are we meant to say about a keeper who has been responsible for so many goals last and this seasons?. He's crap .

A bit over the top for an awful keeper. So do we say nice things and say poor Brad your well being may be effected so we ignore now shite you are .

Did someone hack your login to post about Simms on a bunch of threads, or was that you being helpful?

Would have zero confidence if we go into the last day still needing a point with Collins in net

The Simms comments are based purely on his performances. I’ve not said I hate him or someone should end his career so he can’t play anymore

Fair point, although I don't think people's comments about Collins are because he cut them up in traffic.

 

[SleepyGinger]

There must be a reason Wilson isn’t playing and not because ‘Collins is better with his feet’. He was in the championship team of the year 2 years ago.

 

[baldy]

Everytime Collins does that punching in the ground thing everytime he lets a goal in,I wonder if he's trying to summon the earthly spirit of Lee Burge to come & help him like some shit shamen

 

[robbiethemole]

@Saddlebrains, you seem to have an in to the Club, can your link convey to Frank how fucking fed up we are of Brad fucking Collins screwing up our chance of play offs???
Surely he must realise he's the weakest link and needs swapping out for Wilson, fuck his personal need, it's for the good of the team and Club and it's future.

Can also add, he’s had 45 shots and he’s conceded 23 goals, so if Luton have 6 shots we need 4 goals to win Wilson’s not injured so just dont get why he’s sticking with Collins, makes no sense,

 

[Sick Boy]

I still think we should have got Oggy back in part time coaching he would have improved the GK department! I’m sure he would have been vocal enough to say who is good enough and who can be improved even after a few weeks !

It wasn’t that long ago that he claimed there would be inevitable PL interest in Palmer.

Coming from the person who voted to say they’d rather have Biamou upfront than Simms on Saturday….ok

That doesn't mean he's wrong about Collins.
How anyone can want him to continue in goal is baffling.

I don’t think anyone does but it’s not like Wilson is much better. At this point it’d probably be worth the gamble but I don’t think they’ll make the change at this point - I genuinely don’t get why we offered Wilson a new contract though at this point.

If Wilson turns out to be statistically the 2nd worse keeper in the league he'll still be an upgrade on Collins.

I agree about not getting why he was offered a new contract. And that's why I think people who expect him and Collins to be gone in the summer are in for a disappointment.

Ah yes because you've been so kind in your criticism of Dasilva, and plenty more in the past (Palmer, Biamou to name a few).

I vote in a poll over an imaginary scenario and you take it seriously?
Get a life, fella

 

[quinn1971]

Leeds fans were saying the same thing about their keeper, got to the point where the manager had to do something, they weren’t going up with meslier, rightly dropped him and brought darlow in, now look at them, not saying he’s gonna cost us going up but he’s making it harder, Wilson does no worse than Collins, doesn’t make sense why he’s not playing him, had no problem dropping binks or Eccles because they weren’t good enough, show some balls frank

 

[SBT]

It’s getting a bit OTT and personal

“It’s getting a bit OTT and personal”, says man who once demanded Mark Robins to be murdered execution-style

 

[skybluecb]

He can't play at Luton. They will have done their homework and will just shoot on sight knowing there is a 99% chance of scoring, even with a powder puff shot. They will also bombard us with high balls into the box knowing he cant catch. I can't remember a worse keeper playing for us. The beating of the ground he does is pathetic, if he is frustrated with his mistakes then take it out on the ball by saving it !!!! That's his job.

 

[GC1976]

If Lampard drops him now it will be an admission that he was wrong to continue with him after previous howlers.

Not sure if Lampard is this stubborn but I don't think he and the coaching team are looking at this from the same angle as fans. I'm 90% sure he will play in our last two (or more) games of the season and 50% sure he will be here next season.

If Frank can’t make the decision to change a keeper who is not performing then he won’t be as successful as we hope he will be ! Put your big boy pants on FL do the right thing! Call Uncle Harry or Sir Alex if you need too !

 

[torchomatic]

Exactly. I have been hyper critical of Sheaf, but have never once been personal or abusive.

Some of the comments on here are ridiculous and OTT.

Can't believe some stuff I have read on here... Would love to hear what Ben Wilson has to say about playing second fiddle to Collins ATM. I just think Collins is one of those keepers who is fine initially (he does make some impressive saves sometimes). But then if he makes a couple of errors in quick succession, his confidence is shot and he is very likely to flap and panic again rather than regain composure. Saw it in another keeper we had years back under Gary McAllister (Scott Shearer I think his name was): just not mentally strong enough.

His punching the ground for conceding is akin to Joe Murphy shouting at every player within earshot for his fuck up leading to a goal.

I'm sure I heard on one of the pods that Wilson was not even warming up with the keepers at Plymouth away (can anyone confirm?) so maybe he is more injured than we are being told and is travelling with the team as support rather than to play? I would prefer Collins to someone who hasn't even had 1 first team fixture under their belt at championship level.

Wilson has hardly played first team football for most of his career, I doubt he’s that bothered at this point, otherwise he’d have left for first team football.

First goal he maybe could have saved it but simms and about 4 defenders were more at fault
Second goal mve mostly to blame grimes why isn’t he sliding to block and it goes straight through Collins legs. I just thought him banging the ground as frustration at allowing a shot in that he thinks he should have saved
Third goal we fail to win the second header at least twice and then mve waves a foot at the ball completely allowing bundu a free header which he heads straight at Collins who should do better than reflexively popping it up for another header

for me he’s 15% at fault for first
25% for second and it was the worst one for mw
15% for third

Dovin let’s the first one in I think but not the other two

I put it on here before a game a while ago but Dovin didn't warm up with the keepers and still started.
No idea why, but I'm not sure there's a great deal to be read into it.
