Binks (5 Viewers)

[The Reverend Skyblue]

One of Binks’s first tackles, he did a little kick out towards player, I thought at the time what a fucking stupid thing to do, thank fuck he didn’t connect, as he would have been off
Shows that he just doesn’t have a team mentality, he just doesn’t think

I think Kitching has been our best performer outside of Rudoni since New year

He was unreal today aswell, headed and cleared everything and won every tackle

I’m yet to see Kitching play like a £4.5m CB when he doesn’t have Bobby Thomas next to him. That includes today. He’s capable of good performances here and there but he’s been extremely poor value for money.

I don’t know if many teams could make the same claim but we regularly concede not just soft but downright laughable goals. Clearly a defence coach of similar calibre to the other ones is what we need.

For a team in 6th place, we really do concede some goals that are just amateurish.

In the top half, only Sheffield Wednesday have conceded more goals than us and we’ve even conceded more goals than Derby, Hull and PNE.

We need investment in that area of the pitch. If we can concede 10-15 less goals next season, we should comfortably be a top 4 team.

He was great today

I know what you mean but looking at our 58 goals conceded,
With Dovin in goal 28 games 30 goals conceded 1.09 goals per game
With Collins in goal 15 games 23 goals conceded 1.62 goals per game
With Wilson in goal 3 games 5 goals conceded 1.67 goals per game
I know this is a bit simplistic but Dovin in goal for 45 games based on 1,09 = 49 goals, the same as Bristol, 3 more than Millwall, 2 more than Blackburn, 5 less than Middlesboro.

One of those can't be right, we've only played 45.

I think it includes Dovin and Collins in the same game when Dovin got injured

Binks and Kitching at the centre of the defence were under non stop pressure today for an hour from the 12th minute.
Binks deserves full credit for the part he played in that rearguard action.

Yes, he should have sorted his feet out and cleared their goal but responsibility for it rests with Collins for another moment of total goalkeeping madness.

that clearance by Binks screamed tiredness. Brain made a poor decision to go with his wrong foot, then his legs made a tired clearance.

He's ever so slightly to blame but 90-95% has to be on Collins.

He was very good yesterday.

 

[EalingSB]

He was very good yesterday.

Agreed, Kitching was solid.

I don’t agree with this passing the armband around which has happened a bit lately. Make Kitching captain on Saturday and get the whole team wound up and primed to put in the 90 mins of their lives.

He was very good yesterday tbf, Luton bombarded the box, and had numerous corners, and yet the defence looked nailed on to keep a clean sheet until they had the rug pulled from under them by that prick in goal. (Still fuming)

Kitching has been solid since Lampard put him in against Norwich.

Robins’ decision to start Lati and Binks this season was a massive lapse in judgement.

WTF was Robins thinking?

He keeps Kitching in, doesn't mess with the GKs and Robins is probably still in a job.

I think Binks is a good player.

Where does this thing that 'Robins messed with the keepers' come from?
He played Dovin in every league game but 3.
In the 3 Wilson played he kept a clean sheet in a win and in another we lost away at Leeds.

Dropping Kitching was much more of a factor.

Sure plays a mean pinball the lad

There are elements with binks which are promising, but there are also a lot which concern. Hes this modern type of defender that can play the ball but are pretty woeful at the bread and butter!!! which is a problem.

If we had a real solid stock of CB you would maybe think give it more time, but we dont. Wonder might be best for both parties if look elsewhere - especially if Robins pushed for him.

some balance for him on saturday, yes he should clear it....BUT he actually played pretty well and fought like a lion along with Kitching especially. He would have been knackered physically and mentally and ultimately its Collins who put him in that position.

It was a tired effort and got his feet tied up. Collins caused all that.

I still don't understand Binks signing. We already had a leaky defence last season and lacked experience and leadership, so to rectify that Robin's re-signed his young 2 choice left sided centre back, paying a decent fee and wages for him.

 

[Evo1883]

As posted in another thread , running slight back with tired legs and mind its easy to see how the clearance got messed up but the keeper creates the whole situation

Yep generally a very bad weak spot the defence for robins since the play off rebuild.

Football. I don't understand why people think different.
