[Colin Steins Smile]

I know-and alongside you and many others I’ve seen him cost us points home and away.
Let’s just give him one last Hurrah and then we can wave him goodbye come the end of the season.

What makes you think that any other club would want him after his track record here?

Voted for by all the opposition fans

We got behind him Saturday and it didn't make a blind bit of difference

Binks got behind him and look what happened then

 

[Ashdown]

He’s had more than a second chance for me now. I did try and support him to start but have realised that he’s just not got a level head and he can’t get down to anything struck low.
On your head be it Frank if you pick him !!

I still look at Man U first goal and think he should have done better ….

 

[StrettoBoy]

we all have to get behind him from the start

I agree. I think his confidence has gone and we mustn’t make it worse for him.

It could have been a lot worse if we had got on his back. He was alright until his late error.

Would love for him to prove everyone wrong and have 4 world class performances to finish the season.

Can’t see it happening sadly. So it’s a case off desperately hoping the defence do a good enough job that he has nothing to do which also seems unlikely.

No doubt about it - i was right behind that ball in, and a sack of shit lying on the ground would have stopped it.

Collins's one strength is the flamboyant tip over the bar. Other key aspects of a keeper's game are sadly lacking ...

1. His defence of his near post is non-existent
2. He lets the ball go under his body far too often
3. He can't command his 6-yd area effectively (catching, punching, etc)
4. His communication with his defenders in and around the penalty area is an accident waiting to happen (as we have seen twice in the last three games)

He is kept in the side simply because he can play out to the back four, but some of our most valuable goals have come when he has kicked it long.
I think the downfall of previously solid keepers like Wilson, Moore and now Collins asks serious questions of Aled Williams, who i think needs to be shown the door!

 

[Hobo]

Whoever is picked in any position I will support them. Managers and coaches live in the real world and fans live in an ideal world.

 

[rob9872]

Wilson played the last 3 against Middlesbrough in 22/23. We were unbeaten and conceded 1 goal. Even just seeing his name might make 1 or 2 of them think a bit more.

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

By comparison, if Bristol City ever release Max O'Leary, we should splash the cash. Watch his performance against Leeds last night. Not at fault for any of the 4 goals they conceded. It would have been 10-0 if not for him. Masterclass!

Are you sure managers and coaches live in the real world, some of the stories I've been told I would not be too sure about that .

Collins is so weak on his near post. At the Manure game hardly any mention was made on the tv of the cross he let through body effectively.

Pandur from Hull would be my choice until Dovin returns. Played a blinder for them here

If you could train any animal to be a keeper which would be the best? I'm thinking a large cat but maybe more leopard than tiger, they are smaller but i think they have better spring. I'd like to open this question up to the class.

Blue Whale and just stick it in front of the goal.

eats, shoots and leaves??

 

[rob9872]

eats, shoots and leaves??

No, I know that one too, but I'm afraid this is much worse

 

[robbiethemole]

I know we're all against using one of the younger keepers, but James Trafford at Burnley is only 22, why not go for the arrogance of youth?
Whoever won't be fazed by the game as the confidence and attitude would be sky-high.

Just seen on Facebook , That have nicknamed him Spill Collins

Certainly some comedians on there.

Yep-fair point.

If only he could feel it coming through the air and hold on

You only think knowing now what we know it's a nailed on certainty he should have, let's face it a goalkeeper is there to save shots and keep the opposition at bay, that's 2 things he's not good at, catch more than the odd ball and relieve pressure errr nope, kick the ball to our players errr nope again so on the pro side instead of the cons...the opposition love him !!

 

[StrettoBoy]

kick the ball to our players errr nope again

I think he is a poor goalkeeper but in fairness to him his distribution is decent.

Yeah I seen him on Saturday kicking it in to touch a few times

 

[Monty]

Personally had enough of Collins. Wilson not the answer. I'd back Bell and go for the future. Face it, he can't do any worse
