Collins had been having a decent game to that point, but that decision is indefensible.
Just stay on your line and let the defenders deal with it.

I’m sorry, we defended bravely, but that was not an even game

Games don't have to be even to get a result. We would surely have got a draw until Collins flattened Kiching (who had things under control) and then left an open goal.

Why I'd Lampard picking Collins he has cost us against Burnley Plymouth and Luton. Yet he keeps his place.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

It was, but the defeat was solely down to Collins.
It was 10 vs 10 with minutes to go, and we could even of snatched it until that fucking clown pressed self destruct.

Binks could’ve, should’ve done better with the goal line clearance but Collins was on a kamikaze mission.

 

[clint van damme]

Collins is totally shot mentally and at this point the club are failing in their duty of care to get him out of the firing line.

Played well for 80 minutes, crowd behind him, dealt with everything then something switched.

Punched a ball from under the bar unchallenged which he should have caught..
Same again moments later albeit there was a challenge but he still should have claimed the ball and then within minutes the mistake for their goal.

Looked crestfallen when the players came to applaud the fans and kept to the edge of the group.
It's really not a good situation for anyone.

I posted on here before the game, he looked terrified walking out on that pitch.

It’s not fair on him to keep playing him

But the 80 minutes he had should have boosted his confidence.
Same as his performance against West Brom. But neither did. His heads gone

If you come out that far, you need to deal with the threat one way or the other. He did neither and left his goal open. Criminal.

Binks definitely should’ve done better but the point is that he shouldn’t have been in that situation.

Atleast Binks is running backwards towards goal so its easy to see why tired legs can let him down
The entire scenario doesnt happen of collins stays on his line and let's his defender deal with it , he did exactly the same to Liam a couple.weeks back .. stay on your line

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Sure frank won't play Wilson in such an important game..coming back from Injury and no game time!..think we stuck with Collins!!..

Fergie dropped Jim Leighton for Les Sealey in the 1990 FA Cup Final Replay. Wilson like Sealey has the character and personality to play in the big games!

 

[bigfatronssba]

But the 80 minutes he had should have boosted his confidence.

I think that was the problem. Started thinking he was good

Agreed. You just wouldn’t have thought Kitching and Collins have played together for years before joining us…

 

[shepardo01]

As we've said.
Even other teams fans are fully aware of his levels.

 

[ccfcchris]

I've been banging the drum for months

Hes a fucking calamitous c**t and I genuinely cannot believe Lampard persists with him

Hope he has a career ending injury in training

That's a disgusting thing to say. We're all angry but I hope you can reflect and regret that comment.

Already have above

Fair play. then.

 

[bigfatronssba]

Already have above

We all say rash things in the heat of the moment

 

[Senior Vick from Alicante]

Ben Wilson must be carrying an injury not to be selected, it can be the only reason to persist with Collins. He will be shot mentally now if he wasn't before.

 

[skyblue025]

That's a disgusting thing to say. We're all angry but I hope you can reflect and regret that comment.

Yes disgusting. Season ending would be fine though.

 

[larry_david]

I seriously hope he's match fixing, because if he's not then he's really fucking shit

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

If only that Boro fan was more focused on their own team. They picked up 1 point against teams with nothing to play for.

I’ve been banging on about it for a while now, in the worst case scenario, we always needed to beat Boro on the last day in most permutations.

Blackburn and Millwall play Sheff U and Burnley respectively, I’m reasonably confident a draw v Boro sees us through.

 

[shepardo01]

Saddle.
I really want to know the inside track on this.
What has been the reasoning?
How much say to Aled Williams have on this!?

Also, I can't imagine the rest of the players are happy with him.

I'm still fuming.....

Yeah I agree, wouldn't want to rely on other results by drawing at home, but it will most likely have been enough at 14:30 Saturday.

Exactly. If Leeds win convincingly v Bristol, a draw v Boro may see us overtake them and any teams like Blackburn/Millwall that could overtake us on GD may also finish above them. Then we finish 6th anyway.

We didn’t do ourselves a favour in the recent away games which is massively disappointing. It just means that Boro game needs to be a win.

You are a total fucking c**t. Shove your ITK shit up your fucking arse. You entitled fucking c**t.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Not too sure there’s a way back for him.

Take away any views on his ability, mentally he has to be in a bad place. Unless he has zero self awareness he’ll know he’s messed up again.

Confidence will be shot and I’m not sure playing in front of a sell out crowd in a massively high pressured games is ideal.

Equally, no idea what the answer is. I don’t think Wilson is the confidence person he’s made out to be, he’s happy to be a second choice for a reason.

 

[AOM]

Just stay on your line and let the defenders deal with it.

Looking back at the highlights, his save against Walsh's effort was brilliant.

And then just completely lost his head in the 90th minute, and it just rules out all the good work

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Watch him cost us points again the prick

FFS stop getting things right.

You on the other hand have decided to have a bitch fit about the comment hours later

Have a coffee and sober up you clown

It’s just hearsay on the coach up to the game from randomer. They supposedly had tenuous links to Wilson and it was said that he expected to play this week.

Assuming that’s true, it poses the following questions:
- why did Lampard change his mind? and
- what did he see to not trust Wilson in goal?

Either way, it’s clear that neither Collins and Wilson is highly rated and therefore, to address the long term question at GK, we need a GK to challenge and/or replace Dovin next season.

I genuinely thought the people saying Dovin getting injured would be the end to our playoff homes were loopy/scaremongering… they weren’t despite some of the personal and somewhat nasty criticisms of him.
