Transfer Rumour Confirmed - Bradley Collins (2 Viewers)

[Ccfcisparks]

I think he might find his way to be Number 1. Hopefully he is good. 2 out the 4 needed this week in. Hopefully another couple of CB to go.

Confirmed now on instagram , will be an interesting battle between him and Wilson for number 1

Surely the end of the road for Moore?

Imagine he will be allowed to leave on a free

Was it Collins that saved Gyokeres' penalty up there the season before last?

It was

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

I think this lad will be first choice

I can’t see him being first choice immediately but wouldn’t surprise me if he is by the end of the season.

it was, and it royally fucked me off!

Yeah, most likely will go that way

Disappointed that wasn't featured in his announcement video.

 

[David O'Day]

We might see him as No.1 sooner rather than later.

He's much better with the ball than Wilson and Robins wants keepers that can do that

Being able to hit the pitch from on the pitch would be an improvement

 

[SBT]

Wilson has earned the starting spot, but will be on a very short leash. Fully expect Collins to be the regular keeper by Christmas.

 

[napolimp]

I don't understand how this is going to work with Wilson at the club, Wilson should definitely be number one but Collins is clearly a starter.

Aye, Wilson does kick the ball like he has curly toes

Collins fits more with how Robins has traditionally liked to play.

Sometimes "if it ain't broke" is good advice, and I'd say most clean sheets in the Championship is far from "broke".

Competition for places.

Start of last season nobody would have dropped moore for Wilson but look what happened

 

[Gibbo]

Sometimes "if it ain't broke" is good advice, and I'd say most clean sheets in the Championship is far from "broke".

I think McNally, Doyle McFadz with BNC and Bidwell in support just might be the main reason for the clean sheets. Much as I love the Ben Wilson back story, and he will forever have the memory of season 22-23 (including his goal), he never at any stage made me feel confident of anything except his ability at dealing with long shots. Dealing with longshots is the goalkeeper's basic job.

 

[San Francisco]

So I guess had we not played a goalkeeper in any of those games we still would've kept a clean sheet because of how incredible our defence is?

Do any of you Wilson-haters read what you type before posting?

I’m not sure “He’s better than not having a goalkeeper at all” is the strongest defence

No but the man got 20+ clean sheets FFS but we still must replace him ASAP because he makes some on here shit their pants. Most clubs in this league would be over the moon to have a GK with that record but of course SBT moans as usual.

So this time last year you would have put Wilson in over moore?

No because Moore was our starter. Same reason we shouldn't drop Wilson for Collins. What kind of question is that?

 

[Greggs]

Ridiculous signing, he's about 5 ft 8, miserable and was relegated the year before last. What a waste of money

"I think Simms will be a good signing"

"Oh that must mean you hated Gyokeres"

Two of the biggest contributors to that left at the end of the season, it's irrelevant really to talk about continuity now

It's Bradley not Phil

Wilson was good, the defence also played a part in the clean sheets.

He can make a wonder save but sometimes his technique and positioning was off and is distribution was awful.

Not saying drop Wilson straight away but Collins is a technically better keeper with much superior distribution so I would expect Robins what that in his team.

Robins isn't afraid to upgrade even players who having let him down.

Of course, clean sheets are a team effort. Some on here seem to treat Wilson like he's still a second rate League 1 tier keeper and hasn't really improved. I think he's massively deserved to be our no1 keeper.

 

[ceetee]

I see we hadn't got a shirt for him to wear

He’s massively improved and deserves a chance to continue that improvement. But he’s improved from a poor keeper to an average one. I hope he continues to good, but if not it’s nice to have competition.

 

[Greggs]

Why?!?

 

[Briles]

Fuck me. That interviewer.

"So Brad, obviously youve got arms, how important is that as a goalkeeper"?

 

[David O'Day]

For anyone isn't getting it

We have signed because:

a) It's good to have 2 keepers you aren't worried about starting
b) Better footballing ability from a keeper helps beat the press and creates space for other players
c) Moore is on a load of cash, far more than anyone would be happy paying for someone who s not going to start
