I think his hands are ok, it's more his feet that seem to be the problem. He gets beaten with shots low and hard and rather than try to block with his feet, he tries to get a hand down to it.He doesn't have strong hands at all, so a lot of shots hit almost right at him, go straight through him, unfortunately.
Wouldn’t think soDo we think there's any chance of Thomas or EMC returning for Sat? We certainly miss their physicality
1st goal, ill give him that on balance, a lot more went wrong before goal, however his body just crumbles when watching it.This might be controversial, but I don't think Collins did a lot wrong against Plymouth.
I mean you can tell his confidence is so fragile by the way he reacted to the goals, but he was massively exposed for the 2nd and 3rd goals. And the first was a precision finish in the only place he could score.
If he's fit, he'll play against Luton and I suspect with the rest of the team that started v WBA.
We're a much better side with Sheaf in, one of the players we have prepared to take the ball in a tight position and a more progressive passer. The former attribute is needed against any team sitting relatively deep to draw them out.
No average or better Championship keeper is conceding that 2nd goal, in fact I'd have saved that and I'm 49 and stopped playing in goal for the Black Dog in Weymouth in 1995.This might be controversial, but I don't think Collins did a lot wrong against Plymouth.

Having been at Southampton last season when he did a weird slap at the ball rather than just catch it which cost us a goal and Pompey this season, I'm certainly not going to die on a hill defending him, just feel some poster's vitriol has gone too far.1st goal, ill give him that on balance, a lot more went wrong before goal, however his body just crumbles when watching it.
2nd goal - he gets nut megged, its shocking, he should save that.
3rd goal - not brave, turns his body, if he remains square and brave 90% sure he saves that.
Genuinely feel any shot could go in. Hes a poor GK, positionally, feet, shot stopping palms everything back into danger.
I feel for him as he will play saturday. Little we can do, but he's so bad.
It’s a good balance between him and Grimes. Sheaf acts as a pivot higher up the pitch and Grimes does a similar thing in a deeper position.
Lampard was on the money when he called out the lack of imagination in the final third. Too often Rudoni, MVE, Sakamoto, Wright or Paterson wouldn’t take on a player, take a shot or put the ball the box. It was often too safe and tickled the edge of the box without actually causing them issues.
On the long train journey back from Plymouth, the common theme they highlighted was our lack of chance creation.
Beautiful cross for haji tooKitching probably attempted as many crosses as Sakamoto

If they get 10 shots on target, based on Collins's starts we'd concede 5.Can't see us getting anything there they are on a good run and must be licking their lips at the thought of Collins playing.
Are you avaliable as a free agent for a thru-end-of-season contract?No average or better Championship keeper is conceding that 2nd goal, in fact I'd have saved that and I'm 49 and stopped playing in goal for the Black Dog in Weymouth in 1995.
I dunno, I caught a bit of one off their recent wins. The place was like a morgue. That or my speaker is fubar.We wont win this
That place will be an absolute evil cauldron on Saturday, they're fighting for their lives and we crumble against anyone that shows some fight
Where else are they supposed to shoot from? Outside the ground?If they get 10 shots on target, based on Collins's starts we'd concede 5.
If I was their manager I would be urging them to shoot on site.
They'd still probably score if they did that tbf.Where else are they supposed to shoot from? Outside the ground?
No laughing emoji yet?We're a much better side with Sheaf in, one of the players we have prepared to take the ball in a tight position and a more progressive passer. The former attribute is needed against any team sitting relatively deep to draw them out.
I must admit I've never tried that before.Has anyone had a look at the Luton forum? They’re fucking backwards
I certainly think we can get a draw at leastI know it’ll be an unpopular opinion with a few but I fancy us to beat them.
We’ve shown that we can bounce back from those kind of performances. I reckon we’ll win 2-0.I certainly think we can get a draw at least
People have to wipe Plymouth out of their minds.
We were tactically out-thought that day and shut out of the game. It was a one-off.
I think it will be different on Saturday
Luton have been fantastic this season. We need to be so scared to play them, just check that table out.
