Never understood the mantra that Collins is a better goalkeeper than Wilson. Last season Wilson was voted the best goalie in the Championship not 2/3/4 but the best, subjective I know, and we kept a record number of clean sheets. We sign a keeper from the 3rd tier and suddenly people assume he will be better than Wilson, probably based on the sole criteria that he is new.
Collins seems a massive introvert almost nervous and has never exuded any outward confidence. He often punches away shots instead of catching them, was partly culpable for Sunday's opening goal. and the results show over the past few weeks we not only don't keep clean sheets we are conceding multiple goals most games.
As people have said Clough signed the best no1 in the league Shilton even though he said at the time, his then no1 Boulton I think was a top 6 goalie.
