The stats from last nights game are insane.

Apart from the obvious goal advantage and shots we had more possession, more passes, more accurate passes, more forward passes, most duel won.

Tackles let us down. Love Torp and Allen but they're not the players when your backs are against the wall. Need a bit more steel in there.

He will be supported

I worry that he won't.
I can see the cat calling and the ironic cheers starting and it won't help at all.

I've not rated Collins for a long time but while he's between the sticks I'll get behind him but I'm not sure that will be the case for everyone.

 

[Sick Boy]

Probably the same people clapping their goal

He will be supported - but it’s completely fair to suggest that we probably aren’t going to be promoted with a goalkeeper of his calibre playing

I genuinely couldn’t tell you three occasions where he has had an impressive game

We managed to get the SF with him last season and finished 9th.

Heard it around me last night. People who do that to their own are cunts.

Yep, exactly what my lad and I said last night.

It's a blow, but we can still do it. Fans slagging him off at games won't help.

Lots of ineffective passes, frustrating to see

At home he will be ok - the away games seem to attract a certain type of supporter

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Im not on about last night, we were schooled by them from about 10 minutes in tbh, we were dog shit

Im stating that in my view, any ideas we may harbour of a top 6 finish have taken an absolutely huge blow losing Dovin

Dovin has won us points single handedly this season, we all know it.

Collins, on the other hand, has cost us points single handedly

I don’t think we did an awful lot wrong last night, we went 1-0 down to a screamer and it’s v difficult to comeback from that.

They’re both pretty rubbish goalkeepers. Dovin will probably be back for the next game and after Burnley, we play teams mostly in relegation battle so they are games we should win with or without Dovin, imo.

You’re overreacting imo and you’ve made a habit of this all season.

 

[Tommo1993]

Nobody is blaming Dovin. They’re saying what happened was result of awful decision on his part combined with a shithouse thug who chopped him.

None of our shots were dangerous other than the one that went in, though, and they dealt very easily with the crosses we put into the box. Their percentage of forward passes to total passes is also significantly higher than ours (40% to 32%); the stats look like that because they let us play in front of them with the intention of defending the crosses we put in.

 

[shepardo01]

That’s the spirit seeing as he’s ahead of Wilson I don’t think Lampard agrees with you

I was told a couple of weeks ago that Wilson has been injured again.
Very loose info though.

 

[shepardo01]

He kept us in the game against Sunderland away this season ffs

He was at fault for one of their goals.

 

[SBT]

He was at fault for one of their goals.

Which one?

 

[shepardo01]

Not the one that looped over him.
The straight shot from the edge of the box.
Poor reactions, then very poor technique with the ball just going through his hand.

He was warming up when dovin got injured, then It cut to Collins coming on, maybe Wilson only on the bench to make the numbers up with kitching dropping out,

 

[Alkhen]

No way, it was the turn that did his knee

Take the comma out and you are correct

 

[Nick]

Why are we blaming Dovin for getting fouled?

It's very weird. Probably applauded it as well as hamer's goal

Such an odd reaction. You know 22 year olds knees don't tend to just pop when turning.

I'm not saying it was an assault or anything but clearly a foul. There is contact on the other leg as he is making the turn which meant the the power got distributed wrong. It's super unfortunate but if there was no foul there would be no injury. It's pretty clear.

Odd to be desperate to blame a young keeper. Like it or not turns and the like are part of the game for modern keepers watch the top ones in the Prem.

The biggest twat of the night was that horrible bastard Choudhury

For being better than our midfield, bar Grimes?

To be fair, I didn’t hear anything around me last night. He got a bit of a chant during the warm up which he responded to, and the two good saves he made were applauded.

I fear the reaction if he makes another mistake, but if the worst we see is him booting the ball out of play from goal kicks then we should be ok!

Funny you should say that.

Dovin kicked the ball into touch. Nothing. Collins did in the second half and a few around me were raging. Pathetic from grown men.

That is what I fear the most, his reaction after a mistake.

All keepers make mistakes.

 

[pusbccfc]

I didn't see or hear any applause for Hamers goal?

 

[shmmeee]

Was a great free kick TBF.

Very true. A lot of away supporters are coked up, embarrassing twats.

Not like he did
That’s not right it was a yellow card

 

[torchomatic]

I didn't see or hear any applause for Hamers goal?

No, I didn't to be fair. Loads clapped him when he came over to take a corner though. That was the side we were on.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Thought dovin could have saved it but not should have

 

[Skybluekyle]

It wasn't "stupid" from Dovin, he successfully got the ball away from a man challenging for the ball. Whether people like it or not, keepers are much better with the ball at their feet than in the past.

As much as I think Campbell is a big-time Charlie c**t, who is having his first remotely successful season of his career and hopefully collapses under the weight of his own arrogance, he wasn't at fault for the injury, and it certainly wasn't Dovin's fault either.

It was just an unfortunate event...both that the striker's challenge resulting in an injury and Dovin doing what keepers are expected to be capable of doing these days, retaining the ball even in tight situations.

Listening to Fadz and Kelly on c&w, complete class from both of them! Legends

What was said? Or can we listen back?

Saw some from our fans in the tv

Ball should’ve been hoofed instead of the turn.
