Is he planning a tactical masterclass of playing a keeper that saves a shot occasionally. Think Plymouth would be more surprised if Collins did play given his recent performances.

Go back and watch it...I agree with you it's ambiguous, but if I had to say one way or the other then I would say he's giving Collins a vote of confidence and keeping him in the side.The way I read it was that FL was saying no he isn't prepared to say whether or not he will be making sure change.
TBF Wilson started the season and was rubbish. Collins came and was better so stayed in.He rated him enough to bring him in and play him ahead of Wilson, who had just had his best season for us. Buck stops with Robins I'm afraid .

Nah, he's saying he's not prepared to say.Go back and watch it...I agree with you it's ambiguous, but if I had to say one way or the other then I would say he's giving Collins a vote of confidence and keeping him in the side.
If he does start then we need to support him.
Sarcastic cheering and getting on his case aren't going to help.
Then if he does flap at the ball repeatedly, and let in 3 goals, should we given him a round of applause at the end of the game, and post cat memes to his Instagram.
I found it amusing , Collins should not play it's best if he doesn't play and best for the team.What a strange comment.

I agree he shouldn't play. But if he does I'm not sure giving him shit is going to inspire him to perform better.
If it did I'd be slating and booing several of them from the minute the whistle blew.
The only person I'd want to inspire is Lampard... to drop Collins.
But if he doesnt, and I hope he does, I think the best thing we can do is get behind him
Why anyone would want to get on a keepers case, one who's clearly devoid of confidence, during a game is baffling.
I'd genuinely rather help him get dropped than give him encouragement. If I didn't think he was a complete right off then I'd agree with you.
When does it get to the point when enough is enough? The above seems to imply that you will support him no matter what. If he made another 2,5,10,50 mistakes?I've been calling for him to be replaced since last season so my opinion of him was already low before his latest buffoonery.
But when he's on that pitch I'll give him my support, just like the other useless twats who I wish weren't playing.

Other than Dabo for a season and the two loanees - Robins didn't rate Adi's Chelsea lot, Collins, JDS and Kane were complete wastes of money and tbh I believe it is part of the reason their working relationship went sourRobins clearly didn't rate Collins, and the reason for that seems pretty obvious now. He shut him out the squad. Robins was never scared of making changes from one game to the next. Why is Collins still getting picked? It's the action of a manager who doesn't know what they're doing. Is it because Lampard doesn't trust a young keeper? Lampard hasn't done anything so far, to alleviate the concerns of those who didn't want him here.
Dovin needs to be given a run of games.I’d rather see someone like Oggy back at the club to asses the goalkeeping issues and whittle the 5 keepers we have down to 2 seniors and a younger option. Even then maybe bring in older keeper with a lot of experience who actually looks like a big strong 6’4 stopper! None of the front 3 keepers look like they can handle any kind of attention from aggressive forward.

Well it's exactly that isn't it?The Dovin purchase is looking like a slow burn, maybe in 2 years he will come good but he is still very young for a first choice Championship goalie.
That might help Collins to be honest. He might save a few more that way.It's a very low bar
Not the low free kicks...That might help Collins to be honest. He might save a few more that way.
He is almost certainly wishing he’d never joined. Dropped in record time for being quiet, then watches his replacement concede nearly every attempt on goal without being dropped himself.Well it's exactly that isn't it?
He's very young for a keeper and we may not see the best of him for a while, but I think he will turn out to be a very good keeper.
Maybe though, we felt we could sell him on and it was a good deal in that regard.
At 22, we certainly shouldn't be writing him off.
Seriously if Collins starts on boxing day then serious questions need to be asked of Lampard.
It also begs the question, what the fuck is wrong with Dovin?
Narrow Margins would also help.Pity the same couldn't be said for the goals, we might not concede as many!
