I agree with that. I do feel he needs to reign it in a bit though.I wasn't particularly impressed by Collins yesterday. But I am not going to judge anyone on one pre season friendly.
Players always need games at this time of year and we have a number of new faces who have barely had time to train together.
Pre season is the time to make mistakes and shake the rust out of your legs.
No, Robins said in his post-match interview that it was rubbish.As far as I can see the Wilson to Luton rumour was made up by someone on twitter as a joke.
Is there anything even remotely concrete out there linking him to Luton?
I could see what Collins is there for yesterday, he’s more like another outfield player with his passing range and can push the CBs a few yard up the pitch by playing further out. He’ll take time to settle, that back like has only just met each other and I’m not sure we’ve found the best set of players yet. They’ll get better once Dennis Lawrence has had his way with them.
Very harsh on Wilson after last season.I can’t see anything other than Collins starting. He’s played the last 3 games while Wilson has been injured, Robins unlikely to change it now. It’ll be Collins’ shirt to lose now.

Which won't take long. I don't want a keeper with the same build as Carl Baker.I can’t see anything other than Collins starting. He’s played the last 3 games while Wilson has been injured, Robins unlikely to change it now. It’ll be Collins’ shirt to lose now.

Kelly, Allen and Godden will disagree.Maybe, but Robins has never been sentimental.

Collins certainly plays a good bit out of his area, easier against the weaker opposition we had in the friendlies but there’s no room for error, one foul and he’s probably sent off.It's like playing Russian Roulette at the back, you just know it will go wrong at some point.
True, but Wilson should be first choice this season on merit.Maybe, but Robins has never been sentimental.

On merit for the player he was last season, not dropped ASAP because of people's preconceptions about him previous to that.On merit or because of last season?

I doubt it. Wilson was in the Championship Team of the Year and Golden Glove winner. That has increased his stock to the point where people were prepared to believe that a newly promoted Premier League side were bidding 2m+ for him. He's also obviously a massive figure in the dressing room.But Robins doesn’t work like that. Irrespective of how good a season Wilson had, if Robins thinks Collins is an upgrade on Wilson he will play him as first choice. And I suspect he does.
Peoples’ preconceptions & opinions are irrelevant, Robins will not take into account whether or not we think Wilson deserves the starting spot.

Of course, when Collins keeps out Leicester with a Buffon-esque array of brilliant saves, maybe he'll deserve to keep his place.

You missed the double "o" in buffoon. Surely only injury is keeping Wilson out.I doubt it. Wilson was in the Championship Team of the Year and Golden Glove winner.

What has Wilson done to be dropped?When we will see Collins? Distribution got to be better than Wilson, but don't think I can cope with another 500+ passes between the back line.
Did I say he had to be dropped? Just wondered how long/if we'll see Collins soon. Calm down.What has Wilson done to be dropped?
