IMO Collins looked so far above Walton today. The way he reads the game and the on-the-ball stuff so much better than Walton. Passing, Creating angles to receive ect People want to make jokes about it but the guy's Chelsea academy pedigree shines through so much.
Disagree. Thought Walton was much better today, especially his reading of the game and instructing the players in front of him. More than happy with either in our nets.
Some good some bad. We got stuck at times I thought playing because we couldn't switch the ball from the right to the left in the first half. Sraha and Cundy are far too stiff. I'll not use the Tyson Fury Line haha Tougher tests will come but I saw more from Connell than I thought at DM. Thomas. some good, just problems with being one-footed. Wolfe got a few tellings off including a quite loud one from I think Duff within 5 minutes. Styles did the minutes then did some running which shows how hungry he is I think.
I agree. Walton can't lace the boots of Collins. Collins has no competition for the number 1 slot and if he goes we will have to bring in a brand new number 1.
Is my memory playing tricks ? It was Walton who was between the sticks when we performed the great escape under Struber was it not ? , I actually cannot believe the criticism he is getting , if you consider some of the defending in front of both our keepers I think we are very fortunate to have such quality as Collins & Walton & I am genuinely puzzled by some of the comments & i for one have every confidence in Walton should Collins move on & he deserves his crack as first choice.
I think this is where I am. Collins is the better of the two, but Walton was always an able deputy, and especially now we've dropped a division I've no issue with him becoming no 1.
I can’t see them both being here come August. Either Collins gets bought and Walton becomes number 1 or Collins stays and Walton goes, either on loan or full time. I think Collins is the better of the 2 personally but Walton can definitely be our league 1 keeper if we need him to be.
Jack Walton last season played 10 games and kept 1 clean sheet in the league cup. He let in four against BARROW!!!! He went on to let in four in another two games. He let in 23 goals at 2.3 goals a game........ https://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=81897&season_id=154 Brad in his last ten games let in only fourteen goals and kept two clean sheets despite playing a lot of the teams towards the top like Fulham, Sheffield United and Middlesborough...... https://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=96780&season_id=154
Nowt to do with those in front of him then. He made a couple of mistakes admitted ( as did collins) but saved us from some proper hidings. The defence went to pieces. Whilst he was in the nets. In fact forgot to turn up in some cases. Brittan the main culprit. Lost Helik. Weak replacements. Or doesn't that matter.
Erm, what about Pearce? I don't think he's signed to play U23's. Obviously I mean Searle, but I've had beer.
I was just checking to see if we had signed another player i missed before commenting this, Biglil. Had me confused for a second. Getting Pearce from Searle is quite impressive!
