Pleased for Schmidt

I think we have two keepers with potential but in my opinion neither are as good as Davies. Out of the two I prefer Collins and I agree that he doesn't deserve to be dropped for his mistake but he must learn from it.

 

Just seen the goal again. Great movement from him to make the run.

I’d give him a start next game. We’ve about as much movement in the current starting eleven as a dead body.

 

To be fair davies wasnt great the last time round in the championship

 

True but like this time he was playing behind a poor team who collectively weren't good enough - he did ok in our first season in the championship. I dare say that Davies would struggle this season too playing behind this team.

 

I'd take that team over this one any day, mind you I think davies just had a poor season that season he made plenty of mistakes but the back 4 was changed every week and his confidence was low. He is a good keeper, but I think the goalkeeper position this season is the least of our worries.

 

I'm a big fan of Davies. Last season was, for me, the best I've ever seen from a Barnsley goalkeeper and I've had the pleasure of watching some superb 'keepers for Barnsley over the years. But I must say, I think Collins is very good. Bad mistake today, although I don't think he should have been anywhere near the ball to make it, and it must have knocked him for six, but it didn't affect him and for the rest of the game he was excellent.

This, and as others have said, what on earth was he doing taking the kick in the first place. New tactics for the sake of being "modern".

 

I'm with you on Collins, I prefer him to Radlinger and believe he has the potential to be as good as Davies. It was a bad mistake today but not something that I would drop him for (I agree that he shouldn't have been taking the kick in the first place). As others have said we have a lot of problems but the keeper isn't one of them.
