Watched the game in the pub with no commentary and thought he had a good game.
Showed good awareness to head one over the bar and was decent on the ball. He gets forward in possession quite a bit for Brentford.

Poor might have been a stretch in the immediate aftermath, but he was definitely no better than average. Has to bear at least some culpability for the goal (should have closed down his man initially and then waves a lazy leg instead of trying to stop the cross, something he did on at least three occasions). I also thought he was far too eager to get ahead of Wilson throughout the game resulting in a number of frees. Wilson is an awkward enough lad to play against tbf, but he used all his experience to come out on top of those particular battles.
Collins needs to add a bit of composure to his game defensively, he needs to learn he cant win every ball especially up against a wily old pro like Wilson.

I thought he played OK too. Wilson got the better of him physically a few times but he's a great striker who's built like a brick wall. He'll get better at managing those type of players with experience. Could have easily been a clean sheet.
Could have closed down a bit sharper on the goal but was far from at fault and that's being overly critical

He played fine and dealt with Wilson in the main very well. A player like Wilson is going to get the better of you physically from time to time that’s par for the course regardless of who you are. A real solid 7/8 out of 10 performance strange to say otherwise! Something that will come from experience is learning when to back off and that he doesn’t have compete on every single ball. He was very anxious to compete for everything with Wilson yesterday. I’m sure he was under strict instruction to get stuck into Wilson too.

I thought he was okay for the goal tbh. Enough pressure on Anderson to force him into making a poor cross which Hickey has made a terrible mess of. Soft penalty to boot.

Is every Irish player playing absolute sh*te at the minute apart from Ferguson? |

Like seriously, nobody's saying that about either player. Stop making sh*t up.

and Idah, if he gets one more goal from open play.  Tbf a lot of our normally reliable defenders arent playing/playing well lately, but Azaz, Connolly, Idah, Will Keane, Conor Noss are all having pretty decent seasons thus far. Russell Martin isnt helping matters!

Oh ffs, give it a rest, one can be critical of a players form/performance without dismissing his entire future. I have stood up for plenty of players on here, when criticism has gone overboard, Idah being a prime example, but Bazunu's form is a concern for any normal Irish fan and Collins had a very poor game tonight (I actually think he was poor last week also although many didnt agree and in general I havent been impressed with his form this season). Thats not to say I dont rate both players or that theyre finished! I would like to see their form improve however.

Yeah, they are. Literally every week players get written off or hyped up based off miniscule, insignificant amounts of evidence. Collins goes fromt from "a future Champions League player" to "a liability who can't defend" every few weeks. The lack of any sort of broader view on a players form or progress is embarrassing, most of you are little more than fickle armchair fans

"Armchair fans" coming from a lad who when you check the match thread the next day he's always on it so clearly doesn't go to a game home or away.
Was on the the Dutch game thread lecturing people on the correct Germanic pronunciation of the Dutch players names

No theyre not! Absolutely nobody has written Collins off or claimed that he is finished. That's in your head. Collins is potentially a Champions League player in the future, he had a sh*te game tonight and his form hasnt been great imo. We are all guilty of hyping players up, but some seem not to like it when a hype bubble is questioned!

Hadn't realised the Aviva was a 4G blackspot? Germanic pronunciation? Dutch people speak Dutch. You were b*tching about how a Dutch players name was being pronounced by a commentator, when in fact he was pronouncing it correctly and you were talking out of your hole. I wouldn't even compliment you by calling you an armchair fan, you're just a good old fashioned clown
