Calamity Collis nearly costs us, here's some ratings!

Wiggy beginning to look right as usual, 5th year running!

I admire you for standing by your opinions, but you can't say you're beginning to look right until the majority start to agree with you and accept that what you're saying is correct.

The poll that J is running is massively in Collis' favour, so at the moment you're not.
 
I dont think that Collis was as fault as everyone is saying as the shot was from a long way out and the wind caught which meant that he had to dive late to stop it. It was like Hunts shot/cross which the keeper had to push over the bar

Time will tell, trust me it was the same with Emberson and Bart, they bow down to me in the end, keepers are my speciality and i also know that Matt Harrold is crap but keep it quiet!

Wind or hot air like you are spouting!

My sentiments also. Collis did what he could. if there is any criticism it's that he should have punched it instead.

IMO Daryl would have done the same.

Thankfully we are debating this after a win...:)

I'd have to see it again but from my position in the South Upper my first impression was that the ball did indeed swerve quite late on so Collis didn't have much option other than to parry. Surely our defenders should take some of the blame for not reacting quick enough?

Do me a favour, my old granny would have either caught it or palmed it away to the side out to safety!

Im telling you, i coud see straight down the line of the ball and it swerved. It was literally straight at him, right until the last min and it swerved to the right so he had to do a late dive. At the end of the day, the ball was moving around like anything today and that was proven by the terrible kicking from both sides.
 
Lol, you do yourself no favours Wiggy, sometimes you speak sense but then you spout something so ridiculous it kills and credibility.

Collis didnt look a bag of nerves today, even after the mistake.

If he isnt a natural keeper where do you suggest we play him, left back ?

Collis is a decent keeper, thats not in doubt for me, its whether he is a better option than Flavs.

Personally as I said above I thought Flahavan was made a scapegoat and Id prefer him but I dont think its as cut and dry as you make out and your views just come across as favouritism and totally biased....



I dont remember Collis claiming any more than one cross in the first half ?

Whilst Flavs is flawed with high balls Id say Collis has show he is too, just see the one against Luton....

As soon as the 1st goal went in my first thought was "Hmmmm, wiggy will be active tonight then" so I made sure I was looking out for how Collis played for the rest of the game so there was at least one unbiased opinion on the Zone as a response!! In the first half especially Collis was commanding in the air against some tricky deliveries in poor conditions, in the 2nd half Swindon didn't test him aerially much.
