Think its harsh to single out Colin but players progress and he is going backwards and seems to be steadily becoming worse.

Is it because he no longer has David Martin as a mentor?

He is fast becoming a calamity. Yesterday a ball was going harmlessly out for a goal kick and he for some reason decided to dive on it and it squirmed away.

He then came out again for no good reason and wiped out their forward on the edge of the box.

As for the final goal. His positioning or at least his anticipation wasn't the best. Taylor put him in a difficult position but he didn't cover himself in glory.

I see Steve Arnold is now second choice at his club. We could do a lot worse..

Every player makes mistakes but for some reason some posters/crowd pick up more on one players mistakes than others - that's all that's happening here.

He didn't decide to dive on the ball, he lost his footing, recovered and carried on - so what?

Did you see Steve's last performance at the hall? He was terrible.

How about the good stuff? Leaving his area and making a clearance, making a smart stop with his legs, contribution to Cokers goal with the free kick to Bonne etc etc

Agree with you, whenever we lose, some people just have to have someone to blame. The criticism of Collin is so unfair, he is a very promising young keeper and who one day will make the Club a decent sum of money. He wasn't at fault with the goals yesterday and indeed made several smart saves.

Jeacock, how on earth can people judge his worth against Tamworth. He didn't have a save to make. All I will say he dealt with Tamworth, far better than the Huddersfield keeper. Some have mentioned Steve Arnold, but he didn't look the part when we played against Sutton. He failed to hold a fair number of shots. His days looked almost over.

Just wish people would celebrate the positives. We more than matched Charlton for long periods and COSU kept another of their promises in getting the North Bank opened again.
 
Had to be in Somerset, but from speaking to my boy in W block, BBC Essex online comm and SZ it looked like the boys put up a great effort, one to remind some of our percentage of god awful moaning fans that there is remnants of a good squad slowly being put together and to be proud of.
We are going to need those god awful moaning fans to support us some more to help get out of this very competitive National league, starting with Yeovil next Sat.
Watching D1versity, seeing some of the main stands out of their seats clapping and singing, great stuff please do this more and join in with W block Blue Voice.
North bank soon coming home to us, please get us behind the goal COSU. The players need to HEAR the support for them to spur them on.

Good to see Kev fuming, we threw that away and should have had them take penalties, i was fuming too.
Those players are having to step up big time to get close to Charlton, but that win at Rochdale was huge for us in many ways and if we can continue to build on these performances, well its a must really.

The boys defended brilliantly at Eastleigh, Rochdale, Shots and Tamworth, lets not pull any of them apart after this big Charlton game, we are climbing the table nicely.
This Yeovil game is huge for us and we owe them after the FA cup from last year.

Yeah, Yeovil is the big game. I’ll be at Altrincham so hoping for a home win by hook or crook. Scrappy 1-0 next week is fine by me. Just bag the three points.

One thought on Collin…

We had an England U20 keeper, homegrown… hounded out of playing professional football by Southend fans abusing him. The lads 20 years of age and was arguably our player of the season last year. Get behind him and cut out the contestant negativity.

I haven’t heard anyone slag off Collin at any matches.

Hopefully that will remain the case, and if there has been then that is disappointing and unacceptable.

However, people are totally entitled to having an opinion and sharing it in a Supporters Website forum.

I don’t disagree, but it is well known the players are acutely aware of what’s said on this forum. Another great example is Emile who is now leading the line for Barrow in League 2.

Constructive criticism is fine, but the lad needs us all behind him

And the rest of us are entitled to point out they are talking out of their a**e.

Posters who's only point on a post match thread is the performance of one player are the usual continuous moaners that whinge about everything. Kev, Collin, Cosu, John Still, squad numbers etc. They have a continuous boring loop of the same whinges.

Most them just prove to the rest of us how little they understand about football......Especially goal keeping.
