🎧 Should Collins start in goal against Pompey?
- Published
Coventry City goalkeeper Brad Collins was involved in a mix-up with defender Liam Kitching for Burnley's second goal in the 2-1 defeat on Saturday.
The 28-year-old deputised for first-choice keeper Oliver Dovin, who suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury at Sheffield United on 28 March.
But there are concerns about Collins starting against Portsmouth on Wednesday among some supporters, including Adrian Over and Lily Sloman who appeared on the Sky Blues Fancast with BBC CWR's Rob Gurney.
"I can't see a situation where Brad Collins can play against Portsmouth, can you?" Gurney asked the panel.
"It depends on whether [Ben] Wilson is fit enough," Over said. "I know he's been on the bench but there was a suggestion that he's not really fit to play.
"I'm not sure the modern game for goalkeepers suits Brad [Collins]. He actually made one really good save after conceding that goal.
"He made some good saves when he came on against Sheffield United. Coming on against the league leaders when you're 3-0 down is a bit of a thankless task and I thought he did well to keep the score down.
"It reminded us of things he was doing at the end of last season, what happened on Saturday, so I think probably bring Wilson in if he's fit enough but I do feel very sorry for Collins."
Sloman added: "I think I would like to see Wilson in goal, I think that would be nice. But then again with Collins, you don't want to shatter his confidence even more."
