Collins is immense in the air much of the time, and blocks a hell of a lot that goes un noticed, sure he is not a continental style distributor like say.... Arsenal have, but then they conceded 6 a game, and we don't.

Agreed. In fact I think he'd do well at Arsenal. He's exactly the kind of uncompromising, nigh on unbeatable in the air defender they need. I've got no complaints about him or Dunne so far this season. It seems they've put last seasons aberrations behind them.

Collins or Koscielny

I know which player I would prefer ...

I'm bumping this.

Honestly, I know alot of players have been terrible this season, but Collins is the worst out of the lot. He's the main reason why we hoof. What's more shocking is the fact he's suppose to be good in the air right? So why is it that not so long ago he got beaten by a midget in the air?

He's one of the dumbest footballers as well. He sums up the headless chicken term. Where on earth was he for the first goal tonight against Spurs? And the second goal was lower than pub error.

It's not a coincidence that since he got dropped from Wales they've became marginally better both defensively and pass rate wise. Why can't we do the same? What's going on here? McLeish said he'll pick players on form, but that's another bullshit comment coming from his mouth. All talk to appease fans on stuff they want to hear. How much you wanna bet he'll be in the starting XI in the next game and the next game after that? I'm ashamed to see him wearing the Villa shirt considering he has a poor attitude as well who's robbing us blind. He should fuck off to the Championship already.

If you were giving individuals stick over tonight's performance, you'd have knocked your pipe out on others well before you reached Collins.

I would have said that's one of his weaker points, especially when competing for a goalkeepers cleareance into our half, Collins despite his height and strength generally gets beaten by the opposition striker.

As for Clark, doesn't he prefer to play on the left, so it would be Dunne not Collins he's in line to replace.

Collins has steadily got worse since I made that comment 3 months back. He and Warnock are big issues, Cuellar and Clark would be in my side for them tomorrow.

He's crap basically. If you're not totally adverse to MON and have limited time for the last manager, you can probably make a case than he polished a turd for a season or so. Unfortunately the current manager's turd polishing skills are sadly lacking

It was only two months ago ;)

Someone mentioned the danger of a Cahill situation arising with Clark if we're not careful. Ciaran deserves a go in the team in place of Collins. Both him and Dunne like playing left centre back is the only problem.

That's why you'd play Cuellar and Clark as a partnership ...
