VillaChris Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Collins was never great. I think the reason why he didn't look so bad in his first season is because Dunne was in exceptional form and was covering for him all the time. Yes agreed. Dunney baring that cup final blunder was magnificent that season, he made the PFA team so pretty impossible for anyone alongside him to play really badly.

Ironsid Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I once heard someone give S. Teale the nickname of "Thud". I think that mantle's been well and truly passed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your saying that Dunne is crap and is no longer able to cover for collins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villanfromluton Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Collins has been awful for a good while now, but seems to be absolved of blame. Either put Cuellar there or put him right back and Clark in the centre, might be a good idea against a team that will let us play football as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbr600rr Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 in a strange way..i can or dont mind clarke making the odd mistake as hes learning.,however collins is not improving,the same mistakes from last year are coming the the fold this season from collins. i think aston villa would be a better aston villa with clarke over collins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanfromluton Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Clark is a talented lad who has the right attitude, agree he will make the odd mistake, but would rather him displaying the fight and effort we want from a Villa player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrees Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Collins does have the weight of expectation on his shoulders though. He is now on the third successive manager who expects him to be the main playmaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanfromluton Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Its all very well saying about his last ditch tackles, most of the time it is because of his shite positioning. Whole herted, but piss poor IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted November 26, 2011 Moderator Share Posted November 26, 2011 Having read the article on the OS about the defence I'd put my money on him starting tomorrow. Sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 The Swansea boys will love an ex Cardiff defender playing a howler against them and Collins will probably oblige! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
