Fantastic tonight albeit he was never under much pressure. But he is a player, can’t quite believe he is only 23. Will be sold for a huge amount of money within the next 2/3 years..

He’s brilliant. I suspect we will make a fortune on him ultimately. What a player. ??

Everton allegedly want 62 million for Branthwaite with Real Madrid sniffing about, Collins must be worth 162 million going by that

Agree.

Ireland Captain as well.

Wolves must be kicking themselves. At one point they were banging on about having our pants down.

Surging run in the first half was like prime Beckenbauer. This guy is quality and Wolves must be horrified at what they have given us for 20 odd mil. Will go for at least triple that.

Agreed that he has come really really good but I do wonder who will be smart enough to come in for him. On the one hand, great that we can probably keep him for longer but also strange that our players often don't get the attention they deserve

It’d be good for the coffers if they got more interest but it’s good that we get to keep players for a while rather than them getting snapped up after a season or two.

We've sacrificed defensive efficiency for attacking output this season which will depress the value of any centre backs in most people's eyes. I actually think this makes Collins' performances even more impressive but that won't be the widely held view. Another example of BFC zigging while everyone else is zagging

Probably coinciding with the game where it seemed the more he tried the worse it got and he gifted them goals :fishing:

They seem to forget form is temporary, class is permanent

Liverpool or Real Madrid, i suspect. He's destined for the very top. Hope we can keep him for a long while and he reaches it with us ?

is the above to suggest that SOME football fans have wonky opinions? Perish the thought!

To be fair to Wolves (the club that is not the fans) Collins' sale was part of their strategy to ensure they stayed within the FFP rules at the time....
Unlike those c@nts Forest, who as we know, rode roughshod over them, and are now reaping the benefits, following the paltry penalty they got....?

Really not sure what Collins was doing for Villa's goal. Just strolling back like it was someone else's responsibility then engaged too late and deflected it past Flekken. Collins has had a great season but that goal was down to him.

I'll defend him a little - he cut off the easy pass across goal and put Watkins in a position where he only had one option to shoot from an angle at the near post. It was unlucky today - Flekken saves that many time out of 10.

Agreed but Flekken was beaten by the deflection, not the original shot.

I was pretty much level with the incident and have watched it again several times since. My view hasn't changed. Collins has to race out to engage Watkins before he gets into the penalty area. There are at least two Bees players behind Collins also racing into the penalty area to cover the square pass to another Villa player arriving in the box. As a defender you have to deal with the imminent threat not what might become a secondary threat.
I'm particularly peed off that we had to lose to a goal by Watkins of all people.

Hands up in apologetic mode to the North Stand at the end walking round tells you Nathan is owning the mistake of the decision he made and not putting any blame on Flekken.

It happens, a wrong choice, a deflection that nutmegs Flekken. Small margins indeed.

Yep, that’s how I see it. Looked strange in real time when he didn’t go towards Watkins and the highlights I’ve seen seem to back that up.

Doesn’t change anything in terms of him being one of our best players this season. Just a small error.

Sorry but that is ridiculous. We’d have been screaming for a red if it had been the other way round.

My opinion which I am happy if people disagree with is it was a desperate tackle which was late, high and dangerous with potentially excessive force being used. Lucky just to see yellow

I disagree

By Henry Winter this morning:

I’m surprised that more wasn’t made of Nathan Collins’s challenge on Youri Tielemans. The Brentford defender is having a very good season but he risked endangering the Aston Villa midfielder with his studs-showing challenge, skimming the top of the ball. The 23-year-old was booked for the foul on Tielemans, and was fortunate that Jarred Gillett did not deem it worthy of a red. Tielemans was fortunate he wasn’t injured.

Nope because it was a good tackle not even a yellow

I understand why you disagree that it was a red card type challenge but to say it was a good tackle is a bit of a stretch, no?
 

Nathan Collins

It was a shocker of a tackle, born out of pure anger and frustration at the way the game had gone and the referee's appalling performance, Wissa had just been clattered right on the edge of the box and nothing was given, you see the red mist descend on Collins as he piled in and he was lucky that the contact was not as bad as it might have been
