Not sure about that right now.
Tonight we've done in defence something we've not been doing much this season...shutting a decent team out.

You’re not sure that Tarkowski is a better player than Collins?

If you want a clean sheet you play Collins.

Another excellent game tonight for Nathan Collins

Awesome again. Ready made to replace Tarkowski. Great business bringing him in

Excellent. Will be a very good player as Dyche said at the end.

It's not necessarily about the individual player

Had a good game but wouldn't say he was awesome. That accolade goes to Taylor.
If Tarkowski is off, lets focus on finding Collins's partner for the future.
Collins is left footed, and shouldn't be hindered playing on the left.

thought he was superb again seeing as he's still new to the league, our team, and only 20.

A young Shackell.

Presume you meant isn’t left footed? To be fair, Tarks/Mee have always played left when he’s played, which I think is right given their experience.

Do think we need a good young LCB to cover Mee though. A left footed Collins would be ideal!!

Didn't see the game last night was out for a meal and a quiz night ... just watched it on catch up on Amazon ... if Tarks goes in January we definitely have in NC a worthy replacement.

Shackell????????

In the past we've had way more clean sheets with Mee and Tarky than with any other combination. We conceded regularly whenever Long played no matter who was alongside him. Collins is a real find because he seems to have slotted in brilliantly.

Will Dyche play 3-5-2 ? NO

Yes I'm not sure what I was thinking. At the minute we have 3 right sided centre halves. Need another lefty. Hill, Fleetwood is right footed.
