This lad is the dogs Balearic's, and he's going to be top notch.

Okay he went a little bit of a walkabout and missed his challenge on the halfway line at one point, but on 90-ish minutes he kept up with Antonio for pace and took the ball off him.

Still plenty of time to develop, but he looks like a modern day centre back who's not afraid to get stuck in either.

I think he's superb.

Agree, been an excellent signing and looks an outstanding prospect.

Super player. We need to tie Mee down!

He's a great player. At times he can be a bit wobbly but he's been thrown in at the deep end and coping well.

I've said it before but I think he'll be like Michael Keane was for us in that 15-16 Championship season.

Collins, just like Keane did, needs to develop a bit more upper body strength and a better ability to read the game, and when he does he'll be a top player no doubt.

He'll be an excellent foil for Ben Mee next season.
Hopefully.

This fella is f***ing brilliant, no two ways about it.

Forget his goal, he's just brilliant and is/will be the best centre back out of the lot over the last 10/15 year period.

He’s got a cool head for a youngster. Hopefully we can get Mee signed as I think they’d be a cracking partnership.

Tarkowski and Maldini at the back. What a pairing.

He's better than Maguire, Mings etc already. He is going to be immense for us next season; god knows how good he will be in a couple of seasons.

He’s growing in each and every game, not just in his performances but in his confidence and communication. Top quality performance tonight.

We’ve been blessed with some really, really good centre halves over the last decade or so.

Great Dyche buy. Mee will be good cover for the present 2.

He has come into his own since BM injury .
I do think Ben Mee is showing another of his strengths by helping to prepare the team.

Will make us £50m within the next 2 years. He’s an absolute Rolls Royce of a player.

He'll go right to the very top imo, has the pace required to play at that level.

Brilliant displays, brilliant player. Shows himself to be a well-grounded lad, eager to learn from Tarky and Mee. Legs, hearts, minds. Collins seems to embody our passion.

So question if Ben Mee was fit would you drop Collins for the Watford game ?

Mee is in his best position for our fight to stay up, that is to assist MJ in getting the team ready for the next game.

Don't forget Coady, regular England squad member, who was the worst centre half on the pitch today. (Incl when Kev Long came on.)

Ben Mee won't play again this season unless we are safe last game and they give him a send off due to no contract offer

We’ve been fortunate to have seen some brilliant centre halves at the club in recent years and this young man could well turn out to be the best of them.

Another reason Dyche was sacked and lost the belief of the players was how he couldn't wait to drop Collins imo, same situation with Cork.

He's been brilliant and he is going to be a huge player for us. Right though that he has been behind Tarkowski and Mee.

I see in Collins just how Tarks was with Ben and Keano ... biding his time ... fantastic player full of commitment when he has played ...

Gotta love him 👍🙂👍

A lot of credit to Mee and Tarkowski, who guide Long and Collins.

Collins has been immense and is a very able footballer.

I also wonder if Tarkowski is having 2nd thoughts, now there is more fluent play.
