I'll start by saying his been immense since he came in to the team but WTF is going through his mind there?? Absolutely ******* thick.

Instinct probably. He'd just got out of jail a minute earlier too.

Absolutely brainless, just unthinkably stupid.

Instinct to hit the ball with your hand? That ain't instinct it's sheer stupidity.

No idea what's he thinking, and he owes us one 2nd half after that.

Oh well let's hope Brentford do us a favour because we ain't scoring today

Gutted for him. Showed his inexperience.

Stupid error and very poor in possession which lead to the corner.

He made up for it second half, he was like a man possessed.

Can’t blame inexperience on deliberately handballing it in your own box. Moronic , set the mood for the first half

He’s a young player who’s been immense leading the defence in the absence of Tarks and Mee.

He will grow because of this journey.

A 5 year old knows not to deliberately handball it in the box. Inexperience has **** all to do with it.

Never said he hasn’t been good, but that idiotic hand ball put us 1 down and we never recovered

He literally put his fist towards it. Now I know we all do things in haste orvwhen we are nervous but Jesus.

The pressure got to the lad end off, now give him a break

A naive mistake of a top prospect who has played far more than he would have expected this season.

He needs an arm around him from the fans, not getting smashed.

Mistake made, we move on.

He’s been brilliant on the whole but sadly his second half performance can’t make up for his stupidity in this instance.

If you can’t criticise that kind of mistake then what can you?

He’s a top player, and he’s he’s young, but nothing makes you do that. I’m not saying we would have won the game had that not happened , but it certainly put us on the back foot

He's been excellent and will be brilliant.

He made a stupid mistake. shouldn't have given the throwin-away cheaply just before it, either.

He is someone to build a team around. Will he stay?

I'm not criticising him as a player I just cannot fathom why he put his fist towards the ball. I guess when our brains are frazzled we all do weird things. Gutted for him tbh.

We didn’t lose just because of that error, of course it didn’t help, but it didn’t set the tone. We were poor from the off, very poor. We didn’t actually start to play until they scored their second.

Let’s not stick blame for that defeat on a hugely promising youngster who has been fantastic for us. We need to build our squad around the likes of Collins, next season.

Absolutely disgusted with the comments having a go at a young lad. I'm guessing some posters are drunk!!

He's going to be a very important player for us next season. He's the real deal.

Absolutely. He will dominate the Championship - if we keep him.

Who’s being unnecessarily harsh?

He made a mistake. We have made loads this season. His mistake hasn’t taken us down, poor results all season have.

He’s a great prospect and needs support not criticism.

Who are you? and as far as I know I've never been banned. Get a grip poor fella!!

He's been superb for us, today doesn't change that in any way shape or form.

But we didn't get relegated because if him.

Silly Mistake, but he worked bloody hard to try and rectify it. He'll learn and grow.

Absolutely fantastic player and attitude. If we had 11 players as good as him we wouldn’t be anywhere near the bottom 3.

Silly mistake but he looks like the best right back at the club

It was supposed to be sarcastic a response to the too ‘harsh’ comments

I really mean to say that all the players are

Pathetic excuse!!

He was incollinsolable at the end

Chin up Collins, now help us get promoted at the first time of asking.

Apartment giving away the pen and a couple of shaky moments further half he was immense today. I hope Roberts was watching him to see what an attack hing fullback/wing back should do

He's forgiven.

Going to be brilliant for us is that lad.

Such a shame. There was a nervousness running through the whole team in the first half and Newcastle knew this. Collins panic handball just after he’d unnecessarily tried to shield the ball in the six yard box just before were the clearest signs of this.

Pressure does strange things.

Will be our captain, he’s the real deal, no blame on him, I’d give him a 10 year deal if we could.

Wasn't just Collins tbf, we played like headless chickens today.

A great signing and a very good players
He put others to shame today with his efforts.

A number of nieve mistakes for us this season, but he has done more than enough to substantiate himself as a player with a bright PL future.

He won't be with us for long.

Thought he looked good enough to play in midfield today.

I suspect the handball was maybe a brain fart partly caused by Collins not recovering mentally from the initial poor error in possession that led to the corner (even though it was then his sharp reactions to clear after Pope's save).

I'm also happy to give the lad a pass given how he played second half, and the fact he was against one of the league's sharpest wingers in ASM, in his first PL game at right-back. I know he played RB a bit for Stoke but I can't understand that decision at all. And as much as Collins improved after the break, taking off Long and moving Collins and Roberts back into their normal roles surely made more sense?
