I make you right on that. His role is one that can be easily overlooked until it's not being done.Collins is an understated player, who doesn't always get the recognition he deserves.

For me you could see what Sercombe was lacking - never settling in a position damaged his growth. He seemed light weight and would shy away from tackles. He relied on more experienced players to help him through games.Liam was playing regularly in League 1 at a younger age than Archie is now but never kicked on to play at a higher level. Going to see how Archie progresses and hopefully he can go on to have a better career than Liam.
I had a similar view to this until recently. I have changed by view in light of feedback I have heard from a talent scout who has been very complimentary to Archie. Fingers crossed we can keep hold of him just a little longer.He is doing well. Still a bit over-cautious for my preference, too many circular motions on the ball, and often looks down at the ball rather than up for the colleague, through the awful winter pitches everywhere don't help. Back to his best after a period before Xmas when he was below par.
Personally I'm agnostic as to whether he will make it higher than L1; it took Grimes 4 or 5 years to be a Championship standard player, it's a big jump that Wheeler has made (just) but Sercs and Harley didn't. Hope this is pessimistic, time will tell.
A move to a top end League One club could be a good step up. David Wheeler finally got a proper chance in the Championship after winning promotion from League 1 and hopefully the same will turn out to be true for Christy Pym. Jayden Stockley also seems to be doing well in a struggling side so will be interesting to see what he does next.He is doing well.

While it's always disappointing when youngsters move on and we don't get to watch them anymore, Archie has earned the chance to test himself at a higher level; and if he does move it will just mean more opportunity for Harry Kite and Will Dean next season.I had a similar view to this until recently.

True. This makes us the Club we are.While it's always disappointing when youngsters move on and we don't get to watch them anymore, Archie has earned the chance to test himself at a higher level; and if he does move it will just mean more opportunity for Harry Kite and Will Dean next season.
Archie is already Championship level.
