Robinson

Robinson

Love him or hate him, I'm so grateful we have players like him, a manager like AN and the owner.
Having watched Preston in the real dark times, what we have now in comparison is Barcelona.

Looking back I really do wonder why I bothered to turn up in the Westley era - truly dark times
 
He's class, Tom Ince cost £10m and I wouldn't swap Robbo for him.

Was saying it at the game , Ince hasn't impressed since he was the only good player for Blackpool , been stealing paycheques since then . As for Robinson he has come leaps and bounds since last season and especially the season before no longer is he pushed off the ball like a little girl
 
He’s improved slightly, still same old problems for me though, over hit passes, miss cued / scuffed / wayward shots, although the miss hit volley he hit went straight to Burke who scored !
How many times do you see Robinson throwing his hands up in despair when he’s cocked up ?... loads,

Aye. Same old Robinson for me, some good passes and did try to track back at times but beefed up? Still pushed off the ball too easily and shooting was erratic again. His miss hit shot that spooned over to the right did allow Burke to score mind. Burke has the composure Robinson lacks. He managed to miss the target completely with a header from a few yards out that I'm pretty sure any other player would have hit the target if not buried it. As Farmboy says he knew that was poor.

No better and no worse than usual in my opinion.
 
You are quite right...Ince probably cost more than the whole of our team...on yesterday’s showing I wouldn’t swap any of ours.

Inces first half performance was probably the most anonymous I’ve ever seen from a player
 
I really rate Robinson, he is a class act and is improving. Being hyper critical I’d say he sometimes wants one touch too many, but overall excellent and for me is really buying into the AN way.

I honestly think you watch a different game to everyone else. He put some very good crosses in yesterday, two in particular the Browne and Nmecha both missed free headers from. He had their right back on toast in the first half and was still our biggest threat in the second half.

It's complete madness. Game by game he improves yet he still gets picked out. The more it happens the more sure I am it is some sort or closeted racism.

Agreed. Definitely is from some of the people sat around me on the IP. A lot of the time he gets blamed when it isn’t even him losing the ball!

Yet no matter how many times Robinson cocks up he is still the main player asking and looking for the ball. He never hides away and is always looks to try things or create an opening.
Compare that to the winger in the other team - Tom ince cost 10 million yet I would much rather have Robinson. Was our main attacking threat yet again but people just pick on the negatives.
Stokes right back had a torrid time yesterday against Robinson but that wasn't help because ince is too lazy to track back.

No - it is nothing to do with the colour of Robinson's skin. Some people get overly irritated with the slightly erratic aspects of his play that do still persist despite the overall improvement in his game. His shooting can be a bit wild - a goal would do him good. I thought that he looked very determined for the first 70 minutes or so yesterday but seemed to tire afte that.

How do you know that there’s not a racist element?

The guy behind me on the town end hated Humphrey, hates Robinson and DJ, and was calling Nmecha useless after 10 minutes yesterday. Also made a snide comment about Fuller at half time yesterday.

Think there’s definitely some on the town end with certain tendencies.
 
One of his better games for us yesterday. He kept finding the space and was constantly asking for the ball. Struggling to criticise him for how he played and hope he keeps playing like that!
