Roberts

He will come into his own. I felt him and Tav got in each other’s way at times last night. He looked better early on when Spence was on the right. Tav and Roberts wanted to pick up similar positions.
 
Thought we were getting a bernardo silva type player got bernard matthews. The lads absolute turkey!!

Flair player with no control, no wonder NW didnt fancy him, desperate.

maybe football is not the sport for you? have you tried watching darts or tennis?
 
We are a funny bunch. We come on here all during the window and beginning of the season saying we need a tricky creative player who can cause problems and openly admit they can frustrate but they are worth having as they can prove the difference and when they have a slightly quiet game we come on and bash them and demand more. Roberts is a good player and we are a better team and squad for having him here. I can’t wait until he brings some magic to the team, because he will.
 
I do agree, he needs to learn when to play the ball and when to beat his man or take on the shot. An example of this was when he cut inside and hit the shot with his left foot when we had players in the box. He needs to learn that in those moments he's better off playing the ball.

I'm still confident he'll be an important player for us though. Some of his link-up play with Howson was impressive.
 
In a normal season these critics would be sitting amongst us and someone could help them understand what they are watching.
 
Not sure he’s totally suited to playing that high up the pitch... needs to player wider or deeper (Oooo errrr)

I’d ideally like to see him playing behind a front 2 in our 532, but that midfield 3 of ours isn’t getting broken up any time soon

whys that? because i don't share the same opinion as you.
in his 13 games for us, i've seen a couple of bits of decent play. i hope he gets better and is a success but for me is a bit of a passenger who doesn't know when to release the ball, when to cross or when to shoot. he's 23 not 18.

Someone mentioned above its not his type of game when a team has 11 men behind the ball. surely this is when you need your flair players to create??
 
He was played out of position up front.
His first half wasn't great but he improved in the second. He got his head up plenty and played a couple of great balls. Disappointed to see him taken off. Him and Tav are cracking little players.
 
I wasn’t all that fussed about him coming back initially, but I am glad he did, given our transfer business. He is the only player we have who offers something different. He will probably have more games like last night than tearing a team to shreds but thats the nature of his style. In a tight game he might only have to unlock the defence once.
