He's still a very inconsistent player, although talented. A manager's nightmare to be honest. It was for Mcghee and it will be for Wilkins. It doesn't surprise me that he's got very little time so far under Wilkins.

Agree with you.Shame you don't know when to make subs correctly during play

I didn't go, which is why I didn't critisise, nor praise the player! Unlike Algie who has been to less games than even me and think he has the right to make judgements on certian players he has never seen play.

We all know what games you've been to as they appear on Google Video the next day!

I think Robinson should be in the starting 11 as he always looks lively and is dangerous.

Up front alongside Revell, unless of course, the MIGHTY MOLANGO takes centre stage

He did ok at Bristol when he came on,however like the rest of the strikers he doesnt look like ever scoring

Started three times and scored twice. He looks more likely than anyone, and also he looks more likely to create things.

well said that man..

He is shit and will end up with someone like Torquay just like McPhee did

I'm starting to think he is overrated myself

Bit misleading though, as certainly in one of the games he scored, against Forest, he was one of our least effective players on the pitch, the goal has his name on it but belonged to Revell's hard work and industry.

That's the thing - you will hardly ever get a below par game from Hart and Revell. With Jake, you get extremes of good play and frustrating ineffectiveness.

He's the only striker we have with a bit of pace who can mildly scare opposing defenders and at least LOOK like creating something or scoring - Gary Hart being an occasional exception to this rule.

Sometimes I don't believe what I read on this board.

Robinson is the best striker this club has produced from its youth ranks end of story.

What lets him down is his finishing which he will learn with experience and his tendancy to drift in & out of games.

People forget he is still only 19 years old and with the exception of wonderkids like Owen & Rooney and even Zamora, most strikers do not come of age until their early to mid 20's. Look at Andy Johnson.

He has also been treated unbelievably bad by Mark Mcghee and it is abundantly clear from the appearances made under Wilkins that he is still the most naturally gifted player we have at the club.

Yeah but he's had other games in which he has been fantastic and hasn't scored.

I think his apparant lack of consistancy is far exagerated. Revell was poor at Bristol City. Harty isn't always at his best.

He looks far more likely to create something than Frutos.

What appearances would those be then? McGhee started Robinson in 4 out of the first 7 games this season, Wilkins hasn't once yet.

I fail to see how Robinson was treated badly to be honest, he had is chance last year and fluffed it by missing good chances and bottling tackles

But he scored. All goals are set up by someone, barring freak or genius. He was fairly quiet in that game, but having an average game and still getting on the scoresheet in no bad trait for a striker.

That's the thing - you will hardly ever get a below par game from Hart and Revell. With Jake, you get extremes of good play and frustrating ineffectiveness.

No you don't, you know what you get from them, a solid shift of hard work but lacking in craft, penetration, pace, and threat in general.
I think you are exaggerating wildly about his alleged inconsistency, he hasn't had a poor game this season, even playing out on the left which is not his position, and being in and out of the team each week, subbed off regardless of performance etc.

What you get with Jake is pace, the will to run at players, and decent movement, something Hart or Revell don't offer but that is what scares defenders. I think if he is given a run of games up front alongside Revell we could see a good partnership develop.
