Jake Robinson- Times up!

[The Truth]

120 games 13 goals, Is this football league standard or Is this worth keeping?

I'd say what a waste of wages.

 

[Napper]

if he has to go then there are a lot that should go with him.

Never going to be quality week in week out as he is no kid anymore and would of found consistency by now . IMO still worth a few sub appearances though as does occasionally have something in his locker which changes a game. Some players we have have never shown anything other than being shit

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Squad player. Do you happen to know what wages he's on, then?

You do love plucking your facts out from Wikipedia. The information is slightly false.
He has scored 21 goals for the Albion from 130 which is pretty average but considering half the time were subs and from the wing that isn't terrible.

between 1 in 6/7 for a player coming off bench/ winger is a decent record.

21 for the Albion , 4 for Aldershot.

I looked into this before, and I think over HALF of his appearances have been as a sub.

Not to mention he has been used as a winger for a long time now, and not as a striker. Therefore it's not a priority for him to score goals from out wide, as much as it would be if he was used upfront.

13 League goals though, from 121 league games. Over half of them starts. Nowhere near good enough im afraid, bottles too much to make it in the pro game. His goals for Aldershot/cups are totally irrelevant really.

 

[Mendoza]

His time is up, otherwise some of our fans wouldnt have spent 5 minutes singing to him in the stand like yesterday.

He never fulfilled his potetntial, and Adams obviously doesnt rate him, so loan him out/sell him on, if we are not going to play him.

He just bottles it too much to make it as a player, could have been good, but maybe he was built up too much by this very website and maybe that led to his downfall

You say that his goals in the cup are irrelevant yet you are probably one of the people saying wins 5 draws 8 losses 2

So make up your mind whether the cup games are important or not...

They aren't important - and if you incude the cups its only 3 wins 10 draws and 2 loses. The penalties games go down as draws.

I'd have happily traded the Man City win for a drab 1-0 win against Hereford.

4 wins, actually. Southend [L], Crewe [L], Barnet [CC], Northampton [JPT]

Oh i agree with you, i'm not big on the cup games at all. Thought you were the one saying we've won 5 lost 8 etc..

 

[Da Man Clay]

Ah yes, had forgotten about Barnet!

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Personally, I've seen 6 games, and am yet to see ANY wins.....

What has Robinson done so badly to warrant this sort of view? I really don't get it.

Ok, he doesn't score goals, but for someone who plays out wide and has made most of his appearances from the bench I'd say that is to be expected.

Ok, he's not the most consistent, but if he was he'd possibly be at a higher level. He does at least, when ON form, show talent, skill, and creativity. That's more than plenty of others who don't even manage that and get away without a hint of criticism on here.

Ok, he bottles tackles. Well so did Paul Brooker, but he didn't do too badly. Look in the Premiership, there are plenty of 'bottlers.' In attacking positions you can afford to have this. If he was a defender or central midfielder I'd have a problem with it, but who gives a shit if he can't tackle on the WING?

He should at least be on the bench right now, and having witnessed Anyinsah's 'performance' last night I would be tempted to throw Robinson in the team.

Paul Brooker who is now at Chertsey?

Name one player who gets away without a hint of criticism on here?

Spot on Thomas! Spot on...

I think largely it is hype backlash. He got overhyped (apparently, I wasn't on here when he first got in the team), fair enough. He's obviously not the reincarnation of Peter Ward or anything but I think he has something to offer. I'd certainly rather have him on the bench instead of no forward whatsoever.

When on form is the key, he just hasnt been for some time now, and thats why he is not featuring. In my opinion and that!

there were a few times this season where he has come on and been given loads of space to run at isolated defenders, and he just refuses to do it. He always opts for the 50yard crossfield pass to Cox.

I think his issue is he doesnt believe in his own ability which is undoubtably good, so when he doesnt believe in himself, he doesnt do what he is good at and he looks useless at this level.

Down to the manager to make him believe??

Sam Gargan + Steve "Delap" Cook

You are correct, how many times do we see him just pussy out of a challange? It's getting rediculous, however i'd prefer to see him on the right rather than virgo...
