Robbo would score more than Ugbo given the chance to play as a 9.

My option of course.


Not sure Robbo could take the physical stuff usually dished out to a No 9 Norms.

I love watching Robinson but you have to back the manager. I'd be gutted if he left but if he's not in the manager's plans what can you do?? Also, Colwill is clearly a talent but how has he started so few games? He's not contributing enough! Knowing us, Colwill will go on to become a £20 million player!! :D

I don’t think it’s gonna make a blind bit of difference if robbo gives it absolutely everything he’s got and more because bulut simply just doesn’t like him ,it’s been obvious since bulut came here . If robbo goes in January he’s gonna be a huge miss

I think the gaffer already has a January target sorted and Robo is on his way out

Think I was correct then - in layman's terms Bulut thinks the pair of them are lazy b*starts!

I don't think it's often that you get creative forward players who also run their nuts off defending and closing down (like Siopis).

So you're telling me Bulut is happy with the shift Ugbo puts every time he plays or even Grant for that matter.

I think we have a fairly conservative manager here who champions graft and 100% discipline over individual skill and risk taking.


You've been consistent with saying Robinson is an asset to us.

What you haven't been consistent with is the question whether he improves the team.

I don't believe he does. I think the manager is right.

He is great going forward but we need 11 players to fight for the team and Robinson doesn't.


There’s plenty of comment over various match threads and WoL articles along the lines of “we were getting nowhere until Robbo came on in xyz minute of the game” and we’ve seen the same comments applied to Colwell and Tannaer and blatant evidence of this in the QPR game. It changed completely the moment the 1st of those 3 came on. And continued to improve as each of the others came on the pitch. But as everyone agreed, it was too late. So, if it was too late why not introduce them earlier? Say, at the start of the game?

He’s never been the main man here Warwickshire, Cedric, McGuinness and Sory were the main men last season. And I only ever saw passion from him, to us and to his team mates. You can’t have a complete team of industrial players. You need someone who is looking for and able to create chances otherwise we’re just a team of defenders and chasers. He’s one of a few players we have who actually move off the ball to create space or take a pass. And I appreciate the opposite view that you can’t have a team of creative players. Has to be a blend, not just one type or another.
If Ugbo is better than Robbo, let’s say we measure it by goals scored and assists over the same number of matches, before Robinson was injured. As Ugbo is playing in a better team than Robbo was last year. Whoever wins that stays and the other is sold.
I’ve even started saying maybe Robbo should look to move on in January to save his career as his skills dont appear to be what the manager or a number of fans here, want.

I thought he done well yesterday when he came on. Chased more than I have seen him do anyway.
Maybe it's the kick up the arse he needed

Ugbo has a thankless task he runs all day long , He chases down the keeper making him kick it long , narrowing the angle down he's obviously been told to do this , robbinson seems very lazy without the ball.
