Very impressive for a relegation-battling team and a little under the radar!

Except he doesn't run his arse off at all. He was screaming at his own players during the first half because the ball wasn't where he thought it should be. He can be very lazy if things aren't going his way but he's totally different once he scores.

If Bulut had shown the same faith in him last season we might have made the playoffs instead of persisting with Etete and Meite.
He is our best striker by a mile. He did it the first season until he got injured and proved today he can do it in the big games.
That first goal today is ridiculous weaker foot across the keeper superb goal.

Wow. You’re a bundle of laughs. Finding negatives and moaning on a day like this.
No wonder we are where we are.
Enjoy the win and great performance mate.

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize having an opinion different to yours made me worthy of your abuse. It doesn't mean I'm being negative, but you need to go ahead & pull your head out of your arse because one good half of football doesn't make him a world beater.

Everyone entitled to opinions mate
Mine is, I think he’s quite unappreciated. I watch him a lot as he seemed to get a raw deal on here and I hadn’t noticed why. He covers a lot of ground every game and under Bulut we missed his closing down up front when taken off. Which cost us goals and points.
I genuinely don’t recall him him screaming at team mates yesterday, but I did see him telling them where he wanted the ball. Which I think every player should be doing if decent passes are not coming through. It raises standards.
He’s expected by us and the club to score goals, and rightly so. Therefore if he’s playing himself into positions to go on goal or lose defenders, give him the ball properly so he can concentrate on doing what’s expected of him.
Either way, he scored 2 yesterday and I see his contract finishes this season.
without yet having a new contract, we could see him leave on a free. Just like a lot of previous players we paid fees for under NW. he’ll certainly be in demand with at least 10 goals from open play this season.

Yes they are.
No idea where you were watching the game but he did it a couple of times, which he's allowed to of course, but to me he seems to expect every ball to be placed where he wanted it which seems to usually be on his foot so he doesn't have to put effort in. Thought he had an awful first half but was a world beater in the second which was fantastic to see but half a game won't change anyone's mind about him. I think his head dips way too fast a lot of times when things don't immediately go our way rather than getting stuck in like some.
I'm sure we would all love to see him end the season on 20 goals and be a roaring success because that would mean we got out of trouble but I'm not holding my breath. As someone else said, is he playing better because it's a contract season? Who knows, maybe it's because of the new guy coming in & he sees light at the end of the tunnel.
Like I said, half a game won't change my mind about him even if it was a great half. I put him down as my man of the match & long may it continue.

Stan_B wrote:I was actually looking at the Championship stats last week and even before his goals this weekend he had one of the best goals to minutes played ratio in the league. He now pretty much has the best stats at a goal every 124 minutes. To put that into context the top scorer in the league, Borja Sainz, is on a goal every 153 minutes.
The key to success this season is keeping Robinson fit. We also need to give him a new contract as there will be plenty of other teams who will if we don't.
