Getting rid of Jack Robinson

[Tongeincheek]

Obviously buzzing off my tits with today’s result, but Jack Robinson still managed to piss me off to the fullest with his weekly impression of a drunk bloke staggering home from the pub, and accidentally finding himself in a Blades back four on the way.

So, what would be your preferred way to make sure he never darkens the doors of Bramall Lane again?

Personally I’d be torn between telling him the season has been called off for covid and then sending him on a “training retreat” with an uncontacted tribe in the Amazon.

or, alternatively get a volunteer crew together to do the training ground renovations, and whilst there brick him up in the bogs.

 

[Bladesman]

He was the weak link today. I never felt confident when he was on the ball and I think Wes and Egan thought the same.

 

[Camden Blade]

Dunno about putting a downer on the performance and singling out Robinson. I wouldn't start him but he was bought as back up and we're still light in central defence. What if Egan gets injured, suspended? We'll need him then.

 

[Yogi]

I thought he was a squad player in the champ/ league one starter I now don’t think that is the case. The money to replace him might not be there in January but this season should be his last for us

 

[ben1987]

All he had to do was head it into midfield and we don’t concede the equaliser. Could have cost us if we’d not been so dominant.

apart from the cluster fuck he did alright.

Ben Davies is obviously the regular in that slot so there’s no issue really.

 

[LJBlade]

I felt a bit for him today. Thought he was having a good game until the mistake and he looked absolutely distraught by it. As others have said, he shouldn’t be starting but he’s good enough for a place in the squad and he’s certainly better than he gets credit for on here.

 

[Weasel]

He should be used very very sparingly. Probably OK for the odd cup game but he's just not good enough. He is a bollock waiting to happen each game.

I don't dislike the lad, but he clearly ain't good enough. He wasn't even in Forest's team when we signed him (as a PL club ). What the fuck were CWAK thinking...

We have Davies now and hopefully we can start to bed the young Polish lad in as cover as and when necessary. Hopefully Jack the defence Ripper is out of the door in the summer.

 

[Argentinemanager]

As ben said apart from the mistake he did more than ok

 

[Gaini Blade]

A bad mistake but we could afford it. To his credit he put it behind him and got stuck in.

A sensible point, but I don’t want to suffer the chance that he plays if Davies is injured or tired.

So my third idea is to bundle him into the boot of Moose’s new lambo and then wait for nature to tale its course

 

[Frank the tank]

Played well second half but I don't even know what to say about that moment of arrogance that gave them a totally undeserved way back Into a game they had no right to be
Lucky for him it was academic in the end

 

[ChemEngBlade]

He was the weak link today. I never felt confident when he was on the ball and I think Wes and Egan thought the same.

If you're the opposition and looking at our back four, you'd clearly target Robinson as the weak link. Any player with pace or strength has the beating of him

 

[BigBed]

"GET RID NOW"

Exactly! They tried to as well but thankfully we were too much for them in attack.

 

[ChemEngBlade]

Exactly! They tried to as well but thankfully we were too much for them in attack.

Yeah, thankfully going forward we were too good for it to be a major concern. Against better opposition though I would worry

 

[Bladesman]

If he plays against the likes of Fulham then they will have a field day.

 

[Yan The Man]

Yes please

 

[B.Lade]

Other than the mistake he was fine. Like others have said, squad player, no more but let's not jump on him just because we feel the need to find a scapegoat even in a 6-2 win!

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Put his mistake behind him and did really well after that, excellent double header in the second half and was solid throughout.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Feel for the lad. He has never been and never will be strong enough to be a centre half in a back 4.
OK in a 3 or maybe as backup left back.

 

[Broomhall Blade]

Jesus we've got to have a scapegoat,
John Fleck rediscovers his form so step forward Jack Robinson.
We've just won 6-2 played the best football i have seen us play in years plus HMS Piss The League seems to be taking on water.
Just enjoy the Weekend.

 

[riselikeasalmon]

It's a team game, we won and he played his part, made one mistake.

Ask any one of his team mates if they never want him to darken the doors of the Lane again, I'd love to see that actually.

Glad you're not on my team, don't know how anyone can be pissed off tonight.

 

[ChemEngBlade]

If he plays against the likes of Fulham then they will have a field day.

Hopefully, Davies will be back soon

 

[HillmortonBlade]

He got blindsided, did he get a call from his team mates?

We need a better version of him. We need JOC back. A back four of

Baldock - Egan - JOC/ Davies - Stevens/ RND should be one of the best in this league.

I'd feel more confident giving Lopata a run in Egan's place with Davies at the side of him; primary ball winner too. He also has the time in front of him to learn from any mistakes, which in Robinson's game are embedded and going nowhere.

 

[LJBlade]

He got blindsided, did he get a call from his team mates?

This crossed my mind as well. Re-watching that situation makes me think that he didn’t.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

He terrifies me.

 

[Eza Blade]

Get rid and get a replacement or deal with a squad player that he is and spend the money you would need to replace him on Billy’s statue

 

[FMBlade1]

He's a back-up player, nothing more. Therefore I feel the scrutiny is slightly unfair and we should adjust our expectations accordingly, of course if he plays he's going to be the weak link.

Just have to hope Davies gets back soon and/or Lopata/Basham can step up.
