Ruben rates robbo

[Frank the tank]

Keeping him on as captain

First strike there for new manager
Must mean we havent got funds to bring anyone in and anel is being offered around

 

[RetfordBlade96]

For fuck sake!

 

[Aston max]

I think he's probably a good motivational presence in the changing room, never disputed his "pashun" ( sorry ) ,just watched his ability wane.
I think we all know Anel and bindon will be first choice, unless we manage to recruit another CB.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

We barely have any other option

And how likely is a young manager to come in and strip a senior player of the captaincy when he's certain to be staying with us this season?

The best chance Sellés will have is if he brings in his own captain - ideally a CB

 

[dazzlingblade]

You deduced all that from our club captain wearing the armband in the second friendly....top work

Or it means something else completely

 

[Thrice]

Robinson and Bindon started both games together. I do wonder if this tells us more about Anel's future with the club than Selles rating Robinson.

Would hate to lose Anel. I think him and Bindon would be class together.

Literally anything.

No i deduced it from his quote after the match saying Robinson will start season as club captain

Wasn't much work involved ..for me

 

[Pollingtonblade]

We need rid of this if we intend doing better.

Well that's put my mind at ease

If all it takes is a throwaway comment about a ceremonial club role to have you worried about club finances etc, that feels like a you problem

Of course it worries me ,playing Robinson was wilders blind spot
Now the new guy is carrying it on

Robinson is not a captain ,hes not even a centre back
If hes playing him there it's because he has to

But he hasn't said he's playing him. Just that he's club captain

 

[Frank the tank]

Hes playing him and bindon together ,he's starting

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

He was captain last year, but when Souttar and Anel were fit, he didn't play. It doesn't really mean anything.

 

[Carlton Blade]

Hes playing him and bindon together ,he's starting

He's picked the team fir the first league game already?

 

[Nick Jansky]

But he hasn't said he's playing him. Just that he's club captain

Yep, he’s the senior pro in the squad. Certainly doesn’t mean he’s going to be a nailed on starter. I think someone’s being a bit of a fanny here.

 

[Blades1971]

Forget his pashun. He is a liability. All teams know that. So does Joe Bloggs.

 

[Frank the tank]

Guess he has yeah

"Club" captain

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Ruben Selles on if Jack Robinson will be United captain at the start of the season

"Of course. He's one of the most important players and in terms of players managing themselves, he becomes one of the leaders in the dressing room. So that's not been a difficult decision."

 

[steve26272]

Unless I’m mistaken, he was club captain all last season, however soon as Souttar got in JLT was benched till HS got injured

means nowt, Robbo probably is a good leader, but I don’t expect/hope to see him much

 

[Davalon]

Arblaster was captain last year but is obviously injured.

Robbo was vice captain and apart from the first couple of games, was reserve and would have remained so had Souttar stayed fit.

Too early to judge anything.

 

[Stretch]

I rate Robbo. He has the odd mistake in him, but most players do. He is a solid enough Championship defender and doesn't deserve half of the shit he gets from some of our fans.

That being said, despite his uncompromising nature, I don't think he is a leader.

For 3 years we've been hoping we get shut of Robbo, he's Div 1 at best,always always always a mistake in the buffoon, please to God lets not have him starting this year.

Yes back up OK, but sorry if he starts its a huge sign that these owners are SKINT.

Might be wrong here but I'm sure Robbo was Club Captain last season, while Arblaster was Team Captain, meaning he'd wear the armband whenever Robbo wasn't playing.

Similar to how Egan (Team Captain) captained most games in the 22/23 season but Billy was still the Club Captain.

 

[DifferentClass]

Altogether now:

SELLES AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHT

Making him captain doesn't mean he will start. He didn't last year and Blaster got the armband.

He's not amongst the best at this level, but he's a perfectly serviceable CB, but I agree that he isn't captain material.
