I go back and forth on this a bit. It’s been obvious from the start that Robinson is at best a very average, limited defender who brings an element of experience and leadership and at worst he’s a complete liability who lets his emotions get the better of him leadership-wise too. It’s always felt a bit needs must with Robinson. Clearly Wilder had no plan to start him this season. But after Souttar’s injury he had to play. I get that and I can see how it’s a squad game and, right now, Robinson is probably a better option than anything else. But it does feel like it’s time to improve our “needs must” option at centre back. Robinson has proven a liability so many times and I really don’t think we can afford to be rolling him out much longer, especially if we’re promoted. I recognise we don’t have stacks of money available but surely at some point we can find someone better for that cover.
