The amount of abuse Jack Robinson gets is shameful

[Varkanoid]

Good choice lets face it the options are limited. Half the squad is new. Pretty sure we will see more gritty challenges this season.

I put this on the 'confess your unpopular opinions thread' though felt it worth repeating here on a thread of it's own:


'1. He only cost £500k
2. He's a back-up player
3. He's a back-up player being asked to play out of position
4. It's not his fault he's picked and that we don't have better options.
5. He's not been great, but not terrible either, and his great piece of skill against Everton last year got us a fantastic win that we should be grateful for.'

To add to this, anyone who was at the Peterborough game after his mistake would see that he really cared and he showed great character to have a decent second half.

Contrast to how Brewster has been treated, with so many making excuses for him, the fantastic reception he got after scoring against Carlisle etc.

We should not expect much from Robinson at all. Even when he was last in the Championship at Forest he was hardly top class for this division.

Do I think he's ultimately good enough for us for where we need to be now and in the future? No, and stating so is not abuse. Do I think he tries his hardest and his best? Absolutely. The fact that we need to play him is the club's fault, not his. The fact that he was signed for us is the club's fault, not his.

Some of the comments on here, Twitter, Facebook, shout-box, has been absolutely embarrassing. I struggle to understand it. He's not punched one of our own fans or anything (which even that wouldn't justify the abuse), or ex-Wednesday etc.

We as fans, can and must do better. If he's reading this, which I doubt though not impossible, I'd say that the true Blades are behind you.

Near the door mate

 

[FMBlade1]

I get that his form has been poor and he's not at the level that we need, but its disappointing to again see the level of abuse/disrespect shown towards him.

Yes criticize his mistakes by all means and state the above as I have done, but let's try and be measured and polite in how we go about it.

 

[FMBlade1]

Farewell Jack.

He was one of our longest serving players (not his fault) and based on what I saw (not what was rumoured) he always gave 100% despite his flaws.

Hopefully he'll more appreciated at his new club.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

The new start will probably do him good. I will certainly welcome him back to the Lane though I don't envy our players being skittled by those precision tackles.

Everybody's entitled to their opinions just like you are if you don't like what you read then simply don't read it!

Wasn’t the original post from 2021?!

 

[CarlMcBlade]

The abuse he gets from us will be nothing compared to what he’ll get at St Andrews when he eventually gets found out.

 

[FMBlade1]

Thing is, which I didn't understand, a lot of people based their commentary on him on rumours which they have heard from other people.

If someone inside the club tells you something directly and you believe it then that's fine and fair enough, but believing it 100% because someone put it on the forum because it matches their dislike of him makes little sense.

 

[Blackheath Blade]

Never deserved some of the cruel and unwarranted criticism he got on this forum. One of only a few recent players who would run through a brick wall for The Blades.
No doubt another scapegoat will be targeted now he's left so I wish him good luck at Birmingham.
