Would love to see him slotted into a #8 role, one of our standouts from last season and deserves the chance. Glad BBM seems to have finally broke the ambiguity around him and we got a positive update.
Also Fish dealing with a minor knee issue and may be a Saturday doubt, but Lawlor looking good.
Standout, really? Not sure I would agree with that.Quote:

I don't mind this approach if it gets the bst out of him in the long run.
We've had managers in the past pushing Rubin Colwill to do more in certain areas and things like his work rate etc have increased massively
Nobody stood out last season. We finished bottom of the league and were relegated. Robertson had a few decent games but he wasn't consistent. The last goal he scored was on 1st January.Quote:

Hasn't BBM said he sees him as a 6.
He was a disappointment last season but he could thrive in the League below.
Hes got to offer more than Turnbull who is just making too many easy sideways and backpasses.
Me too. I have no problem with BBM's approach at all. Let's face it, if Robertson hasn't been doing enough in training to put himself ahead of the likes of Wintle and Turnbull in particular, then he's not going to be much use to us anyway.Quote:
