Antonee Robinson Is Simply Sensational - Defensive Skills & Tackles
Pace to burn, and great anticipation, looks brilliant in this.
Thanks whitejc.
Thanks for putting that up.Looks the real deal.Loves a nutmeg when there on by the look of it?
He looks good, plays fast football, probably too fast for us.
The only stat I saw which did concern me a bit, but can be worked on is his pass completion of 60%, compared to usual players in the team, seems quite low and semi worrying as a defender. Seems like an area that could be exposed. I wonder why it's so low.
He does look good in this video though, although seems more of a winger in many ways...
All we need now is a RB that looks that good!

This is where stats can be somewhat misleading. In the video, he clearly makes plenty of runs at speed at the opposition. I would say that it is likely that under pressure to regain the ball he will be getting a toe in to pass the ball rather than accepting losing it and it is more likely that an opponent player is better placed to pick up a loose pass.
That is a guess on my part, but we will need that sort of player rather than another player passing from side to side endlessly getting higher pass completion stats but the team getting picked off by other clubs pressing more effectively higher up the pitch.

I'm 100% certain that a team without midfielders that come and fetch the ball (TC, Reed, even our wingers) will improve that % drastically. Also, they've been knocking it long to that big bloke up front so again that % will be skewed downwards.
Looks impressive. He and Joe both in tandem down the left could be quite useful.

Looks superb, although Youtube could make Emile Heskey look like a good finisher, so we'll have to see quite how good he is. He played well against us, I do remember him.
Interesting to see he's quite good at dribbling, as well as being quick. He could potentially play left wing, as one of the few players we have that can dribble past players. So gives us even more depth.
If he can do that with us our forwards must be waiting for the start of the season. Could be buy of the season.
Spoke well in his interview on the offal, did not sound like he was expecting to start on the bench. Him and Joe gives us serious strength at left back. Must sort out right back and left centre half.
Good start but we still desperately need a CB and striker IMO
Pass completion stat is a horrible one, would prefer someone with a 60% than 95%, usually indicates a more creative and adventurous player if the pass completion is lower, tries more difficult passes, obviously this relates to top class players and not some doughnut from the dog n duck. Or might just be s..t at passing!

Great pace and control but 1 assist is a poor stat. Can he cross?
Bryan got 7 assists this season reflecting the fact his left foot is an absolute wand.
Two very contrasting skillsets and playing styles, it seems.
We converted Ryan Sess from a left back to an attacking player on the left wing.
Hmmmmm....

Part of that is probably that Mitro is twice the player of Kieffer Moore. But I don't think he looks nearly as good as Bryan going forward in any case.
Looks like his passing is a little short at times but looks a talent and I'm sure a good investment.

Definitely do - lets hope Scott has made that clear to the recruitment team
Do we see him as a definite starter?
I would have thought he'll be cover at LB or energy off the bench to give some electricity down the left when needed.
Hopefully a good signing that will pave the way to off-load some of the current squad players who don't figure in SP's plans and then develop into a regular first-teamer
I would really have liked if Scott had come out when Robinson had been signed and maybe given us a little insight into how he thinks he would fit into this team.
He seems too good to be a back up option, but then again so is Joe. There are multiple options in how we can use both players so we can sit here discussing and guessing at every combination, but it would be better off if the manager could give us a clue here.
