I’ve had a guts full

Of watching Robinson week after week ruining his team mates good play to get him into a perfect position to deliver a cross and he blasts it out of the ground, it's beyond ridiculous,I'm assuming the training staff have his stats but he just gets worse, if only 5% of his crosses found a team mate we'd be half way up the table.The guys got zero control or foresight but he can run.

A couple of occasions when he was in tons of space and he just lumped it, was diabolical,
So bad he's actually getting worse, I was going mental, can't tell if it's a confidence thing or just ain't got it, leaning towards the latter

Perry- I asked if he was getting worse in the Gameday Thread, it seems so...
I don't get it.  If I had the overall talent, to play in the highest league of a sport and there was one piece of it that I was weaker at, I would practice the "S" out of it and get better.  It appears to have never happened... 🤷
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most...

If Jedi can't cross why doesn't he just shoot - hard and low - at goal?
More often than not, the keeper spills it and we score off the rebound.
Might even solve Garcia's goal drought in the process.

I think a new left back is out next transfer priority along with a left winger.

His decision making and execution in the final third has been diabolical.

May as well not use him at all when he's playing

Been saying the same for a couple of years now, we do need a new LB as he is just no longer good enough

I agree, perhaps it is a confidence issue, he looks a different player and has gone downhill recently regarding his performances. He has never been a good crosser of the ball but seems more vulnerable when defending.
It is a cause for concern, let us hope he stages a revival as he has been a quality player for us.
He is only 29 and I would not want to lose him as has  still plenty of it in the tank, especially with his pace.
Nevertheless he is in danger of losing his place if he cannot get his act together and his previous form

I'm a fan of Robinson and have consistently been of the opinion that he's a better option than Sess in the LB position. His performance yesterday was significantly below par all over the pitch. Offensively he's so frustrating, getting into good positions, over hitting crosses and making poor passing decisions. He had so many opportunities to run at the opposition defenders yesterday, potentially drawing fouls, taking shots etc. He does this for his national team and gets the odd goal. As I say a really frustrating performance from him.

I would lose him tomorrow for an upgrade, there should be no place for making do.

Sadly we dont really have cover or competition which is another issue. Sess is the backup but can play various positions.

The lack of a solid competition has allowed the situation to fester

Is he the reincarnation of Fred Callaghan?

He'd get the ball, run through anything in his way, then deliver a cross, only you never knew where it was going to wind up.
Any fool can criticise, condemn and complain, and most fools do.

I honestly think Sess should be given a run as the starting LB as soon as he returns for Newcastle. He would massively improve us going forward and if he gets a decent run in the job I think his defensive side will only be slightly below Jedi's level. Overall, a significant improvement.

I'd lose anyone for an upgrade. Thats the whole point of football isnt it? You dont play players because you like them, you play them because there the best you got.

A few seasons ago he was amazing. But my god atm its awful. Its his natural foot and one of the key skills of a left back and i cant understand how its so bad

Robinson has always been poor when delivering his final ball IMO (pass, cross or shot) but his pace has been his main asset when on the ball and making recovery tackles.

What I can't accept is how a professional with all the facilities and back up at his disposal has failed to improve this basic but essential part of his game.

It's been too long now to hope he will improve to the level required (and he's getting worse) but for me his defending just gets him in the team over Sess at the moment despite Sess's goal threat.

Such a shame as a 50% improvement would be such an asset to the team.

But Fred had a hell of a shot

hopper

Silva learned how to utilise his qualities brilliantly, got him as close to the box as possible on overlaps and could cross it in low. He had one season where he was one of league leaders for assists. But that belies the fact that his crossing accuracy for anything from a longer range and requiring elevation is far from PL quality. In sum he makes up for it with his athletic and defensive qualities.

I'd say less than one in ten crosses he delivers is any good. They need to find a different plan so he's not attempting them so much.

Somerset Fulham

He was absolutely terrible yesterday, no question. 

He hasn't been the same sine that injury and I wonder if it is just going to take longer than originally anticipated to fully regain match fitness.

Unfortunately due to Sess getting his Red Card there is no other option

perry geyton

As I've always said, his legs are way faster then his brain,,,,,,

Overall I like Robinson as he brings something to this team BUT man his final ball yesterday and over the last few games has been absolutely atrocious
