Luton v Fulham

[Grassy Noel]

You want to get rid of Robinson for Doughty?

Yep. Give me a footballer over an athlete any day of the week.

[Somerset Fulham]

Fair enough!

If we fail to beat Luton it will be a really bad end of the season for us and confidence will be low for next season.
We need a good performance and a few goals to cheer us all up.

Furthermore Muniz needs a couple of goals if he is to start next season as our 1st choice striker, since his purple patch he has faded away.

I have not seen any evidence of fading away only evidence of a poorer supply to him. Remember how Metro would attack the crosses of Joe Bryan but not bother going after Robinson's? Watch Doughty's clever crosses at Luton and think what Muniz might be able to do with them. A change at left wing back is long overdue.

I agree with most of what you're saying. Robinson's weaknesses are in many ways holding us back. But on the other hand, his weaknesses means that bigger clubs will never be interested (and no, I don't believe any of the rumours, there's no way a top4 club would want a player with Robinson's awful crossing/passing).

This means that even with his obvious shortcomings he is probably the best LB we can hope to retain for more than a couple of seasons. Long term stability is important, and THAT's the main advantage with Robinson IMO. Of course, his positioning (as well as his crossing/passing) is rather poor so the moment his pace is gone he will be a disaster. But he is still capable of doing a decent job for us, even though he can be extremely frustrating to watch.

Luton will be up for it because they'll want to give their fans a good last Premier League show. They will be much more motivated than us.

Luton may be all but officially relegated but anyone who has seen them play will know they will want to go down fighting.

Just as they will start like a train we must put in a shift, get on top and as professionals why wouldn't we?

Unfortunately I've seen it all before so many times, there's a chance we will click and dominate but frankly I expect us to fizzle out and let them bully us to defeat.

Sorry I don't get why that should have a bearing on next season, players leaving/coming in, will change the dynamic, and depending on what players coming in, may actually improve any perceived lack of confidence.

But think what effect this has on Muniz. If he continues to get such poor supply then he is likely to look for a job elsewhere. Everything is a matter of opinion and I have always rated Muniz highly so for me this would be a sad ending. Personally speaking, a left back who can clear hurdles and can triple jump into a sandpit means nothing to me.

You're clearly no fan of Robinson. I get that, but to suggest that Mitro didn't bother 'going after Robinson's crosses' is pure fantasy to suit your anti Robinson narrative.
