I’ve had a guts full

[Ruislip White]

He seemed to discovered a new way of method of messing up crosses yesterday.
Rather than hit the first man as usual, he managed to overhit them beyond everyone.

[Hatch007]

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 thelatter

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

As others have said, Castagne can play LB and has even done so at International level for Belgium

I have been complaining about this situation ever since he was vying for a place with Joe Bryan. I have never even been in support of his defensive qualities. He cannot head the ball clear to save his life, it just goes softly up in the air. Yes he makes interceptions but rarely do they result in ball recovery. He is like a pinball machine.
He could never cross a ball but at one time he knew that. Do you remember how he used to run down the wing with the ball and then pass the ball all the way back to Tim Ream on the centre circle? Someone then told he could cross if he really tried. Old dogs and new tricks.
There are one-footed players around but they have a 'cultured' foot and I am afraid he does not. It always pains me to point this out because he is a nice decent bloke and a super athlete.

[I Ronic]

Unfortunately have to agree with all of your comments Noel. While Tim, Calvin, Josh, Alex, Sander and Oscar are transitioning into AA's style along with the new players, he's looking vulnerable.

I remember at the beginning of his career Ryan Giggs used to consistently beat his man to the by-line, only to overhit his cross - horribly 🤦

That was quickly ironed out of his game by Fergie.

Unfortunately Robinson is 29 years old ☹️

Whilst many of the points mentioned here are valid since he came back from his early season injury the team's results have improved.
Overall the team's pace and break aways improve when he is a starter.

Totally disagree with this. He's had some of the best right wingers in his pocket for years. The way I've seen him completely nullify Salah, Saka and Mbuemo when he was on fire was some of the best defensive full back performances I've seen in a white shirt.

Granted, his crossing is absolutely diabolical and he doesn't seem on his game at the moment but putting a right sided Castagne there to replace him is not the answer for me whether he has played there for Belgium or not.

[Jims Dentist]

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.

But Fred had a hell of a shot

I have a distant memory of Fred playing in midfield at home to BHA on a very wet boxing day.
He played really well in our win.

[Jims Dentist]

Castagne at LB would weaken our RB position.
Also Castagne could not cross on the run with his left foot.

[The Cravenette]

I think the Coventry players soon worked out how bad his crossing was and allowed him all the space he wanted, knowing he would not cause them any problems.

As others have said, it is amazing that his crossing has not improved over the years. It was truly horrific yesterday.

I wasn't necessarily advocating Castagne should play LB, I was merely responding to KCS' comment there's no other option at LB with Sess suspended. TC has played LB for us before and didn't look completely out of place.

I agree Castagne might not cross on the run with his left foot but that's no less effective than Jedi's poor left foot crossing in recent weeks.

I don't agree, however, it would weaken our RB position when Kenny can play there. Defensively he's the best full back in the club although Castagne might be more effective going forward.

I'm sure a poster on here recently put up a comparison of TC's and Kenny's attacking stats in terms of assists per number of games.

[hongkongfulham]

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.

Absolutely, Sess is one of our own and whilst people dont think we should pay attention to sentiment, isnt that kind of why we love fulham? All players are a risk, id rather walk that path with (in my opinion) a very good player who can inspire the guys coming through as well

[Mr White]

I'm done watching this donkey
How no one in management can't see that this guy is a liability is beyond ridiculous.

[Luka]

Been saying it for years......he's an athlete not a baller.
League one at best.

[Lambo]

Absolutely shocking tonight, looked completely disinterested, no composure, surely we have someone better playing in the U21s
