Wild rumours and shit stirring is not helpful to the the team or supporters


Precisely.

So did Ollie Tanner but L1 will still be a level above him.

Robinson loves being a professional footballer—the hair, the clothes, the car, the house, the socials, the attention—but I don't know what he offers nowadays.

He is an old-school fancy Dan striker, whose reactions and physical ability to be in the right place are not what they were. He has always been championship-level, not the same level as Ralls, but like Meite, Willock,NG, El Garzi, Ralls, and Rambo, he won't be plying his trade in the championship next season. No one is going to come in for them.

I love passion but there is more to it than that, otherwise Ollie would be at PSG.

The issue I have with Omer Riza is that, with the exception of a few years in Türkiye, he has no playing experience outside of the EFL Division 2 and the majority of that was with a Cambridge United side that was heading towards relegation to the conference.

Insofar as management is concerned he managed a Cheshunt side who finished mid table in the 8th tier Isthnian League Division 1 and then a Leyton Orient side who, in 2017, dropped out of the league.

He is inexperienced as a player at Championship Level and inexperienced as a manager in the Championship also. And worrying he doesn't have the experience in Division 1 either.

I expect Robinson will leave the club in the summer along with at least a dozen other players in the squad.

Personally, I think he is one of our best players who could do well in another Championship team with ambition.

He has more skill and trickery than most, if not all Cardiff players and is generally a good goal scorer.

It's difficult to score many goals in a team who don't create many chances, but in the odd game where we had created chances such as the Swansea home game, he proved what he is capable of.

We simply don’t create enough chances to make any of our strikers look good .Our crossing of the ball is horrendous and that is the main problem could play as a two with Salech if they were provided with a decent service and a formation to suit

Saw on the oxford message board earlier about going for CR if Cardiff go down. Be a mistake that.

Robinson feeds off the good times and in stadiums with the crowd rocking.

That's why he stepped up against Swansea and why he had a few games where he did very well in the PL for WBA.

But when you need players to scrap, he's not who you'd go to. In fact, we don't have anywhere near enough players who will scrap like you need to in a relegation fight.
