Are you serious. Have you seen the joy and pride when others score always there first pointing to them in front of the crowd like a proud dad.
What I think you mistake his attitude for is he gets frustrated with the players sometimes because they no where near his level. Because he is a true winner and wants nothing less. If they all had his winning mentality we wouldn’t have been relegated.

He is a must stay for me. First name on the sheet when fully fit.

So because he smiles when we score he's first on the team sheet??? As stated his work rate is very poor, he also missed almost half a season through injury. If he's that good let's see who comes in for him and would they pay the wages we were paying him.


Lol. He more than smiles he’s worked with them and he sees his work paying off also he’s was our top scorer and only 5 other player in the league scored more than him. Imagine how many he would have got in a team that match his level of expectation and ability. He over achieved with a bunch of powder puff players. ?


I agree on his day is class and a lot of people were singing his praise when he was scoring. Nothing against salech obviously but when he came in Robinson was scapegoat for strikers

Everyone moans about how bad our play was how slow, how un creative how predictable etc etc. yet somehow when our top scorer by a miracle reaches 12 goals he not good enough for us in league one.
So of the post I red about him make me think in the star in my own version in the Truman show and it being done to increase audiences. Lol.

I don't think anyone doubts he's 'too good' for L1, and probably a lower half of championship type player - but he's clearly not a fan fave. Why is that?

He has alot of very quiet games. 12 goals relative to the rest of our shite last season is excellent, but it's 1 goal in 4 over his Cardiff City career and less than that at West Brom before then back a few seasons to Preston (after a few low goal returns at Sheff Utd) where we also went 1 goal in 4.

The reported £20,000/week is inflated, specifically in L1. Can you really see him going 20 goals a season, something he hasn't ever achieved? I don't. Salech on the other hand, I'd wager that he'd out-score Robinson in both leagues.

I think the difference between them as I see it is that CR waits for things to happen & then reacts, especially if the ball is played to him & is just out of reach then he waves his arms around & points to where he wanted the ball to be while Salech tries to make things happen & attacks the ball and when it's out of reach he has a "good try, better luck next time" attitude.

That's the difference as I see it.
