Mr Callum Robinson

After Preston, West Brom and Southampton I couldn't make today but Robinson was poor (modern parlance shite) in all previous. Sounds like similar today.
I reckon the bloke is on his way as he is bottling it 100%. Typical of a player wanting/expecting a move.

He had a very strange 45 minutes. Spent one injury break arguing with Siopis and at least twice he was called over to the sideline and given a talking to by Bulut who obviously wasn't impressed by what he was seeing and hooked him at half time.
For whatever reason it's just not happening for Robinson this season. Maybe he's not 100% fit, maybe we're not playing to his strengths, maybe he's struggling with the role he's being asked to play, maybe he can't be arsed.
Whatever the reason, he's been ineffective and I wouldn't be surprised to see him move on although as he's supposedly one of our highest paid players wages may be an issue for any interested clubs.

I think he is a forward, but not a centre forward, and Buluts system requires a target man of which we only have Etete who is in the embryonic stage of his career at that challenging position.
I believe that Bulut wants a goal-scoring midfielder in that attacking central midfield role, not a forward who doesn't win the ball and keeps hold of the ball too long. It is noticeable how quickly Rubin CAN get the ball out if a pass is on whereas CR would just run. He doesn't have the work rate required in EB's system to be a wide forward.
I am surprised EB hasn't tried him as a centre forward seeing as the others are so poor, but perhaps he can see he doesn't have the physicality for that EB in that position.
The transfer market is recovering a bit so $1.5 mill isn't a lot to get another forward in your squad at Christmas, so I can see us selling him as well.

Bulut must play him at CF, it's his best position.
Fast low balls from wide and mainly balls through the middle and he will score. That will be playing to his strength.
He's still our best CF at the club, he's better than Kion + Ugbo but just not in form, I got faith in him still.
Regarding number ten the only option is Rubin until Rambo is back, Adams should be given some minutes at ten just to see what happens in the mean time too.
Up the bluebirds
