Happy to proven wrong by this guy. His last few games have been far better, and is playing at a level I didn't bellieve he was capable of.

Good on you moods. Yes his best is pretty damn good, but we don't see it every week... I like his new found aggro/mild arrogance. He knows he belongs and won't take s*** from anyone.

Hard nut who does well when he can settle and compose himself.

He's just one of a number of players on our list who has too large a gap btw his best and worst...

At various times Roberton has looked like A-Grade play making back and at other times he looks like an unaccountable HBF that plays shorter than his height and can't hit a target.

His best is def good enough. He needs to be more consistent.

He seems to be enjoying a more defined role and the extra responsibility. He's about 24 so he should start stacking a bit more weight. He's an option for that third tall to support CArlisle and Goddard if he can continue to mature as reliable defender who can provide some bounce out of the back. Its why we shouldn't have both Demps and Fish playing as we don't learn about others on our list.

Working harder.

Had a lightbulb moment that he can do more than defend, and he enjoyed it.

He was very good and attacking when he first joined us, but then had that ankle injury. I think some are forgetting how good he was early on.


He is just getting back to what he was showing then.

Was just so solid and reliable, and then turned on the charm with a flashy mark and cracking goal. Love him.


Always loyal
