VILLAMARV Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Sounds about right AE. Seems to be a straight swap for Freeman, playing just behind their front 2 in the hole from what I can gather on the radio. They do the wing back thing down Ashton Gate. but basically 2 holding and Robinson floating Sound unlucky to be 1-0 down at half time. Robinson has drawn a few fouls and linked up ok with Bryan their Left wingback. Had a pop from long range early on. But Bristol all the posession. Leeds hit them on the counter and dived for a penalty in a nutshell so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted August 19, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Ouch, 0-2 down now are Bristol. Cheers. Pleased to hear that Robinson is getting some game time though, it's a shame when players go on loan and don't get a look in so fingers crossed he can keep in and around the starting XI which can only be good for us.

VILLAMARV Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 yeah 2-0 down, another counter attack and Robinson just got subbed off for Reid a more orthadox CM on 57 mins. Loan watch out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) i'm a big fan also, just thought this was his breakthrough season and that he'd already shown enough at Preston to be given a place in the squad. Agreed, I thought the same, I thought he'd get an opportunity here this season and have a similar impact to Grealish but it wasn't meant to be, he can still make it here though definitely Edited August 19, 2015 by sir_gary_cahill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Seems Reid did pretty well after he came on, setting up a goal in their 2-2 draw. Good comeback for them though they should never have been 2-0 down in the first place. Lifts them off the bottom of the table albeit on goals scored. 89th minute goal and an equaliser on 90+5 apparently. That'll probably see Callum back on the bench on Saturday.

mikeyp102 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Anyone know why he's not playing much on loan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Not attitude again surely, Bristol City are hardly winning many games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted January 5, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 5, 2016 He has joined Preston on loan again. Hopefully he gets games and goals in the Championship and can do a job for us next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 bits I saw in pre-season he looked a bit raw but with bit of pace and quite good movement. We could do worse than play him off Gestede when Ayew is out like he was last game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villanwesty88 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I'm sure ~I read somewhere today that Robinson, Sellars and Calder are out of contract. We ought to give them new deals. Our squad is going to be wafer thin and these guys could come in and give us options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you to some extent but I think that these players need regular first team football in order to develop. They aren't kids anymore and I don't think u21 football would be beneficial to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we let Calder go that will come back and bite us, potential to be a good player imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sellars and Calder could go and get League 1 or 2 experience next season and then we can re-evaluate. It just annoys me letting them go for free and then we see them become good players (e.g Jordan Graham). I think we should loan them and then at least get a fee with future clauses (like Arsenal did with Afobe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure if he has anything about him to be honest. Seems quite slow, isn't quite a striker, isn't quite a creator. Not sure what he does.

If Gabby is done and if we lose Ayew what options have we got left? Just Gestede and Kozak. Every time I've watched him he's looked a bit raw but full of energy and effort.

We do have Hepburn-Murphy also and no doubt at least one other young forward showing promise. If we want promotion next year, having Robinson in the squad ain't gonna help in my opinion. A better option might be to loan someone who is simply better and more reliable to score goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has Hepburn Murphy done compared to Robinson? I'm all for giving youth a chance hence why I think Robinson should be in our squad. He has played more football league games that Hepburn Murphy at this stage. Personally I think Hepburn should be in and around the squad too with a loan spell or two next season.
