ScottishAndDutch Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Perfect fit. As unstable as the rest of the team. Link to comment
Russell Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Kelle Roos? More like Kelle Shite at crosses/shot stopping/kicking. Link to comment

I don’t disagree with that in slightest but them being replaced & leaving Robson in place wouldn’t work. First issue needing addressed is the obvious/short term one. Link to comment
GeorgeStreetReds Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 This guy really is the Dutch Langfield. Was at individual fault for both goals last night, including the disgracefully VAR'd off first St Johnstone goal. The sooner he's off the better, concerning that we even tried to offer him a new contract. Link to comment
Footballs coming Rome Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Loves his line more than Pete Doherty. Afraid to come off it. 1 Link to comment
Tyzo_1903 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 He's not been awful but he is prone to an error here and there. Probably a 6.5/10. Certainly not worth giving a wage increase to. Link to comment
RUL Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I think he’s been pretty solid and I’m not sure we can expect afc to source a competent replacement 1 Link to comment
ericblack4boss Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Goal keepers are no where near as good as the were before the last 10 yrs, Back before then they were coached to come collect crosses, , to catch ( remember all those yrs back they caught balls?) Balls , And when they came for crosses the mantra used to be if you don't get the ball clear out the players. I remember watching Henry Smith coming for crosses with his knee up , a great tactic to disperse the attackers Link to comment

Gtf, I thought Leighton was great at coming for cross balls the keepers 20 yrs ago were far better at it. I blame the demise of Uhslport, Reusch,and sondico the glove manufacturers. Proper gloves for proper keepers Link to comment

davierobb Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 the worry is his inability at crosses has been apparent from day one. His inability to keep out a poor shot at his near post for the wrongly disallowed goal is more of a concern. If he won't come off his line, cannot start quick attacks, cannot kick out and if we add unable to save shots my mother in law could keep out........ he also has started doing an annoying calm down gesture we we begin to voice our displeasure....gonnae nae do that.

lambpoon Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 i just canna believe we’re involving jimmy leighton in the same conversation as Roos… granted his defenders were better. they were better than the current lot when they were asleep tbf…. young folk 🙄 Link to comment

Now is not the time to allow Robson to hide behind shitey excuses Exactly, if Cormack hadn't scrimped and saved and brought in a decent manager, then we'd be in a position to better judge the squad (which I actually think should be capable of 3rd place, given how mediocre Hearts are). 1 Link to comment
Millertime Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 We haven't offered this clown a new contract, surely? Absolutely God awful and the worst kind of god awful - swanning about as if he's the man Anthony Stewart style AWFUL 1 Link to comment
englishred Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 As much as i think he's taking too many risks , he's obviously been told to play this way. Link to comment

What, hit crap kicks out 40 yards, across the deck to the opposition? Come out like an idiot and be beaten to the ball and concede? He's the WORST kind of crap player- one that swans about with completely misplaced arrogance 2 Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Waits far too long to play the ball. Opposition are back in shape every time before he gets the play started Link to comment
Tord31 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Will be happy to see the back of him. Just sign the motherwell keeper. He is ok. We might aspire for better but lets not fuck it up Link to comment

His kicking which has never been good has got even worse.Surely that could be improved on ,on the training ground. Link to comment

Was surprised he got the gig in the first place and even more surprised he was kept on once Goodwin departed. Link to comment
