Re: Huddersfield Fan - Opinion on Roberts please

same as most decent wingers, if he could be arsed and the game was going for him he is brilliant. Doesn't get involved enough for me but most wingers of his kind don't - he is a line hugger.

He doesn't rely on pace to get away form his man unless he plays more central as a 2nd striker but he can and will trick his way past the defender. As for can't cross!!!!!! the guy crosses deep from the line without having to angle or shape his body - he must be cripple footed or something. That tends to fool dfenders a lot because he doesn't need to be actually past them before he whips it in.

When he signed for Ipswich he was a revelation for a few weeks and various pundits including Bobby Robson were raving about him. Then something happened at Ipswich and his confidence seemed to go. It will always be a struggle from there onwards.

He'll play well for the first few weeks but after that it is up to the fans and the club to 'love' him to continue to get the best out of him.

Please boo him as often as possible and encourage him back down the 62 to us
