Ethan Robson

Portsmouth and Oxford both want him, can’t help thinking we’ve dropped a bollock with him, surely he deserved a chance at this level

[Ashley In!!]

Nah

 

[Freddie the Greek]

Better than Dobson imo.

 

[Scotty 1978]

Better than Dobson imo.

He barely had a chance at this level

 

[Kenna]

If he signs for them and does well Donald will be out sharpish saying his agent played hard ball and it wasn’t Donald’s fault in the slightest

 

[The Beautiful Game]

Not surprised. Was worth a place in the squad last year and this. Unlucky with injuries at the unluckiest times as well.

Ultimately the decision to let him go is understandable but i reckon there’s a decent chance he’ll be above us soon.

 

[Longy]

Apart from Hull at home he never showed anything to suggest he should be in the team.

 

[SAFC7391]

Honestly not arsed, he’s never showed anything to prove he’s better than the bog standard midfield we’ve all ready got.

Think the lad has a bit of talent but he’s been shite more often than good on the rare occasion he’s actually been fit.

Would rather have him taking a place in the squad than Leadbitter. Academy players wouldn't count towards any incoming wage cap either, yet we're showing them the door right left and center.

In fairness, the wage cap comes in gradually with current contracts not really counting so Leadbitter isn't an issue in that regard unless we renew his contract or unless number of players in the squad is limited to 20, as has been suggested.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Better than Dobson imo.

Don’t think there’s that much between them, and Robson is quite injury prone isn’t he?

I’d be more annoyed if we let Embleton go than Robson.

 

[1879]

He'll go on to make a decent career for himself, another deemed not good enough and not given a decent run the team

 

[Tin Soldier]

Apart from Hull at home he never showed anything to suggest he should be in the team.

What has Wyke, Grigg, Dobson and Power done to be in the first team squad every week ? What kind of run has he ever had ?

 

[Billy Fish]

Good player who will continue to improve imo

 

[Billy Batts]

Apart from Hull at home he never showed anything to suggest he should be in the team.

Wolves at home, Boro away?

 

[Freddie the Greek]

There probably isnt tbh. I dont think Robson could have any less of an impact on the team than Dobson has mind.

 

[Thunder Road]

With the possibility of the squad cap and so many players have to come through your youth system it made no sense letting him go.

 

[Butcher's Coat]

Apart from Hull at home he never showed anything to suggest he should be in the team.

Bossed the midfield versus Wolves, last game of the season '17/'18 season.
And please don't come up with the shite that Wolves weren't interested that day.

 

[Scootsie]

There probably isnt tbh. I dont think Robson could have any less of an impact on the team than Dobson has mind.

In that good run last season I thought Dobson was one of our best players.
