Boris Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 We'll be better when he's back in the side. Good news. I'm no fan of Neilson however since he has been injured I can only concur with your comments Coco. Which means I have either under-rated Neilson or his replacements have been spectacularly poor.

Genghis Khan Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 WOO HOO!! Long live " The Tackle" The fact that a defender, who has been at the club for 10 years, is known for 1 tackle - albeit an important one - says it all for me.

jambos are go! Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Great News for the right hand side of our defence. Not so good for the left hand side because if previous experience is a guide all the opposition will be largely attacking down that side. Enough said.

Generic Username Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 It pains me to say it but I'd not crumble if Robbie came back in at right back. I'd feel a lot happier with a defence of; Wallace, Berra, Karapidis, Neilson. Rather the Polish lad (who's name escapes me at the moment) or The Egg was playing in the defensive midfield role. Maybe when he is fully fit and in contention for a starting 11 place we might see the return of players playing in their proper positions... ...or not.

Genghis Khan Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Defence is better with Robbie in it. Fact. Well, the stats would actually back that up - we finished 8th last year with 'The Tackle' playing for almost the whole season. I would concede that he's marginally better than what we've been playing at RB - a raw youngster and a converted midfileder - but IMO he's nowhere near good enough. As soon as he's back in - watch the number of threads rocket on here and people in the Wheatfield Stand should get ready to duck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like John Robertson been known as "The Goal" Hmm,just like one of the greatest defenders of his generation being known for one tackle,Bobby Moore.

Charlie-Brown Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Let's see if he is any better under the new manager if he can dislodge eggert, think he will be away soon unless he accepts a new deal on less money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I think you've under rated robbie. For example you say Jonsson has done ok; yet robbie will come in and improve the side. Yeah, what I mean is though that when Neilson has played I think that he is poor. Although Jonnson has done ok, he hasn't looked as solid (or perhaps I mean comfortable in the position?) as Neilson but when Neilson plays he does my nut in with his three touches to control the ball before hoofing upfield. I suppose what i am really saying is can we buy a purpose built right back please!

Alan_R Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Not a huge robbie fan but my opinion echoes that of some of the other posts. Defence will be better when robbies back, never thought i'd say it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraggle Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 At the end of last season I thought that Robbie would be away to someone like Killie. I also thought that it would be no great loss, and that we would bring in fresh faces to bolster our incredibly weak squad. Shows you what thought did!!! Now I hope Neilson gets straight back ino the RB slot and adds a bit of experience to our lightweight backline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acey Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Hmm,and you would know,the very fact that Banks save is still spoken about should say all there needs to be said about it. I play in goals twice a week, so yeah, I think I know enough. Watch it. Ask yourself, "Where would the ball have gone in had Banks not saved it, and where would Banks end up?" The ball would have gone in, past his shoulder. That would go down as poor goalkeeping. Anyone would expect their keeper to save that header; putting it over the bar was great, but he didn't need to. If he'd pushed it around the post, it'd go down as a decent stop, but no more. People (like you) have just bought into the hype because it's been shoved down their throats that it was the best save ever. It wasn't. ...Oh, and at 6:53pm, Neilson is still a terrible footballer.

Aye,okay then. No one said it was the best ever,but when even the great Pele has a good word to say about him then he must be at least a bit good. My whole argument is that Robbie will for ever be remembered "for that tackle",so what he's in very good company in the being remembered "for that.........".

Charlie-Brown Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I think Robbie will improve the team. Not his biggest fan but also not his biggest critic. I think it says a lot about the current squad/team that we miss him. Yes we have nobody to baloon it down the touchline and out of play, nobody to three touch control it before hurriedly passing it forward carelessly or being tackled, nobody to make charlie brown wonder how on earth he got kept on when scott severin, grant murray, kenny milne, andy kirk, roddy mckenzie etc all got released......apparently he is a very nice guy though and his effort and attitude cannot be questioned.
