You'd think it would be simple eh, get rid of Robbie and bring in Maybury. Mind you I really cant think of many teams that have such bad right backs that they'd want Robbie in their team. Oh well, our loss is Aberdeens gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Maybury plays at the same level as he did for us, he will be a far poorer player for Aberdeen than Hart.

Karapidis at RB is a bombscare, do you remember the Scottish Cup game at East End Park last season when we brought John Armstrong on for him because of the fact he was such a nightmare, as for Tall he's alright at RB in an emergency, but he looks far more comfortable at Centre Half. Face facts there aren't many RB's in the SPL as good as Robbie and he's here to stay, probably with Elliot staying as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Ian Malcolm Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 He does get a lot of stick, some justified, some not, but when you actually look around the rest of the SPL right backs (not creme de la creme of fullbacks mind) there's not a lot better. Look at the alternatives we could have had - Petras (actually thought he may have come good but was on a hiding to nothing after his debut), Tall is a centrabck, as is Karipidis who has been very good since moved to his natural position, and Baras - well I thought he was pish. Can't understand why some people seemed to rate him. I missed Costa's one and only appearance, and Jason Thomson doesn't appear to be able to cut it. Robbie might not be the most rounded gifted player, but he's the best had in that position for a few years, its up to whoever comes in to prove otherwise.

Good one palllll!! :wacko::wacko: I wouldn't call Neilson a bombscare, I don't think he's a bad defender at all but is not what you'd call a very cultured right back to say the least. I look at him as a poor man's Gary Neville - solid in defence and one of the best clearers of the ball you'll ever see but devoid of any natural attacking or passing ability. One thing I will add to all this is that the overall under-performance and lack of confidence that the team has suffered from this season (primarily down to some archaic coaching methods which we've hopefully seen the back of) has highlighted the inadequacies of, in particular, both Neilson and Goncalves. The flip side of which is that when the team is playing with confidence and performing again the qualities of both players will be far more evident and the added confidence that they gain as a result would see their overall game benefit as a result.

Ivan Drago Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 i suppose on one hand its good we're trying to get rid of players before signing more, but he would have been a handy addition, and surely the fact that we got rid of Pospisil could have meant he could join.

redm Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Maybe it's just me but I thought I'd noticed a distinct improvement in Robbie's game lately. Perhaps it's just because he's been getting so much abuse that I've been paying him more attention but from an attacking point of view he's been involved in loads of our best moves of late. Always the same sort of thing, he takes the ball out on the wing...takes it past a few defenders up to the byline (or as near as possible) and has put in some rather nice crosses. Defensively he's still a wee bit dubious at times but so are the rest of our back line. He doesn't have much pace but he still terrifies me far less than Jose and his amazing whirling bionic limbs.

WeeToonJambo Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I'm sorry, I'm repeating myself here, but we don't need to sign a fullback to replace Robbie. We already have one. He's playing for the under 19s and reserves and is, in my opinion, better than Robbie already - Jonathan Brown. He's fast, gets up and down the park for 90 minutes, can tackle, pass and cross a ball. Unfortunately he doesn't have a long throw!! I've seen both playing for the reserves and, without doubt, Brown was the better player. I'd be interested to hear what other under 19, Reserves, watchers think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I don't think Robbie is the worst player in the team but he seems to carry the can on here for every poor performance that the team have. The boy from the under 19's may be up to the job, and if he is then I would be happy to see him play right back ahead of Robbie. However, until that day comes we should get off Neilson's case as he isn't the worst player currently playing in that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
