Interested in fellow TEf'ers views. Title: Meaningless Poll - About Mr Roberts Post by: fatbury on Monday, November 27, 2006, 09:10:25 can appear lazy .. but as long as hes scoring who cares?
Title: Meaningless Poll - About Mr Roberts Post by: Piemonte on Monday, November 27, 2006, 09:20:27 He is lazy, no doubt about it.
However if he keeps scoring when he "comes to life" then I'll take that. Title: Meaningless Poll - About Mr Roberts Post by: janaage on Monday, November 27, 2006, 09:29:55 Not sure what the fans are expecting though, a man sprinting round every squared centrimetre of the pitch, scoring for fun.
This is div 4, and for div 4 he'd be an asset for any team. Title: Meaningless Poll - About Mr Roberts Post by: Lumps on Monday, November 27, 2006, 09:48:54 Depends what you want doesn't it, goals or lots of effort and enthusiasm.
A striker...........................or Andy Mutch Title: Meaningless Poll - About Mr Roberts Post by: Piemonte on Monday, November 27, 2006, 09:51:09 Quote from: "janaage" Not sure what the fans are expecting though, a man sprinting round every squared centrimetre of the pitch, scoring for fun. This is div 4, and for div 4 he'd be an asset for any team. fair enough we arnt going to get faultless players at this level or they wouldnt be playing for us. But it would be nice to see Roberts challenge for a header every now and then - And thats what frustrates me -it would make him a better player. Title: Meaningless Poll - About Mr Roberts Post by: janaage on Monday, November 27, 2006, 09:52:45 Roberts does make me laugh when the balls played over the top, the defender rises like a salmon and he just does that "turns with his body" thing. 90% of the time the defender wins it, but when the balls played to feet and he runs at the defence he's quality.
Title: Meaningless Poll - About Mr Roberts Post by: STFC Village on Monday, November 27, 2006, 11:45:25 Well, he's definately lazy, so i'll be voting that way, but if he keeps scoring goals i couldn't care less
Title: Meaningless Poll - About Mr Roberts Post by: janaage on Monday, November 27, 2006, 11:47:17 This poll sucks, I should have asked if you're happy with his contribution to the first team.
Title: Meaningless Poll - About Mr Roberts Post by: STFCBird on Monday, November 27, 2006, 11:56:43 Lazy yes, but scoring goals let him get on with it.
Title: Meaningless Poll - About Mr Roberts Post by: STFC Village on Monday, November 27, 2006, 12:06:13 I liked this article about him

Title: Meaningless Poll - About Mr Roberts Post by: magic8ball on Monday, November 27, 2006, 12:55:46 I've voted for 'Not'. But lets face it, we all know he can be lazy.
The thing is, he is both lazy and an asset for the team, so I believe a 'Both' option should be there.

Interested in fellow TEf'ers views. both! Title: Meaningless Poll - About Mr Roberts Post by: sonic youth on Monday, November 27, 2006, 14:26:48 this is a rubbish poll...he's definitely lazy and an asset to the team.

Title: Meaningless Poll - About Mr Roberts Post by: DV on Monday, November 27, 2006, 17:37:42 Give him a few weeks and judge him again when he is playing 'the sturrock way'

Title: Meaningless Poll - About Mr Roberts Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, November 27, 2006, 19:29:54 In the spirit of the man himself, I'm going to be too lazy to vote
Title: Meaningless Poll - About Mr Roberts Post by: herthab on Monday, November 27, 2006, 19:36:22 If he continues his scoring run he can be as lazy as he wants......
Which is a lot, lazy bastard. Title: Meaningless Poll - About Mr Roberts Post by: Tails on Monday, November 27, 2006, 23:38:21 He's not lazy at all IMO.
Title: Meaningless Poll - About Mr Roberts Post by: SwindonTartanArmy on Tuesday, November 28, 2006, 09:41:02 Not answering the vote, because it doesnt really cover what I think of him. He may not work as hard as peacock, But he is scoring for fun at the moment. Similar sort of thing to Kris Boyd, who I used to not rate becuase of his work rate, but then, you cant argue if a striker is scoring goals. Matt Le Tissier was the same, wandered around the pitch the whole game wanting everyone to pass to him, but wasnt willing to work for the ball, but then would pop up with a gem of a goal (he is still a cunt though)

Are you turning into STFC Bart? :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: Title: Meaningless Poll - About Mr Roberts Post by: red macca on Tuesday, November 28, 2006, 09:46:51 alot of roberts game depends on his speed,its no good running around like a dickhead then being too fucked to do anything.on saturday when he played the one two with zaboob it was his speed that made it possible to pick the return up,im not comparing players but henry does the same he will save his energy so in the 92nd minuite he can punish teams with his pace(well last year anyway)
