....what are your thoughts?

Mine have already been stated. He needs to start Saturday, we need to give him the ball and getting him running at the defence.

Christian Roberts running full speed in a forward motion towards goal is enough to trouble most defenders in this league.

Lets use him properly, not on the wing, not on the bench....but on the damn pitch up front...

Christian Roberts must start!!

Hear hear! I'd drink to that!  :beers:

Definitely. If not, I'd quite like to see Heath up front and Nicolau on the left.

Yep - he's an out of nothing player, something we don't have anywhere else on the pitch - except maybe Migz on a good day.

Who said no? :shock:

not guilty!

Player capable of a bit of magic really isnt he, Rory is generally what you see is what you get.

Roberts just has that bit of unpredictability

thats a good call about heath dude.

I'll go with a yes on that too.

I want to see the Christian Roberts again who played against Sheff Wed, Hull etc.

Nope I would persist with Cureton.

The boy will come good.

I agree with Yeovil.

But Roberts looks dangerous now, whereas Cureton might not come good for another 4 or 5 games - Roberts might get 3 goals in that period.

Goals by Roberts 2
Goals by Cureton 0

 8)

Anyway Cureton hasnt started the last two games either...

How much do you want to bet that if roberts does start it won't be up front.. :evil:

Yes, but on the wing.  Hows that for sitting on the fence?

I love Roberts, but with the players we've got currently I don't think there's room for him up front.

roberts is an impact player,  hes good for the last 30 mins when everyone is tired. When he starts he tends to look lathargic and can't be arsed, he still has to win me over to be honest...

He was a pile of shit against Wycombe when he started-good when he came on against Forest and Yeovil.Bring him on-but give him longer.

But hasnt Cuerton been playing up front!?  :roll:

he needs to start. he's been dynamite in a couple of games, whereas cureton has just not been at the races in almost every game i've seen.

Cureton has one assist to his name and thats it. :|

Roberts seems to lose interest.

But.....when its all said and done Roberts has scored goals this season.

The last two games he has looked good and interested, just under used and out of position.

He is an unpredictable player and just adds that 'wow' factor when he gets the ball, his pace is still electric.

The last two games we've looked more dangerous when he has been on the pitch.

Yes, he had a  crap game against Wycombe, who didnt?! but on his last 3 performances he deserves a start and could just be that spark we are missing.

But.....who is to say that Cureton wont score 3 Saturday.

Me....

Cureton has looked like scoring all season, where as Roberts has looked like scoring and has actually scored!

Cureton has worked hard with little result.

For me Cureton wants it more than Roberts and for that fact alone he should start.

When he scores on Saturday I will hunt you down and make you eat your words.

Last three games Roberts has been up for it as much as Cureton and looked the better player two.

If Cureton scores Saturday I'll be happy, but I really think Christian Roberts looks the most dangerous out of the two and we need all the attack we can get....

Me, he wont score 1 let alone 3.

When has Cureton looked like scoring this season? :roll:

Wierd how we see things differently. I think Cureton has been largely lazy and can't be arsed if the ball isn't perfect for him, he has picked up over the last game or two though.

Roberts looks full of running and has something useful, pace. But it has to be remembered that only coming on for 15 minutes is bound to look like he ran his socks off, he couldn't do it for 90.

On Balance Roberts should be given another start.

Yes, he seems to be next to Fallon in form, but seems to play better coming off the bench than when he starts a game. Is this because he covets the co-striker role? Give him a go, he's stronger and faster than the midgets, can pass and shoot well, and is hard to tie down. He is not happy on the flanks and wanders about anyway. Shakes and Nicolau are wingers aren't they?

i think that heath should start upfront with nicolau on the left, anyway i'm kind of a fan of roberts and when he's on form he's one of the best players we have, the almost comeback against oldham was largely down to him and o'hanlon's goal against forest came from his cross. i agree with the people that say he's an impact player but he needs about half an hour a game atleast

Robbo should start with Fallon FACT!

It makes sense  :beers:

Typo, should say hasnt....

Roberts is indeed an impact player, so give me the full 90 to make an impact, maybe two impacts....!!

Ahh but Thorpe made 3 impacts today, who's to say he won't on Saturday?  I'm a fan of both players, and would like to see both on the pitch, as well as Fallon.  

Roberts is a carrying a bit of weight, moody and often appears disinterested.

Thorpe is fit as...  :fag:  (but moody and often appears disinterested)

I'm going to start a Tony Thorpe Appreciation Society.  Who's with me?




*TUMBLEWEED*

I wouldn't mind seeing Thorpe start with Fallon, a hat trick is a hat trick and it's damn good whoever you're playing against.

Three Impacts, against Bournemouth RESERVES.

Say what you like about Thorpe, but he is a finisher, he isnt a creator he is a finisher.

Thorpe wont drift out wide pick up the ball and run at defenders, Thorpe wont skin a few players and cross a ball onto Fallons head. Thopre will not scare defences.

Roberts has the pace and ability to really scare defenders by running at, he can cross a ball damn well and is capable of beating a few players.

You have to remember created chances has been our main problem and I dont see how starting Thorpe will help us attack and create more chances.

Roberts has only appeared disinterested against Wycombe this season, as did Ttony Thorpe

Plus, the crowd loves Roberts, we chant his name when he isnt on the pitch, when hes stripping off in the dugout, as he is coming onto the pitch, when he is on the pitch and when he has the ball. He just lifts the crowd, which then spurs the team on. No one chants for Tony Thorpe, he doesnt raise the roof he doesnt fill the crowd with the anticaption Roberts does
