Re: Roberts
Had Lowton not been fit to play Roberts would have played. Dyche is just managing his subs bench to keep everyone involved. He's done it previously with Bards and Pieters where one was on the bench one week and the other the next
One of our weaknesses in recent years is having to bring players when we are desperate rather than bringing players in the squad and being able to ease them in like we did with Pope, Taylor, Tarks and Westwood.
Being able to bring in quality players like Collins and Roberts and having the luxury to ease them in and make them earn their spot shows signs of progress under Mr Pace

He is busy at the moment trying to convince Nandos to open a branch in Burnley .Hopefully they will make a decision soon so he can get back to playing football.

If fit, I would have no hesitation in playing Roberts in a midfield role against Spurs. We need to try something different.

Maybe we do need to resort to something, but that doesn’t mean just anything. I’ve seen suggestions to play Roberts and Lowton in CM today which is just bonkers regardless of how many games we’ve won this year.Vino blanco wrote: ↑Sun Nov 21, 2021 6:06 pmTwo wins in almost a calendar year suggests we need to resort to something.

Re: Roberts
Not really. I think we’re doing ok this season but clearly the results need to improve. I just think that is less likely to happen by shoving a right back who has never played for us into the centre of our midfield than sticking to our tried and tested methods.Vino blanco wrote: ↑Sun Nov 21, 2021 6:13 pmAt least you now admit, Riley bobs, that we need to resort to something.

Re: Roberts
The last four games we have had Cornet who has lifted the squad. I’m more concerned about the 30 odd league games we played before that this year, where we have achieved two league wins at home. Also, last season, if my memory serves me, we won away at zLiverpool, Everton, Arsenal, Wolves, 12 massive points which we not going to get this year.
I still think we can stay up but we need two or three players of similar quality to Cornet in January, mainly in midfield.
Re: Roberts
Why are you more concerned about games last season than the most recent games this season, particularly when the latter includes players who weren't here last season? We do need need strengthen which is a separate point to resorting to something different when in fact we are on a decent run.Vino blanco wrote: ↑Sun Nov 21, 2021 6:29 pmThe last four games we have had Cornet who has lifted the squad.

Re: Roberts
We don’t have Westwood and Tarks against Spurs so we have to do something different. Just bringing Cork back into a midfield which is already poor doesn’t fill me with any confidence whatsoever.

No he's suggesting we need to try something different. Im saying that's probably not necessary given our recent turn of form, and I don't believe last season's games provide any justification for resorting to something else.

Re: Roberts
Back to Roberts.
My guess is that SD is showing respect to Bardsley, who has been totally professional and reliable for us, rather than anything against Roberts.
If Roberts and Bardsley are alternating on the bench that's fine. On current form Lowton has the RB slot.

Exactly, and I wouldn’t mind trying to see Roberts given a chance in midfield rather than bring Cork who is in awful form at the moment, into a poor midfield.taio wrote: ↑Sun Nov 21, 2021 6:40 pmNo he's suggesting we need to try something different.

Isn't it fair to say that had Maxwel Cornet been available from the very start of the season we probably would have got more points against the likes of Brighton, Leeds & Norwich (Hamstring injury)Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 21, 2021 6:36 pmIsn’t Vino just highlighting that are our poor run from last season has continued into this?

Obviously there's no way of knowing that for sure.
I would also suggest looking at Cornet's over-all match stats before assuming that his goals are earning us extra points.

Re: Roberts
Roberts played as a wing back at Swansea so I don’t get this “oh yeah let’s play someone out of position at RM” stance when that’s exactly what we’ve done with Hendrick, Brownhill, Benson, Pieters, etc in the past.
It’s hardly a strange step up.
I would have played him there on Saturday instead of JBG as an added foil against Zaha who routinely has had Lowts on toast over the years.

Re: Roberts
Yes we have only won once, but the performances in the main have been pretty good.
Cornet's only played half the games so far
Refs have given us sweet FA this season
We've not been very lucky in general
Performances are steadily improving
As for Roberts, I'm also a bit baffled as to why he's not on the bench, I get the loyalty angle, but surely if he's fit and good enough we should be investing in the players who are going to help us in the future rather than trying to keep a player happy who is leaving at the end of this season?

Re: Roberts
I was told after the game that he had picked up an injury late in the Wales v Belgium game and therefore was not considered fit enough to be on the bench. I like many others above was hoping to see him on the right flank at some stage versus Palace.

Re: Roberts
if you watch Wales he plays very much more as an attacking wide player than a full back, even against Belgium he arrived in and around the 6 yard box 3 or 4 times. He has the ability to do it for sure.
