Aly Cissokho

He put in some decent tackles but his positioning left us wide open at times. His distribution was also very poor.

Personally I'd recall Robinson, not that I think he is a solution, if we have no intentions of signing another LB in this window.

That position is a big problem for us as there is no guarantee how good Enrique will be when he is finally back.

Need to spend some money in the summer and address this problem permanently.

I know he's played a lot of games for them, but how well has Robinson actually been playing at Blackpool? Anyone know?

[Pablo]

I've heard he's been one of their better players this season. They've been in appalling form though.

you're all being very harsh to the bloke. he's starting to find his feet now, gives good balance.

even my two year old daughter has found her feet already

****ing hell how many times has this question been asked? Is there not a Robinson or Players out on loan thread somewhere?

This post is exactly why we need a handbag smiley.

Meh, I tend to just ignore his posts.

I love you too.

PS. I wasn't having a go at you, just remarking on how many times it's been asked recently!

[Reece]

Well it felt like it!

I think we have done a piss poor job with our signings for squad roles in the last few years. Top signings have worked well but the likes of Cissokho have been a waste and we would have gained more playing Wisdom, Robinson, whoever in one of the fullback roles.

So on that basis I hope we don't try and get any squad players. However in the long run I think we need to get better at buying and developing players to fill out a squad with genuine tactical options and decent back up players.

I agree with that. We are spending money on squad players who have little to no impact instead of giving our younger players more time. Flanagan has aquitted himself well, then we have Kelly, Wisdom, Suso and Robinson who don't seem to be any worse than Coates, Cissokho, Aspas et al.

Hopefully. in the future, we'll just pad out the squad with those players instead of buying squaddies. Rather spend the money on quality players.

we need to blood our reserve players with a couple of loan spells to get them ready for the rough and tumble of the first team. maybe getting them on a meat only diet would help.

I agree with that 100%, its doesn't seem to be a very good area for Rogers, if these players are his choice though of course
