Ben Roberts

Not good enough at 1 3 6 or 7. Made of biscuit, makes countless handling errors when he does play. This is going to sound brutal but with Trueman looking the future at 6, I think Roberts should finish.

No worries that people will disagree with me but even on a good day he is rocks and diamonds.

All I can say is watch what Roberts is doing when Barba is picking up the swift fumble (wasn't a knock on BTW)
Summed up my comment on value for money....

He was that good tonight I didn't even realise he went off injured until at least 5 mins later. What's up with him now? ](*,)

DP confirmed he's torn his hamstring. Surely his time is up?!

Get rid he is injured more than he plays and when he does it's nothing special let's face it.

Hands on his knees absolutely gased 15 minutes into a game and he's a back.

Thought he looked lively at first but I agree. As it stands we cannot carry him. We need pivots and we have little at tge minute.

Seems to me his body just isn’t up to it anymore. Time to give it up Benny.

He must be as frustrated as us. Players have injuries. It’s a fact - we can’t just fire someone for being injured.

I look at Webster when we signed him who was injury prone. Roberts needs to be managed and get his body into a right place. His contract is up next season so maybe that will be that but he has my support until he does.

Players don’t need bagging when they are injured. It’s a tough place to be in when all you want to do is help your mates, teammates and repay the fans.

Do you think he's giving us Value for money and justifying what he earns? That includes his efforts when he manages 80mins.

Month off with a calf problem and then crocked with a hamstring now....is his body not up to it?

He's never given us value for money. You can count his GOOD games on one hand. Get rid!!

Benny ain't good enough. He has only ever shown glimpses of how good he is. Never has he been consistent. Add to that his injury issues..... I think it's time to slowly take him out of the 17 until his contract is up.

How long as benny left on his contract ? we as a club will have to honour it CAS with its limited financial clout can not afford to have people who are continually crocked, the lad is by his sell by date and should be released if the club can reach an agreement

Nobody will want Roberts on current form/injuries sad but true,remember he wasn’t even our first choice stand off last season.
