shannonjade Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 well surprise surprise roberts at fault again for red dogs goal how many more times because of his height, slowness and positioning is he going to be responsible for us conceding get freeman in we are safe now lets build for next season get a defensive unit together who can play every week and get to know each other. sorry late in re-posting lost password interesting about 50/50 over roberts to my mind if 50% of rams fans think hes rubbish thats 50% too many never mind is he out for three games now chance for freeman to stake his claim alot of you missed my point if hes not going to be around next season we might as well concede goals with somebody who is and who can get to know the rest of the defensive unit by playing regularly with them ever played football at primary school the footie teachers words to the full back were get close to the winger and dont let him get a cross in or if he goes out wide go with him so he cant recieve a pass anybody notice who was at fault with the first goal v hull?

Hucknall Ram Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Being released, All the best Robbo http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22372598 Gareth Roberts: Derby County release veteran left-back Derby County have released left-back Gareth Roberts after three seasons with the Championship club. Roberts, who has played more than 100 games for the Rams, will be 35 in June. Manager Nigel Clough said Roberts had been "brilliant", but said the time was right for the defender to move on. Clough told BBC Radio Derby: "He's been brilliant to have around the place. I wish he was a year or two younger. But we are trying to sign Craig Forsyth and we have to move on at some point." Forsyth has impressed during a loan spell at Pride Park from Watford and the Rams are trying to wrap up a permanent deal for the 24-year-old. [indent]“"He has been a great example to the younger players. To still be playing as well in the Championship says a lot about his professionalism and fitness”[/indent] Nigel Clough Meanwhile, Roberts intends to find another club in order to prolong his career. "I definitely want to keep going," he said. "I still feel fit and strong and enjoy do what I am doing day in, day out. I will hopefully play for another three or four years." Clough said Roberts, who joined on a free transfer from Doncaster Rovers in May 2013, would be missed at Pride Park, "He has been a great example to the younger players. To still be playing as well in the Championship says an awful lot about his professionalism and fitness," he added. "There are not many players playing the Championship who are 35 plus, so we think it just might be one season too many for him. I hope he gets on in whatever he does. "He will have a think about what he wants to do. Whatever he does we will wish him all the best and will help him however we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I really hope he gets a good send off on Saturday, he's been a very steady player for us the past 2 seasons. Didn't get the credit he deserved most of the time. STATUE FOR ROBERTS! #GR3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asanovic Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Probably the most consistent player over the last two seasons IMO. Credit to the club. Somewhere in the dcfc.co.uk article alluded to him possibly staying on in a coaching capacity - would be good to see. He's been a wise head on the pitch and I can imagine the younger players have respect for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

networker1884 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Didn't realise... "The 35-year-old has made 31 appearances for the Rams this season, and has also combined his playing role with some coaching in the club’s Academy." Maybe we will see him back as a coach an a couple of years. http://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/article/roberts-keen-to-continue-playing-803178.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Often got criticised, but I've seen him come out on top against Zaha, Ince, M Phillips and plenty other decent wingers despite his size and pace. I appreciate people's opinions on most matters but I've seen comments like "he's the worst player in the squad" and such like - I'm sorry, but that's just wrong. Very wrong. The sort of comment that really makes you wonder... You'll never get promoted with a team of Roberts', but you'll never go down either. Honest pro who let the football did the talking, and he was the one player who actually showed his experience when we needed it. I'll miss him, but it's time to move on for everyone.

North_Stand_Ram Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I would have kept him personally. It must mean our signings in the lb position ie Forsyth are in the pipeline! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tibbs Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Had a rancid first year, has been solid the past 2. My POTY last year. Good luck G-Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodleyRam Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Good servant to the club, seems a good bloke and will be missed around the place if not necessarily on the pitch as we move forward. Excellent player on his day, kept a few of the league's rising stars quiet in the last couple of seasons, deserves a good send off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
