Looks like that one is pretty much done as speculated on. That's so disappointing - I thought he was nailed on for coming here. I get that it's a league above but, really, for how long? And, with the fact that he knows the environment and he clearly enjoyed his football here, I really thought that would count for something.

Ram-Alf Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Roberts when he said to Pearson he'd think about it LeedsRam1999, Steve How Hard?, Ramarena and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonwright Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Shame. Think he's already a very good player who will get better. Presumably he knows this, which is why he wants to play at a higher level. This is one reason I don't like it when people say 'i don't mind missing out on promotion, we weren't ready, gives us no time time to plan' etc etc. If you miss out on promotion it makes it much harder to keep and attract good young players. strawhillram, kevinhectoring, metalsheep02 and 5 others 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't beat a good old fasioned Derby County transfer window 😆 we're going to hit the ground running in the new season. Why wait until next Feb for a slump in form when you can get off to one in August......🤣 all part of the plan... strawhillram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich3478 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Thought roberts was ok but nothing more. To his credit he really seemed to be improving towards end of the season. Was very involved in games. think you’d want better going forward though if looking to finish in the top two.

RamLad1884 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Unfortunately something we have to accept that whilst we might have the history and size as a football club, we are ultimately up against clubs in a higher league than us. If this was a choice between a premier league club and championship club we wouldn’t begrudge him going for the higher league. Same applies to Championship and League One.

MACKWORTHRAM Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 It could be that as soon as we weren't promoted it was already known he would be looking at a championship move. Whilst he improved a lot towards the end. He's hardly a world beater. Some of the reactions to him signing for another club are ridiculous. He is easily replaceable Caerphilly Ram, Gisby, Carnero and 8 others 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 It's unlikely Warne wants Cashin at the heart of the defence. Evidence points towards him wanting an experienced and commanding leader there. Roberts doesn't get in the side ahead of Cashin at LCB. With 3/5 at the back, wing backs need to be a key source of chance creation. This is the main area Roberts needs to improve on. He averaged less than 1 key pass per 90 whilst playing LB, with his only assist coming in the game vs Bristol in October. He also only scored 1 goal from LB. In my opinion, he wouldn't be a starter at LWB next season. Blondest Goat, bucktwo, Carnero and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surprise he’s been tempted by better football and more money. It’s a shame tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Think we can definitely do better. We finished 7th with him in the team and we will be looking to finish top 2 next year. We will need to upgrade on a few players. Sparkle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodleyRam Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Roberts is a promising young player it would have been nice to sign him permanently but I don't think it indicates a great deal if he signs for Brizzle. Decent player, improved over the season, fair play to him if he can cut it in the Champ. If we are going to play 3 at the back though, I don't have him as a starter at LWB or LCB to be completely honest.

Reading the online Bristol Post today it seems to suggest the deal’s waiting on Brighton’s retained list coming out and whether it will be subject to compensation.

I thought that would've already been considered a done deal. DiggerB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
