OldlandReddies Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Rob has been in superb form the last few games and has been a real threat in front of goal. He is a HUGE 30/1 to score ANYTIME today with Betfair. He's as low as 11/1 elsewhere and a general 14/1. That is a price not to be missed surely???!!!!

Port Said Red Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Astounding today, superb in defence and attack. With 5 minutes to go he created a chance by pressing halfway in the opposition half. He was my man of the match. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshtonRobin21 Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Looked to be battling through a slight knock towards the end of the game as well. Didn't look too comfortable when running. Looked like if Chris Martin stepped on a pin. Everything to like about him as a defender. A bit of fine tuning and I feel he could end up being a top end championship player. He is very similar to Rob Dickie (QPR) who gets rave reviews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Yes, he looks like he’s getting back to his pre-injury/covid form. Defensively sound and I like the way he carries the ball forward. Not sure how the free kick decision went against him when he drove forward into their half late in the game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was caller implying we had three cart horses as center backs. Luckily we actually have a senior pro with bags of experience and some class plus two guys, one of whom didn’t get his first game until six weeks ago or so, who have come through non league to play their first season at this level and are starting to look decent together. Its tiring being a City fan and tiresome listening and reading some of our supporters. We played very decently on the counter attack and whethered a lot of pressure from a promotion chasing team in the first, the center backs and the two schoolboys out wide did very well all game! Atkinson can go a long way as you imply!!! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Sno Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 I thought he was excellent today needs a leader alongside him and that's exactly what Klose is. I would have no qualms with these 2 as our first choice cbs in a 4 next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 He’s getting better - will need the likes of him, Scott, Semenyo etc to continue their improvement next season if we want to progress (I would be targeting top half). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KegCity Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Tidy player. Quite happy for him to partner Klose next season if we move to a back 4. Can’t believe some considered him an unsuccessful signing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agh thanks for putting that together for me. I was in and out of the room so didn’t hear the introduction. I never realized the fella was Bristol Boy. I’ve Listened to Mr Gay many times on the old fellas poddy. He can be right some of the time and has no problems expressing his view, which is admirable!

So this would be the very same person who has been suggesting that we give Cundy a run of games until the end of the season? Who did he think we’d partner him with? Virgil Van Dijk? What a complete tosser he is. 2 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atkinson has a strange running gait, but Rennie confirmed he’s one of the quickest at the club. Cundy did pretty well again tonight. The two up top for Sheffield were bloody sharp first half, little one-two’s, dummies and spins, etc. I thought the three coped incredibly well. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Geoff Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Don't think it's a coincidence that Atkinson (and to a lesser extent Cundy) has played his best games with Klose alongside him rather than Kalas. As for his running gait, he reminds me of David Rogers in that respect 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malago Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 The other advantage with the Robs is they’re never going to attract attention from premiership clubs or clubs with PP and both could have lengthy careers with us re Louis Carey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klose was outstanding I thought, even to the decision to take a yellow towards the end of the game. Absolutely necessary and done quickly and efficiently. Cundy will become a very good championship defender IMO. He clearly has the mindset. No lapses in concentration communicating with Klose and Scott well. Watching the 3 of them, I do think selling Kalas isn't the worst idea. Save on wages, use the fee to buy a decent replacement and we have 4 good CBs for when I guess we go to a back 4 next season. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
