He needs the majority of this season to get up to speed, he has the talent, just needs games and of course not for our fans to get on his back at every single opportunity.
Unfortunately, you know there will always be a certain percentage of fans who will not be happy with certain players no matter how hard they try.
A good example for this is Baker who has been our best player this season. Yes he's not been great and has had the odd dud game but his effort, compared to those around him has been superb.
But despite this, Fans expect instant results and they'll bitch and wine when they don't get what they want, like moany little children. They expect the players to suddenly become the best footballers in the world.
This unfortunately isn't possible. Doesn't stop them moaning though does it!! I'm willing to give players like Barton, Jennings, Baker, Bell etc the benefit of the doubt. Players like Bell, while not having the best track record at this club, haven't had the chance to show Robins what he's made.
Baker is doing well so far and improving every game. Jennings has been injured and I think his match fitness hasn't been where it should be and thats affected him on the pitch. Barton is the same, coming back from a triple leg break, he's gone missing in matches but he now has this chance to prove to Robins he can play in this team.
In the end we have no say on what players go and what players stay. Robins does and ill trust his judgement over a bunch of moaning fans anyday lol
