James Roberts plays more as a winger than an out and out striker.... come January, I wonder if....?Another two goals for Roberts again tonight.
Makes you wonder whether he could do a Matty Taylor ...

He's leaving it a little later than Taylor......
Matty was already a regular in the Conference in his age 21 season; by his age 24 season (the one Roberts is playing now), he'd already chalked up over 100 appearances at Conference level and that year he scored 20+ goals and led Brizzle to promotion.
Roberts still hasn't been able to stick anywhere above Tier 6 (although he did seem to be a great prospect in his first year with us.......)
Yes maybe he could do a good job in the Conference?I should have qualified that it does not necessarily have to be with us. He seems to be using his time in the non-league to mature as a person and player. My dad is an Oxford City fan and thinks Roberts could play a level higher but that may be his ceiling.
Nevertheless, we like to see him do well. If he can recapture some of what he was showing during MApp’s indifferent first season with us, he may well get up another level or so. His goal against Plymouth back then is still a thing of beauty (the less said about forgotten man John Campbell’s equaliser the better!).

Tony - don't forget that there was a rather significant, and tragic, off-field reason why JR's career suddenly became less important to him at that time....Oh, no doubt. That season, he looked like a hell of a prospect and it was really sad to see his early career decline the way it did.
My post was just to point out that the Matty Taylor comparison isn't doing James Roberts any favors because Matty was a much more established player, at a higher level than James, when he was 24.
But if you want an inspirational comparison - in his age 24 season, Jamie Vardy was playing for Halifax Town in the Northern Premier League!

He isn’t an ex playerWhile we are at it what Henry Landers ?????
