Uncanny, that's exactly how he responds, with the flick of the hair.I don't care what you think.

His whole demeanour has changed and it’s clear he wants out, so let’s move on.In which case you’re in that class with a short memory! Not really sure it’s fair to say his head is too big - have you spoken to him personally? Like the rest of us, I doubt it. So you can only assess his football which for the most part and when played in a forward position he’s had an excellent season. The rumours appeared to coincide with his downturn in form but considering he played a different position every other week I think he did OK - just not his best. There is such a thing as form in football and it does come and go based on all sorts.
Were it not for Sykes at times in the first half of the season we’d have been out of the race long before now. He really showed up where others didn’t. Nobody could question his desire, attitude and application and he even started adding the goals and assists which people continuously held against him.
There are always other options out there but sometimes it’s better the devil you know and if KR can be sure he will apply himself, he’d be crazy not to keep him. But if he wants away, let him go because we don’t want 50% of him.
Agree he should go if he wants, that’s what I’ve also said.His whole demeanour has changed and it’s clear he wants out, so let’s move on.
I personally not bothered by him leaving as I know there’s better out there.
All those who didn't say yes?Who do you believe has turned down the chance to play for Oxford due to Robinson?
Many reasons players don't sign for clubs, but you stated that many didn't want to play for a KR team. That's an odd thing to say unless you're implying that KR is the reason?All those who didn't say yes?
I was actually an advocate of his when Robinson didn’t play him, but I’ve felt these last few months he’s been disrespectful for the club since he decided he wanted out.Agree he should go if he wants, that’s what I’ve also said.
Just think your disregard for his ability/contribution over the season is unfair. There might be someone out there we could sign who is more committed to the club but if we’re talking about replacing his technical ability with another regular starter (I.e. not much development needed), that’s not as easy as you suggest.
Don't you think its getting a little silly now? Anytime someone mentions even a negative thought towards kr, you respond in the same protective way as the David Walliams character used to in Little Britain, whenever the Prime Minister he worked for was criticised

Did I say that? No. Don't be silly.You believe that every single player who has had discussions with OUFC recently but ultimately refused to sign "turned down the chance due to Robinson"?
What would be odd about not wishing to play for a KR team? Players can have their reasons for not joining a particular team, all sorts of reasons and, one of them may well be that they do not wish to be a part of a KR team. Is it so difficult for you to accept that KR is not everyone's cup of tea?Many reasons players don't sign for clubs, but you stated that many didn't want to play for a KR team.

It may be that, along with others, he is suffering under the KR influence and constantly being asked to play in different roles.
However, if there is better out there and, if they want to play for a KR team (something I believe many have said no to) then let's go for them.
This summer is going to be an incredibly tense and potentially disappointing time for fans. June 10th window opens, KR claims to have plans already, I doubt they are firm plans.

Baloney or b/s? Make your mind up. It's not too difficult to believe, if he talks to players in private the way he throws them under the bus.Not silly at all, seems like a decent question following the accusation and i would like to hear
the answer to this as i suspect its baloney.
I get that people don`t like KR but adding made up things as part of the reasoning is just b/s.

He seems quite well liked by players, a lot have spoken well of him, though obvs not everyone will feel the sameWhat would be odd about not wishing to play for a KR team?

There are loads of things to criticise Robinson for without having to make things up.
You’re asking Scotchers to CRITICISE KR?!?!I agree. Can you name 7?
