Connor Roberts

Post by Rileybobs » Sat Oct 26, 2024 6:04 pm

Did he flip the bird at the fans when they showed discontent at him turning down a forward pass?

He seemed to also make a gesture after being awarded man of the match.

Yes I thought he did flip it. 91st minute if anyone has full match recording.

Not sure about MOTM one, he did gesticulate but not sure if it was at the ref

He was frustrated towards the end. He made a few runs through their defence wanting the ball but never got it. If he did make a gesture it was probably out of frustration.

He's always had quite a strange relationship with the fans and club in general

He's a bit of a hothead, and don't forget that tache.

Bit of balance. When the ref wandered over to line up the players at the start opposite the Bob Lord, Connor recognised the mascots' parents had missed the photo opportunity. He wandered across and stood with his mascot and had his photo taken.

He played well today.

I quite like his passion.

Id like to think he was more interested in playing in it than watching. Good lad is Connor.

He’s a bit loose, and I like that. Plays hard, with attitude and I like that as well.

Didn’t think we’d see him again after his loan spell (and mismanagement) last year. Fair play to him getting stuck in.

Best right back at the club… and by some considerable margin.

His passing was excellent today, he found gaps and predicted runs

Respect.

There's more to being a footballer than kicking a bag of wind.

Roberts had a great game today and the only reason we didn't score today was because of Steve Cook and his centre half pairing. They had a fantastic game.

To be fair, Cook was helped by the fact that we didn't have much physical presence in the box but he was very good.

His best game for us, superb and nearly scored. How some people can criticise him today is beyond me.

That's a great pic Boss, I really like him - he's a hundred per cent player with a touch of the maverick about him. :geek:

He's our best at winning free kicks. He has that PL gained nous and knows exactly when to fall over.

Thought he was very good first half, but in the last quarter of the game he was leaving the Bristol City wide man unmarked, and hesitated several times in taking a pass
