Connor Roberts

[ArthurNohair]

… great at right back. Crap at cartwheels.

[Burnley Ace]

What was he doing at the end, went over to the CFS to get his own applause and then walked around with his son whilst the other players were doing their “lap”?

[bpgburn]

Just a funny lad. Love his over exaggerated dancing, child like forward rolls and cartwheels on the pitch, comedy gold.

That's what he was doing

[dougcollins]

Bloody hell he wasn't on it today.

Been a good season for him though.

[BurnleyFC]

To think when he first joined some were worried he was a bit of an introvert

[warksclaret]

Seemed to drift into midfield a lot today, which considering Millwall played two strikers, was very bold

[GetIntoEm]

Clarets legend for me, and long may it continue. Gets the club, the fans and a solid professional

Agreed. There needs to be more Connor Roberts in football. Don’t take life too seriously and enjoy the good times

[knclaret]

Anyone know how he got his black eye
Was it during the match with Millwall

Probably from Natasha Beddingfield

I was thinking just today how different he is to when he first joined. He was really in his shell back then, didn't suit that Dyche team at all in any aspect.

I thought he suited it perfectly as he does the Parker team. It was Kompany who was trying to move him on.

He was unlucky not to get a fair crack at the PL last season.

I don't agree. He was a different player and different character to what that squad was used to, he clearly isnt right for a team that has minimal possession. He's implied many times he wasn't happy during that period and didn't enjoy the type of football.

He performances under Dyche were dreadful, so I don't think any blame lies at his door for not playing him too often

He played half of the games in his first season. In the last PL season under Kompany he started eight.

He made 19 league starts with 7 coming under Jackson. He wasn't settled and that was clear.
My point was his whole demeanour has changed, he looks.far more confident and comfortable in his own skin. He looked too timid when he first joined.

I'm not really sure what there is to disagree with there but nevermind.

[Vegas Claret]

Give me Connor Roberts over Assignon any day of the week

[KlyBfc]

Me too.

I have never understood the love some have / had for Assignon (though I struggled to understand the love Cornet had thrown at him too, I understand Cornet was on his day a difference maker, those days weren’t common enough imo)

So you know he wasn’t settled? He’s already said that the only time he didn’t feel settled and wanted was under Kompany.

[jojomk1]

Has had a good season but lacked much tracking back from Edwards in the latter games to help, hence exposed at times

He didn't look timid as such. He just looked like a player who wasn't quite PL standard, which sadly, he isn't.

We have several players who fall into that category.

[Dark Cloud]

When he first joined and he wasn't a regular first team pick, didn't some one, family or friend of his, post something derogatory on social media? I might have got it wrong, but it was during his early days under Dyche when they basically said he was getting a raw deal and the club were not being fair and he (they) were very unhappy.

A bit unfair on Roberts
Just about all of our squad aren't "quite" up to PL standard

Which is pretty much what I said.

'From early on in the season I was probably at my lowest point for a long, long time"

"It's hard to explain. I was really down in the dumps. I wasn't playing, I was injured, I was ill. I didn't really have a purpose. Even when I started playing when the old manager was here I wasn't really playing as well as I know I can"

And the flying full-back believes the club's bold decision to axe their long-serving boss is being fully vindicated at present.

"I saw the press came out and said ‘what are Burnley doing letting their manager go?’ but we had a little meeting and said the only thing we can do now is try to prove all those people wrong now," he explained. "We can only do that by playing better and picking up points. It’s got off to a fairly decent start."
