A brace for Robinson today against Watford for whom Vata got an assist.
Straight red this afternoon for an elbow on a Coventry player
The BBC Radio 5 commentator and pundit both queried the red card. Cardiff manager Riza wasn't happy either, pointing out that it was the (substitute) referee James Durkin's first Championship game. Perhaps Cardiff will appeal the card.
2 for Cardiff against Swansea brings him to 10 league goals to for the season. Good going scoring that many in around half a season in a struggling team. Him, Parrott and Cannon all in form going into March, Szmodics was doing OK too until the injury. Plenty of options for HH.
That's a Championship goal every 124 minutes played, on average, according to Transfermarkt.
First goal was a beaut, a real confidence strike.
I've always felt Robinson blows hot and cold though. Has a good run for 2 or 3 games and then goes on a drought for 10.. although he's been better this season it must be said.
Regardless, he's definitely gone up the pecking order. Hopefully he can stay on a good run now. He brings something different
Another goal and an assist for Robinson today against Derby. Sounds like he played well all round too. Is he playing himself into HH plans?
Has to be I think. A very streaky player and someone who I feel has the ability to be playing at a higher level than he is. But on current form he's definitely in the squad at a minimum.
And given other options aren't inspiring either. Idah with no goals in 15 (is it now?), Ferguson and Sammie injured, Connolly still a long way to go in his recovery, Obafemi injured and gone off a cliff anyway. Maybe only Parrott and Cannon ahead of him?
Yes, although Szmodics and Ferguson should both be back playing by the time the squad is named. Robinson, Parrott, Ferguson, Cannon and Szmodics would be the five for me as things stand (with Vata picked as well but primarily as a winger).
I'm not sold on Ferguson at the moment. I know that might be sacrilege to some people but everyone on that list is having a better season by a country mile and you could even argue Idah is having a better season.
I want to be wrong saying this. Irish players seem to struggle with confidence more than most and we need our in-form players as much as possible.
Begin the slaughter
No slaughter, but if the Bulgaria game was next week and he was available, I'd still start him. At the level we're up against here, he would give the Bulgarian defence a lot to think about I think.
