He best wrap up warm then, 24 hours before the game I'd be tempted to start him and give their defenders another problem to deal with, but then I see Ba as being more dynamic and suited more to a front 3
Ba currently has the shirt so to speak. Roberts could come on when defenders are tired... Keep thinking it's Friday today. I work Conti shifts!
I wish, been away with work all week and tomorrow can't come quick enough. It should be Ba's shirt to lose, but Roberts occupying 1 or 2 defenders might help the team. Not a bad dilemma to have though
Has anyone been in the Beacon of Light prior to a match? Thinking of heading in on Saturday with the grandson and was wondering what's on offer once inside
I know the official stats aren't great, but Roberts does help in occupying defenders and creating space. Stats can be deceptive in my opinion
Let me guess...he assists the assist I know what you mean tho mate. But if say Ba was dropped what message would that send...

Like i say mate, it's a dilemma and a good one to have. I'd like to see Adil get some minutes Saturday as well, I have high hopes for him
Let me guess...he assists the assist I too had high hopes for Adil. Like I had for Lihadji before that...Mundle seems to be the next high hope!
One way another he'll play at a high standard, he's talented and driven. Our midfield will take another season to settle but I hope he's part of it.
Agreed I think it's been coming together slowly but surely under Beale, and Saturday will showcase what he's doing with the team. I think it'll be fairly high energy, high concentration and we'll overwhelm them. I don't usually make predictions because it's a tough sport to predict and besides I'm crap at it but I do fancy us for this one. Ba on the right for me he's already a bigger goal threat than Roberts and game time is crucial for his development.
I can't put my finger on why I have the feeling it will come together, maybe just me being positive, but the change to 433 has me more confident we will punish someone soon. Being honest, I can see a case for Ba and Roberts and I can't pick between the 2 as to which one I'd prefer to be starting. My biggest hope is that Rusyn starts as I'm not convinced by Burstow at all
I like watching Roberts as a football fan but for me it's become impossible to ignore the lack of end product, I know he's often a key player in moves leading to goals but so is Ba probably. I haven't seen any stats on it but I reckon Ba tracks back and defends better too. Rusyn has to start, we can all see it. Looks a quality player and I love his attitude.
I'm sure Ba has been mentioned as a better wing back buy the French national coaches? I can't pick between the 2 with any certainty, both have skills that I believe we need, if tiu could morph them into a single person that would be ideal
