    Anyone else on here think SB has found a diamond ?. He had a great debut at Loftus Rd on Saturday.

    Could he push Maynor out of the way and claim the berth for himself?

    Haven't seen a lot but in the Stutgart game ( live stream ) and MOTD v QPR he looks a bargain

    I managed to watch the whole match on wiziwg on Saturday and he was solid in his job and could get forward quite well also.
    Old style full back defending on the line at the corners and when under threat good to see a real prospect IMHO

    Very young and anything could happen. He needs to be surrounded with good coaches but basically I think he looks like a £10 million player in 3 years. Maybe two if he has a stormer.

    Isn't that what Bruce and probably quite a few others were hoping he would do?

    No way back for Dudgeon after his 1 month loan at Barnsley now?

    Was just saying last night how well he played on Saturday , and that Man Ure and Arsenole paid £20 million ish/plus for Shaw and Chambers . Robertson looks a snip at those prices.

    Yeah watched him live on Saturday and looked great! Full of energy and unfazed by it all.

    High hopes but things can change very quickly.

    Look at what has happened to 2 of our nailed on first team starters within the last 2 weeks.


    One game at a time with Robertson at the moment.

    Struck GOLD imo. That lad is quality but we need to look after him and not burn him out.

    But yes SB thanks to Gordon Strachan has found a real class player.

    Yes there will be. Dudgeon will replace Figgs if he can get back his match fitness and stay free from injury.

    I like Joe Dudgeon a class act and true to the shirt, only said the other week that he wants to stay and fight for his place.

    Was the injury that has been his undoing these past couple of years
    Lets stick with him.

    I'm pretty certain that Robertson was signed to replace Figgy in the first place.

    Really? you're asking if he could replace figgy

    he already has, I told you all he would be superb, saw him in division three t'other year, aslong as he stays injury free, he's going to make us a big profit

    Can we not start off topics with just the 'Name', every time I see this I think the player will be injured

    He's defo been brought in as 1st choice fb, rotation option with Brady as wb, and i'd be willing to bet that come the end of the year there will be top 7 clubs sniffing round for a piece

    I hope Dudge comes back as we still need cover (should Figgy be let go).

    I think we should keep him as a centre-back. Maguire looks good but not ready by Bruce's standards, and injuries to Bruce and/or McShane could see him slot into the back three. I wouldn't play him left-back over Robertson, Dudge or Townsend though.

    Yes Robertson, from what I've seen so far, looks the real deal. If he carries on as he's started Figgy has no chance of getting the LWB shirt back.

    Just one thing, how long was his contract? Hopefully not a two year one similar to Ince's, otherwise he could be stolen on the cheap.
