Jake Robinson

[Staly]

Now officially signed for us, after turning down Lincoln.

Will he cut it?

 

[BensGrandad]

Possibly but if not he will be a good buy for your reserves in the Shropshire County Cup.

 

[Father Jack]

i think he needed to leave Brighton to kick start his career, he may well do that with you and if he does you have a potentially good player there.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Personally with a run in the team and decent service I reckon he will do OK.

He wont be prolific but I reckon 8 - 10 goals a season.

 

[folkestonesgull]

I think he'll do well enough

 

[Austrian Gull]

Looked like a fantastic prospect at the start of his career - pace & an eye for goal. But, his scoring record in the end was disappointing. He polarised the fans more than most - some loved him (and Facebook stalked him!) and others thought he was a bottler.

He certainly has potential but don't expect him to score 20 goals a season!

Definately agree with that, he just needed someone behind him to give him the kick he needs.

He is a very confident player, and my opinion is that he has real potential, i used to hope he'd be the next possible Gary Hart!

Gutted that he went.

 

[BensGrandad]

He needed to leave us as he would always be seen as the youngster with potential it now up to him to seize the chance and prove whether or not he is good enough consistently. We all know that he can be occassionally.

 

[tinx]

Don't be surprised if he misses a few dead cert one on ones witht he keeper though, he tends to do that a fair bit.

 

[RexCathedra]

Low risk, high (potential) reward signing. Don't see a downside.

 

[strings]

Good to see he has found another club. Robinson is a confidence player and therefore could be your best player or your worst player in front of goal. I always have thought that his workrate is good, but when he is low on confidence, the end product can sometimes fade. If the fans get behind him, I'm sure he will do very well.

I think, you have got yourselves a good player.

 

[Silent Bob]

He's got talent, no doubt about that but at Aldershot he started well and then faded away (at least in terms of goals), needs to find some consistency. Having Grant Holt there to keep the big mean defenders away from him might help. I hope he does well.

 

[Staly]

I think the idea is that he acts as a tricky, fast foil for Holt, so won't necessarily be expected to score loads but hopefully tie up defenders and make some chances.

I hope...

 

[Icy Gull]

Potentially very good but lacks bottle for a league forward imo so having a minder alongside him may help. Capable of scoring some long range unexpected goals too. I was sorry he never made if for us but proved too lightweight and cannot defend when called up either. We like our forwards to be able to defend as we seem to spend plenty of time doing so.

 

[tottenhamseagull]

I think the idea is that he acts as a tricky, fast foil for Holt, so won't necessarily be expected to score loads but hopefully tie up defenders and make some chances.

I hope...

I wouldn't expect holt and robinson to be in the same team, Holt is going to move on....Possibly to the Albion.

50/50 I reckon. He's under contract still, and we'd need a pretty good offer to let him go. Norwich also interested I believe.

 

[clippedgull]

I hope his girlfriend can settle 'up north'
