ROBERTS 1-1 WITH THE KEEPER

MISSES

[Eddie]

He should have scored. Simply can't miss those. This is why we can't be playing him.

[MarkBRFC71]

Nope Mokoena was far more useful to us than Andrews

It's a bit early for hallucinogenic drugs surely?

Trust me, I've been going to Ewood since 1982, and Mokoena is the worst player we've had.

And believe me, we've had some total toss!

[deftangel]

Why can't Jason Roberts shoot, EVER.

[BPF]

Can't score ever!!!!

************************************* Roberts!!!!!!!!!!!

(Big swearing)

[DE.]

What a shock, Jason Roberts misses a one on one.

[USA Rover]

FFS Roberts. WTF!

[iammikec]

Perfect advert for the fact that Roberts is awful in 1 on 1 situations!!

[Miker]

Seriously get a grip, there is absolutely no evidence we are now playing worse following the substitutions, in fact we're playing better.

[Mr. E]

Shoot Roberts. Shoot him. Shoot him now. Please just shoot him.

[LeChuck]

Only turned this on at 60 minutes but we've been brilliant in the bit I've seen...can't believe we haven't scored.

Roberts' miss was bad, but he made the chance himself where none of our other strikers could. That's why he's so bloody frustrating.

[deftangel]

If he get's longer than half a second to think about it, he can't score. This is why Beattie would be an effective upgrade on Roberts.

[MarkBRFC71]

Sam, if you think Roberts is a better player than Di Santo or Kalinic, you should resign because you are clearly f**king clueless about football.

Roberts is the joint worst finisher we've had since 1982 - on a par with Paul McKinnon.

[deftangel]

And more to the point, if we brought on Roberts for anyone other than Kallinc he could be taking the attention off and making chances for someone who can shoot.

Frustrating isn't the bloody word.

To be fair on Roberts that little incident showed his strengths and his weaknesses all in one. Our other strikers wouldve scored that, but they wouldnt have had the chance in the first place.

Roberts will tussle with defenders. DiSanto won't, he just chases them.

[hollowsr]

What was wrong with that?

[Tom]

Have a feeling they will nick this late on

[mellison24]

What was wrong with that?

Exactly. ANY other striker it's: "Ooooooo, unlucky lad!"

[MarkBRFC71]

Di Santo might score a one-on-one, Roberts won't, he just fluffs them.

Just like Di Santo has been burying his 1 on 1's this season? He wouldnt have even gotten to 1 on 1 from that situation.

[mellison24]

Di Santo might score a one-on-one, Roberts won't, he just fluffs them.

DiSanto is also known for 1-1 mishaps this season though. he gets the benefit of the doubt due to foreign name and youth.

[MarkBRFC71]

We'll never know, but I would rather Di Santo was in that position than Roberts. You can guarantee Roberts is going to miss.

[Tom]

Exactly. ANY other striker it's: "Ooooooo, unlucky lad!"

Roberts is famous for missing chances to win games, he is an awful finisher when given any time to think

We need to get rid

[BPF]

Di Santo might score a one-on-one, Roberts won't, he just fluffs them.

Based on goals scored in the Premiership this season I don't really class Di Santo as a Premiership Striker
