Jason Roberts signs 18-month contract

[Friday's Legacy]

he was a class above today. his movement and his through balls were perfect. he reads the game better than anyone else here, and really gave us something we've been missing.

when he's fully fit and can do 90 minutes we've got ourselves a very very good player here, but he needs to be partnered with the right player up front, and i don't feel that is hunt or church. for me it's a natural finisher, i.e. le fondre, who must be exceptionally frustrated at seeing simon church coming on in his place. just doesn't make sense to me.

Basically agree

But TBF I thought Hunt was VG today and he will get close to 1 in 2 playing with JR

But suspect Alf would fill his boots alongside the big man

not sure about 1 in 2 for hunt. he has never been that consistent for us. alfie though would fill his boots, as cureton did.

[Royal Rother]

Oh dear, here we go.

I take any negativity back. Roberts is a superb signing and is no way near past it.

Given what I've heard from Charlie Nicholas this afternoon, you should take it back.

I heard everything that Charlie Nicholas said and understood about 5% of it. How the man maintains a speaking job as one of the major pundits on TV is a mystery, but fair play to him.

I take it he was saying Roberts played well / could have some of his tennants super later on for being such a canny laddie.

[Super Kevin Bremner!]

Reason this is a good signing is that Roberts has many of the attributes that Made Shane Long so effective in this league. He has pace, power and most important of all he drives at defences, forcing them to make decisions they don't want to in and around their own penalty area.

Expect our penalty count to rise again is all I'm saying. Championship defenders aren't good enough when forwards run at them.

I think this is a very clever signing.

[Sarah Star]

I like him.

[MmmMonsterMunch]

He looks absolutely fcuking quality IMO & has only spent 2 days with the team. Definitely a bright part of what was otherwise a pretty drab performance.

Quite excited for what could happen once Kebe & Legs are back.

agreed. only one training session before today's game. very positive. couldn't be happier with his debut. i just don't feel we threaten teams when hunt and/or church play.

[Basingstoke-Royal]

Absouletly amazing today pure class from the rest of our team

And they have also had about 10 differant Reading callers on 606 already

Cwyka looks handy too. I predict a bright future for this kid.

Is Roberts on 606 right now?

[1871 Royal]

Yes.

[MmmMonsterMunch]

Yes.

Balls bet I've missed all the Reading fan calls.

[Simon's Church]

And they have also had about 10 differant Reading callers on 606 already

And all of them mentally deficient by the sounds of it.

[MmmMonsterMunch]

How exactly is he going to carry on with 606 when we play away from home? Am I correct in thinking tonight he is doing it from the Reading BBC studio?

[The Real Sandhurst Royal]

When we signed Roberts earlier this week I thought 34 yeas of age, one and half yera contrcat the best yeras of Roberts career had gone.

How wrong I was Roberts was a class above the other players on the pitch today.

I hope there is more to come withis interview on BBC Berks prior to his 606 slot great to hear!!.

There are rumours of other BBC local radio stations located elsewhere in the country. Some are even reputed to cover local matches too

[Barry the bird boggler]

He said it was the right move, if not perfect for him as he has more or less returned home after being brought up in Hayes. It also means he can easily get to his charitable work in NW London. Hope he doesn't get called up by Grenada for their WC campaign though.
