    Robson- - Kanu.

    I have to say that I'm disappointed and to be honest, don't understand, the continued vilification of Hal Robson - Kanu. Is it just me, but I thought that he was excellent last night. He looked our most potent force and created more chances than anybody else. I felt that there wasn't the support in the penalty area for much of his work. I realise that the game is all about opinions and I seem to be 'out on a limb' on this but it's how I see it. I also thought that he had a decent game against Middlesbrough. With everyone available, no, he wouldn't get into the starting eleven but he doesn't deserve the abuse that he gets.

    To be fair Leicester I have not seen either of the games as I am in NZ at the moment. However I do appreciate that you were at both games and therefore I value your opinion.

    I am always at a loss to understand how any player in the shirt who tries his best week in week out gets the stick that HRK gets. Is he one of my favourite players - no. Would I have him in my starting 11 - no. However, I would never give him stick, let alone outright abuse because he isn’t a great player. He wears the shirt so for me gets my support, providing he is putting in a shift for the cause at the best of his ability.

    We have had several players who are far more gifted than him who haven’t tried has hard as HRK does nearly every game. I remember my first real hero was Ray Fairfax, hardly the greatest full back we had. That said for me he gave of his best whenever he was on the pitch and that for me was, and still is, the most important thing.

    I don’t get to see much footie these days, a life choice, but I have too ageee 100%, that on last nights performance his name would be first on the team sheet. Really unlucky with the volley that hit the bar.

    An excellent bit of technique to be fair to him BMG.

    Don't rate him one bit Leicester. Last night against Brighton reserves - he tried hard but he spends more time on the floor and his end product is usually rubbish. Can't see why he plays in the middle and pushes Gayle and Jay Rod to the sides. Gayle produces magic, but sadly a big NO from me with this player! Pray he's not in the side on Saturday or against the Vile!

    Al, I agree with you, he wouldn't be in my best starting eleven either but what I am saying is that he doesn't deserve the abuse that he is getting. Let's face it, it wasn't his fault that we made yet another defensive mistake that in all probability cost us the tie.

    I agree Leicester - no player whilst in match play deserves any abuse! Whilst he was decent enough last night, it was the second string and apart from the great shot hitting the bar, the end result in other instances was poor. I really hope he's not in the side on Saturday.

    We need a great performance on Saturday and ideally get the three points. Just not convinced on Big Dave - tactically. The kids were great last night but the tie was there for winning!

    I thought he was doing OK against Brighton and was a useful foil for Rodriguez, he also brought Hoolahan into the game well. As stated though he wouldn't be a regular starter for me either given the choice. Here's hoping the lad Murphy can step into the Barnes role while Gayle partners Rodriguez. That or scrap the current system and have a look at something else. Team player and trier though he is when HRK becomes your 'go to' because he suits the system, it might be time to have a look at the system and try something else for a while.

    The bloke is useless. I could run round and fall over all game. He is payed to either score or assist. He does neither.
    We had enough aaard workers with no quality under the last idiot of a manager. Which is why we are where we are.

    Yes Leicester, he's a good player and does lots of work that doesn't get noticed or commented on. The pundits also last night were singing his praises.
