Not sure I agree with your view that it is either Robson or Husband , they are not competing for the same position . Robson is an out and out midfielder , Husband a basic defender who could operate as a wing back imho.I think it will have to be a Robson / Husband season. These guys get stuck in and will, therefore pick up injuries and cards. I'm comfortable with either (or both) in the team but I think it's going to be one or t'other.
I thought his contract had run down and he wanted awayGuy I work with is a manic Sunderland fan, travels to every home game, including night games from Blackpool. He can’t understand why they let him go
No, I didn't mean that. What I was trying to say is that during the season, the misfortune of injuries and bookings may make it a choice of either, or.Not sure I agree with your view that it is either Robson or Husband , they are not competing for the same position .

Sorry, I think you're wrong.
Pretty unfair to compare him to Southern, especially at the expense of Keith. Remember Keith played and proved himself at Prem level - Anderson has played well for us in two games! Long way to go.Already miles ahead of southern in terms of ability
We are talking about Robson...Pretty unfair to compare him to Southern, especially at the expense of Keith. Remember Keith played and proved himself at Prem level - Anderson has played well for us in two games! Long way to go.
Keith Southern was premier league...
Robson couldn’t hack it at league 1 Sunderland...
So why did he only start 11 Premier league games if Ollie thought he was that good?Phone Ian Holloway up...
and ask him how good Southern was ?
Southern has been there got the T shirt.....
Robson has been nowhere and got nothing
Southern played more than 1 game for Blackpool in the premier league...
Let’s see if Robson can get to the promised land...
Sunderland didn’t think so..
They could be wrong...who knows ?
Robson isn’t even a similar player to Southern...
You compare Robson with DdddDavid Vaughan....
I thought he was superb and not sure about the love in with Ward as for me Robson is twice the player (arguably without the goals!).Yes I’m bumping my own thread...but only to say - dictated the entire game tonight and that left foot...
Love watching him!
They would do a decent job in the Championship I reckon.The through ball for Hamilton in the build up to the goal was inch perfect. Robson and Dougall are going to make a pretty formidable league 1 midfield.
He was injured. Once fit we started to win againSo why did he only start 11 Premier league games if Ollie thought he was that good?

Both players offer different qualities and both will be played regularlyFleetwood will be more a Robson game than a Ward game IMHO
I can't have that. Think laddie...that team he was in got to the Prem and did quite well. Keith was dependable, rock solid and scored some important goals for us. When Robson has done the same, I'll be ready to listen to you.Southern may have played 1 season in the premier league, but he was never premier league quality in my opinion. He was Championship at best.
Of the 11 games Southern started in the PL we only won 1 ( Bolton) , or do you mean the following season? In my opinion he was a decentHe was injured. Once fit we started to win again
Fair point.Robson looks better now than
Southern did
When he first signed on
Loan from Everton.
The cold light of statistics tell a bland story. Yes, he was not an established Prem player but he was our Keith. He came through the leagues with us and grew into his role. I'd have him ten times over some Johnny-come-lately " I'm here for the cash whilst you're in the top division." Those guys will even kiss the badge for a bit extra.Of the 11 games Southern started in the PL we only won 1 ( Bolton) , or do you mean the following season? In my opinion he was a decent
Championship player but like some of those promoted not quite PL standard.
Robson is 5 years older than Southern was however. Not a fair comparison, with a 19 year old.Robson looks better now than

I wouldn't argue with that , perhaps a bit sentimental for my liking but I get where you are coming from!!The cold light of statistics tell a bland story.
