    Right, speculation starting to accumulate that JCR has walked out and won't fight for his place in the team. I do hope that is not the case as I think the bloke has talent and is good for the club when he's on form. I'd like to encourage him to stay, and work to improve his game, and force his way into the team. I don't think he's a finished article yet - some games he is very very good - but there are a few significant weaknesses that he has shown on the pitch and if I was Robins I would be challenging him on them. If this is the case, maybe JCR doesn't like this?

    He's great running at players - but sometimes he doesn't know when to give it or play it simple. His crossing is poor frankly - no better than poor - I can think of any number of Barnsley wingers down the years who could put it into the box better than JCR. He has to work on this if he wants to complete his game. For me, he is more interested in cutting inside and trying to get a speculative shot away or doing something more fancy.

    His attitude is questionable also - sometime he just seems like a disruption on the pitch when his head drops and get seems to get the arse. Forest at home last year we saw both sides of JCR - he popped up with a vital goal, but got carried away over celebrating in the corner when there was a lot left to do. Then he missed the penalty following the debacle with Andranik. After that I thought he was going to lose us the game with his petulance.

    JCR could be awesome - but I get the impression at the moment that he thinks he is better than he actually is. For me Robins is right to be leaving him out at the moment and it's all about how JCR responds to that. If he comes back stronger he could become a legend - if he starts to get the arse and acts like a drama queen - it's time to say goodbye and flog him to the highest bidder.

    If he don't wanna play for us then bye bye. I don't want any player that does not wanna fight for his place or even play for us

    Isn't this better discussed

    when we have facts and not just rumours?

    If we limited our discussions to hard facts

    This board would be quite quiet

    I for one hope that the speculation is completely unfounded - and it may well be - but there is a chance that it is valid so its a fair topic for discussion in my opinion.

    Stops the rumours abart him getting munk on

    But you've got to question why a player of that calibre can't get in an 18 man squad.

    i still think its a bit **** that he left unless he had a genuine reason, he's getting paid good money, surely the games are part of his working week? he should sit and watch and hope that we win! not racing off to go on playstation or listen to some rap

    Well said. No reason at all why he couldn't have stayed to cheer the lads on.

    Where is that from

    Not that I am doubting it but I cant find any comment on the official site - unless I am looking in the wrong place which is quite likely

    RE: Where is that from

    It's from Barnsley Player, Robins' pre-match interview for the Forest game.

    Maybe Robins' isn't too keen on him, or maybe it was just tactical. Julian Gray can fill in at left-back which gives him an advantage over Jamal, and let's not forget Robins is using Anderson as more of a wide player now. He wasn't really going to have Gray, Anderson and Campbell-Ryce all on the bench was he? You would have expected it from Davey, picking his favourites rather than using some tactical sense, but not Robins.

    Thanks

    No idea whats behind it - With 7 subs allowed on the bench I am a bit surprised there wasnt room for him but hard to argue with someone who's substitutions do seem to change the game

    RE: Thanks

    On our way out after the game, a few Donny fans were saying to each other that Robins changed the game with his substitutions. Not heard that said about Barnsley for a good few years, have we?
