Which part of the game is Roberts better at? Getting forward? Supporting the winger? Overlapping? Crosses in the box/ scoring goals?

Bloody hell one would be an achievement here.

Defending!

Roberts is a clever defender at times and reads the gane well and usually tidy in possession. Jenno like his brother isn't rated by many on here but they are more than good enough for a top NL team. They maybe gobby but they want to be winners and like his brother difficult to replace.

But that's the point, Roberts gets to defend and hoof when he gets to the half way line.

Jennings is expected to be our left winger, beat the full.back and get quality crosses in at the by line, and then we moan when he cant get back to defend!

It doesn't have to be one v the other anyway. Roberts is steady but is never going to impress people who think his primary job is to attack. Jennings in contrast is capable of both sublime and ridiculous and bound to get extreme responses from both points of view. Both are fine for us but the other thing against Jennings is that he hasn't had to fight for his place since he arrived whereas Roberts has had some competition.

I would be happy to get rid of both. Jennings isn't as good as he thinks he is and Roberts just isn't good enough really.

That's fair enough.
