[Marty-Hibee]

It's no coincidence some of our worst results have come when he's been out. Proper box to box, ran himself into the ground every game he's played this season.

[Heedersnvolleys]

I think it someone we have missed.

[Ozyhibby]

Missed him big time. Even with all his time out with injury I would say he is our player of the year which is a disgrace.

[patlowe]

I don't think Robertson is a great player but there is absolutely no doubt that we have missed his energy and aggression in the midfield.

[CraigHibee]

he has been missed, hope it wont be too long before he is back playing, would be ideal for the split if he is fit enough

[lord bunberry]

Robertson like Craig hasn't kicked a ball under Butcher, Robertson has played less games obviously but I can't think of one good game he's played.

[patlowe]

Not sure I'd agree entirely. Like Craig, Robertson shows a lack of composure or technique on the ball in the middle but we have definitely missed his energy and harrying. I can think of several examples during Butcher's first few games when Robertson won the ball back high up the pitch and initiated attacks for us in the process. Not a great player but often effective.

I would have to ask the question do you go to the games?

The four game run where we took 10 points out of 12, ie Ross County, Killie, Hearts and Dundee Utd was our best spell of the season.

Robertson was excellent over that four game spell, as good as anybody in a Hibs jersey.

I'm with you on this one. Robertson has been good this season.

I'd argue that he's a better midfielder than what we have because of this. Would like to see him and Taiwo together.

:agree:

[tanfield]

my favourite player this season. not that he's had a lot of competition mind you!

[Billychaotic182]

Easily our best player

[Hiber-nation]

He's not exactly gifted and he's had a few really poor games but unlike many others he never hides and gives some drive and determination. We've definitely missed him.

I disagree, he didn't stand out for me in any of those games. At the start of the season under fenlon I thought he was excellent, he was a real driving force in the midfield, since butcher arrived he's been less effective, just like liam craig.

I would put that down the tactic of punting into the corner and missing the midfield out more than anything else. I agree with Scoops one of our best players this season.

[GreenLake]

Get well soon Scott, we need you back.

It's all down to opinion your honour and I'm certainly not going to fall out with you but I thought he was excellent in that spell I referred to earlier. He helps the back four and times his runs well into the opponents box.

He will never be a hero but for me is dependable and to me easily the best midfielder over the season (although I think Stanton would have been if introduced earlier).

Agree regarding Liam Craig.

[thebakerboy]

He has tried hard for the team and after a couple of our poorer results was one player who went to the fans and really looked like he was sorry for the result , really down . In other words he actually appeared to care about the result.

[rcarter1]

Im in agreement with pro Scott, and not so pro Liam. Scott Robertson is the type of player we could do with more of. Alongside a few players with a bit of class and composure, a team of Robbos would do pretty well. Liam Craig has been, goals apart which have been useful to be fair, really disappointing.

[number 27]

I think we would be losing fewer goals if we had Robertson available, he gets his tackles in and also wins a surprising number of headers from opposition set pieces.

I wish he had a better first touch but he does bring a bit of drive and energy to the midfield which no one other than Stanton seems to offer on a consistent basis.

I like him a lot and that is one of the reasons why. Some games he was the only one who applauded the fans and looked upset that we hadn't got a result. Think he was the only one that stayed on the pitch after the hearts cup game.

I'm not trying to have a go at Robertson I also think he's been our best midfielder this season, I just don't think Butcher's tactics have suited him or Craig so far.

[Centre Hawf]

I understand what you're saying, but I can't help but associate our poor run of form with his Injury and our Good run at Butchers start when he was a first team player.

Would like to see him beside Taiwo soon and allow Stanton that role he played against Raith Rovers.

[mcfly]

I think he will be one of the few snr pros that are kept on.

Many of the first team should and will be shown the door

None can complain either as this season like the past 3 or 4 has been a disaster.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Massive loss recently. No coincidence that we're gifting teams 3 goals every single week since he left the side

[Borderhibbie76]

Robbo is my fave player and agree he has been a massive loss...as for liam craig..goals apart he has done very little to impress under fenlon or tb...

we look more competitive going forward with him in our side, and you can never fault him for effort and commitment. I have enjoyed watching SR this season and hope he returns soon, hurry up big man!!

[HFC 0-7]

I'm with you on this one. Robertson has been good this season.
Disagree, I think it's shows how bad we are when performances that Robertson has put in are being classed as good.

I have never seen the hype with him to no honest, lot of running around with little or no direction. His passing, along with so many others this season has been honking.

[TheFamous1875]

Robertson gives us something that no one else gives us: drive. Sam Stanton I guess, but considering he's only a pup, he should be following example, not leading by.

Ideally, I think the midfield next season should be Robertson as the box-to-box player, a new signing (main man Captain type with quality) and Stanton the apprentice, cutting his teeth with two good professionals guiding him, like Flood and Robson with Pawlett.

Robertson comes across as a captain figure.

He's not a great player but he seems to care about what he's doing which counts for a lot.
