Jason Roberts - we salute you!

[AthleticoSpizz]

Curo scored today - Roberts didn't!

OK MB , but I'd still prefer Roberts in our side. BTW where is JC?

on loan from Orient back to Exeter

[PremAddict]

Yeah, great player. I was amazed at his work rate and running considering how recent his injury was. Very VERY good signing.

[2.8 lita injection]

Used to always rate JR when he was at wigan, never thought he would have the legs for Reading at his age.

Fast becoming a legend, must be one of the sharpest 34yo's around.

[SLAMMED]

He's become a bit of a Reading legend already. Such a great player and he seems to lift the rest of the team when he plays.

I fricking love him

What a wise old pro Roberts is.

Booked early on but kept his cool throughout despite the attentions of the brutish Faye. What a battle that was.

First game back from an injury, managed his running throughout very well. I think without the injuries to Karacan/Tabb he would have been subbed for Afobe after 70-75 mins. He wasn't afforded that luxury and was a great outlet right till the end.

Did he stop smiling once?

A very good point. Agree.

[SLAMMED]

He and the rest of the squad seem to be really enjoying playing at the moment.

This is my favourite squad since our 05/06 team.

Agree and probably the best compliment any of us can pay right now.

[Stuka]

He was grinning ear to ear all game- and that's the difference between us and West Ham. Our guys play like they are enjoying it, when you look at Faye, whom Roberts had a few tussles with, he has a face like a somebody shat in his daffodils. For me that sums up the whole afternoon.

[MmmMonsterMunch]

Doing 606 now..

[Friday's Legacy]

I'm looking forward to Leeds' defence trying to handle Roberts. And Leeds have to come for a win as well, so they'll be nice and open and not all behind the ball.

[1871 Royal]

On MOTD2 as well.

[grey_squirrel]

I think I criticised his signing at the time, but am happy to admit unlike any other signing I can ever remember - and I mean ever - he certainly has seemed to gell the team and it's mentally together even stronger than it was before.

Obvious to all he is a great guy, motivator and team player. Esteemed signing.

[Avon Royal]

On MOTD2 as well.

Hope he gave Lawro a slap.

Was about to post something along these lines (apart from the short-sighted criticism ). If he's up for it he would make an extremely valuable coach for someone in a couple of years; can't remember any player bringing a team together like he has - although the excessive drinking may have dulled my memory.

[Ian Royal]

What on earth was the senile old goat blathering on about?

How did he end up at Reading?
How did they sell him for £7m?

Patronising twat.

Someone getting Motty and Lawro mixed up?

[Ian Royal]

Good point, sorry.

[sheshnu]

tbf Ian they're both well past their sell-by date and frequently come up with bullshit such as you highlight - who cares which one is which?

At least Motty isn't a smug twat and does do research.
