Agree. Seemingly not the general opinion, but thought Roberts was actually very decent first half of the season. Not one of the five regular defenders impressed over the course of the season, so not sure why he's getting the thick end of the flak.
Get the pig out ????

I voted for Juke as player of the season but surely everyone knows that this was the season of the player: Jude. Remarkable if Jobe could be similar because Jude is in an elite cohort who come around so infrequently nationally let alone at one club.
Would not retire the shirt though; crass. Hope it's not the start of something.
The below is from James Nursey:
Birmingham are also understood to have considered ex-Everton midfielder Tim Cahill,40, for their vacant role.
Brum were impressed with the former Australian international who is looking to go into coaching and could yet form part of Karanka’s backroom staff.

What's the consensus on trying to sign him from our neighbours?
I imagine they will want to build a squad to try & avoid another relegation battle and as a result will be looking to offload unwanted players.

That coward who used to play for the vile has pretty much done his career.
That is such BS, if there was any contact it was minimal and not planned, if he had planned it he would have went straight through him, no one hate villa more than me but this is imaginary!
As things stand, Karanka is expected to be unveiled as the new Blues boss later this week - itll be his third job at this level of English football

I don't get how anyone could possibly be upset if we get Karanka. The guy is an actual manager!
We should all be ecstatic after having to endure the likes of Clotet, Zola and Cotterill.
While Blues CEO Ren Xuandong has been criticised heavily on Blues social media and forums recently, Kristjaan Speakman has been somewhat under the radar.
