It's all down to him. When he's on his game he's head & shoulders above any player in this league.
It just goes to show just how influential he really is to our team. My MOTM today because he tore Fleetwoods defence a new one.

Ive been saying that for over a month - while everyone was bellyaching and crying about how much we miss Doyle, I said it was Robbo that the man we missed.
A new hope.

Quality player and got a good two or three years left in him if he looks after those hamstrings. He plays well, we play well.
He's absolutely class. Best player in this league by a country mile. Doyle !!! We'll not miss him. Would Roberts tho

He makes us play, dictates the tempo we play at, always wants the ball and draws plenty of free kicks from the opposition at good times.
We're lucky to have him

He's a very, very clever player. He does things that are totally unexpected and leave the opposition looking like they wear concrete boots. Very entertaining player..

The thing is that we tried to sign another player (John Welsh?) before we signed him. Does it make you wonder what mess we would've been in or if we would've been in a better position?
Did Mr Cook think that the other player would've been a lesser skilled, more reliable option? Or could it've been a more skilled player?
Was it Welsh?

As lucky as we are to have Gary, I have to say Welsh is a cracking little footballer. (I'd have Robbo over him though, like).
Everytime I've seen him play for Preston on TV etc he's looked a real menace.
Would have been great to have them both, although Robbo is the one with the goals in him.

Gary Roberts would grace any chesterfield side ever, yes he's only been here 18 months but he is amongst the finest players i have ever seen in town colours. he is the difference between a top or bottom half finish this season.

Pure class. A great character and he clearly loves playing for the club. It will be a sad day when he leaves us i'm sure!

Such an intelligent player. Even when a pass fails you can see that it was the right thing to try.
He is the reason we must never play hoofball. Why would you want to cut him out of your attacks? Suicide.

Difficult to say that we'll not miss a player with 25 goals by the end of January.
Both Roberts & Doyle have been excellent players for us and they had a great understanding together.
When we play the preferred Cook way as we did Saturday, then Roberts is the "heartbeat" and Doyle was the "head". With players like Morsey, Ryan etc behind you and TD running down the full length of the pitch like he owns it, then the "heartbeat" can work to it's strengths which are run, push, probe, pass and attack - when Roberts is on fire then we are less dependent on having a finisher of Doyle's quality.
