Only a blithering idiot like Dave Roberts would play Conforto over Kim.
I don’t get it. I will give Roberts a bit of a reprieve as I think he does what he is told by AF/BG.
I’m with you on this. I don’t understand the insistance on playing Conforto. He can’t hit the ball to save his life. They just have to admit they made a huge mistake on signing this guy.
Kim should play every day. Conforto should be the last resort. Roberts is an idiot.
“con”forto
Kim is getting the Dalton Knecht treatment
