Robin Singh (FC Pune City) - Flop

There's a joke doing the rounds on social media that BFC defender Rahul Bheke has more goals than FC Pune City frontman Robin Singh. Even if you take into account Bheke's own goal, he still has found the net on more occasions than Robin, a former BFC striker.

Robin, known for his physical supremacy on the pitch, was strangely unable to even win headers against the BFC defenders.

Robin is being played as the main target man by Pune coach Pradyum Reddy after their other striker Emiliano Alfaro moved to ATK on loan and his replacement, Iain Hume, is yet to gain complete fitness.

Robin's contribution, however, was negligible and he only made things worse by stopping a run by Erik Paartalu and earning the wrath of the West Block Blues, BFC's supporters.

Robin has scored against Bengaluru FC - there was that brace for East Bengal when BFC were still in the I-League in the 2016-17 season. Since then, he hasn't done anything noteworthy and that spilt onto the pitch for 90 minutes against BFC.
