MARK Robinson appealed to Dorchester fans to be patient after his contribution to the Magpies second successive away win at Maidenhead lasted only a few minutes. The former Weymouth midfielder who joined the Magpies in the summer has been something of a lucky charm for the Magpies who have now won on three of the four occasions he has been in the starting line-up this season. A prison service training course and injury have restricted his appearances however, and after this latest setback Robinson admitted: "I don't think I am flavour of the month at Dorchester at the moment. "But I am as frustrated as anyone because all I want to do is play football and all I can do is ask the fans to be patient. "When I joined the prison service I knew I would have to go on some courses and Mark Morris and club chairman Eddie Belt have been very understanding about that. After all, in three or four years time I won't be playing football and I have to think of the future. "I just want to get myself fit and then I am sure I can get back to my best because I am really enjoying it at Dorchester. It's a lovely club and the people here have been great to me." Robinson said he couldn't believe it when a hamstring injury forced him out of the Maidenhead game so early. "I did it in the last couple of minutes at Welling in my previous game but I thought it was going to be okay," he explained. "But I went into a tackle early on at Maidenhead and it went again. "It's still a bit sore but hopefully I won't be out for too long." Robinson watched from the dug-out as Matt Groves hit the all-important 70th minute goal that put the Magpies up to 14th place in the table. "We didn't play very well in the first half, but we kept hold of the ball much more in the second and looked a much better side," he said. "They seemed to target the two Spanish lads for some rough treatment, particularly Joseba, and their defender had to go late on when he elbowed him in the face." He had praise for his former Terras team-mate Michael Walker, whose attitude was questioned in mid-week by his manager. "He came on as substitute for Mark Jermyn and did really well," said Robinson."He has all the ability in the world and I am sure he'll be okay."
