It is fair to say that defender Jack Robinson's move from Sheffield United to Birmingham City has not gone to plan so far.

Robinson was a regular for Sheffield United last season as they reached the Championship play-off final, and he wore the captain's armband in three of their opening four games of this campaign, including in the 2-1 EFL Cup defeat at Birmingham in August.

However, after a summer of change at Bramall Lane, Robinson was allowed to depart on the final day of the summer transfer window to join the Blues, and he put pen to paper on a two-year contract at St Andrew's @ Knighthead Park.

Robinson was thrown straight into Birmingham's starting line-up after his arrival, but he was sent off on just his second appearance for the club in a 3-0 defeat at Coventry City, and things went from bad to worse for the 32-year-old when, just two games later, he received another red card in his side's 3-2 home loss against Hull City in a match in which he also scored an own goal.

Blues manager Chris Davies insisted last month that he had "drawn a line" under Robinson's disciplinary issues, but he is yet to make a single appearance since his second dismissal against the Tigers in October, remaining an unused substitute for each of the last five games.

It seems Robinson's future at Birmingham may already be in doubt as, according to Football Insider, his former club Sheffield United are keen to re-sign him on loan in January, with Chris Wilder, who appointed him as club captain last season, now back in charge of the Blades - albeit The Star have claimed that there is nothing in the links.

Birmingham City told to agree Jack Robinson deal with Sheffield United in January

When asked if he would like to see Robinson depart in January, FLW's Birmingham City fan pundit Jason Moore claimed that he does not want to see the defender ever play for the Blues again after his previous misdemeanours, and he urged the club to agree a deal to send him back to Sheffield United when the window opens.

"I would 100% per cent drive him back to Bramall Lane," Jason told FLW.

"I think Blues fans as a whole would probably carry him there if we had to.

"It hasn't worked out, he's been awful, bar one game.

"If Sheffield United are open to taking him back, we should 100 per cent send him back.

"There are other options out there. I don't want to see him play in a Blues shirt again. We should 100% send him back."

Sheffield United return may make sense for Jack Robinson after Birmingham City nightmare

Robinson was a solid defender for Sheffield United over the years, so he looked to be a strong addition to the Birmingham squad, but his time at St. Andrew's @ Knighthead Park has been a disaster.

It is perhaps unsurprising that Blues supporters do not have the most positive view of Robinson given that he has scored an own goal and been sent off in two of his four appearances for the club, and he came in for plenty of criticism following the second of those red cards against Hull after being given his marching orders for dissent.

There will be nobody more frustrated than Robinson with the way his actions have damaged his Birmingham career, particularly as he had to watch from the sidelines as Phil Neumann and Christoph Klarer firmly established themselves as Davies' first choice centre-back pairing during his suspension, and as things stand, it looks highly unlikely he will receive regular minutes any time soon.

With that in mind, Robinson's return to Bramall Lane, where he previously made 162 appearances during a successful five-and-a-half year spell, could be the right move for all parties in January.
