Don't be daft. Robles kept us in a game Vs Man City several times. He is the best keeper at the club and should play ahead of Howard regardless of what competition it is. Perhaps not MOTM but he played well and made some crucial saves.

I'm not the one being 'daft' here.

Thought his positioning was poor for their goal.

You can tell I'm not his biggest fan but he did well tonight, hope he gets a run in the team now.

Big if obviously, but if we get to the final and Robles plays Howard's going to be absolutely livid I reckon. Not that I'm remotely bothered by that.

can get to [Poor language removed] if he does, he's played no part in the run to a semi final, why should he expect to come in for a guy who got us there?

Doug must have an R missing on his keyboard!lol
Never mention Robles as yet - don't tell me Doug your grannies could have saved his saves tonight!

I just get the feeling he'll think he's been here years and deserves the chance at lifting the cup.

As you said though, he can do one.

yeah he did sort of howard it by diving away from the ball, but even the most optimistic of fan wouldn't give him a chance in that position. he stayed on his feet when they had that header from 6 yards and it went straight at him which was good to see imo.

he had a chance v chelsea and blew it, if he was brave enough to be honest with himself.

So you tag another member in about a post another member has made, clearly in an effort to wind up, and you say I'm being daft?

I think not. Pipe down or you too can find yourself banned.

I think he's going to turn out to be a top goalkeeper. No need to look elsewhere is my hunch. Cmon Bobby. Let him play rest of the season

First time in ages the entire defence actually looked organised and not panic stricken multiple times during the game, that alone maybe tells you where half our problems have lain at the back, Robles rest of the season please

Good luck with that happening mate

Ring master · January 6, 2016

still not certain about him,but my confident in him probably like some is growing,made decent save in 1st half did well really

Has to stay in the side though I've said that after every league cup game

Could of been a bit faster off his line for their goal to close the angle hesitated slightly can't blame him for that
his kicking from back passes the fella clears the halfway line and takes the pressure off, Howard just about clears the halfway line and constantly puts the defence under pressure
simple thing but makes so much difference the defence looks a lot more assured with him behind them
needs a run in the team
