Joel Robles

[RFUS]

Wasn't asked to do very much but that's often been the case with Howard of late, and he still manages to balls up.

This is his chance. I really hope he can seize it as Howard needs pressure putting on him. If Robles can finally have a few games for us and doesn't look any better, then we need to go out and sign a top keeper.

he had very little to do - his kicking clearances were ok!

The lad looks forward to Boxing Day every year.

He will do a howler against Newcastle, I really hope I'm wrong.

Probably the best situation really. Hopefully he'll feel a bit more confident and then with any luck he can have a good game against Newcastle.

Then he'll keep Howard out of the team forever and be the first keeper to win the ballon d'or since Lev Yashin in 1963....

*ahem

we've just got to get behind the fella,lets face it at the moment we have no alterative whatsoever!

 

[Zatara]

As long as he plays well enough to keep howard out of the side that's a positive.

Howard has been poor for a while. Robles did well for Wigan. I hope he can grasp this chance.

He has shown nothing for me but hopefully he takes his chance

He has been awful. I hope he can be better. Trying to be positive, at least it's not Howard!

 

[Seamus Colemole]

You know what will happen don't you.

He'll play a blinder in his games, then get dropped for Howard who goes back to stinking the place out.

Perhaps a tad hopeful, but I appreciate the thought process.

He'll punch the chance away for a corner

He can barely grasp the ball.
