Yes I know - he has just told Robles you have had a great game you have improved in training so I am immediately going to reward you by announcing 5 minutes after the game your dropped for Sunday - Bad management imo!

....don't disagree over Robles, let's hope RM plays him on Sunday.

Already said Howard is playing
Yes he waited a whole 5- 10 minutes to tell the press disgusting Management - At least he could have kept fat Sam Guessing on Sunday as a tactic - Crass Management of junior levels!
He played well last season for three prem games kept 3 clean sheets yet the Howard lovers only a few on here now thought it was justified{ even on his return Howard was awful} so nothing changes with RM IMO it could be his death knoll!
...sorry, hadn't realised that. RM is the manager and will be judged on results. I'd have gone with Robles.
It was bad enough the decision , but to announce it to the press 5 mins after the game?????????????????????

Maybe Joey, but Coleman was put straight in, me not convinced he was 100% match fit. mind we are short of players in that position so that may have had some influence om his selection.

Personally I'm hoping it's all smoke and mirrors. Make Fat Sam plan to mortar bomb our 6 yard box with Howard in goal only to play Robles.
He's made some dodgy calls in his time Martinez but announcing his goalkeeping decision within minutes of last night's game ending seems ludicrous.
Watch this space to quote our fearless leader.

Yes, a fully fit Baines has to come back into the team,
And Garbutt will presumably be back up left back when he comes back from Fukham.
Brendan had done well but he has been makeshift and his future lies at CB.
Same wuth Tylas over on the other flank.
This is not the same conversation as the Joel/Timmy one.
Baines's performances before his injury had not dipped the way Howard's have.
If Timmy had been playing well no one would have any problems with him coming back in on Sunday despite Joel's match winning performance last evening.
Ludicrous indeed.
Whether it is justified to bring Timmy back or not, Martinez should not have said that right after the game last night.
All's it did was rain on Joel's parade.
And I don't care even if he was asked a direct question on TV, he could have just said he will pick the team closer to the date.
Yes put straight back in agree not 100% fit worryingly not able to make the bench last night!
It is almost like he needed to re-assure Tim Howard or sommat.
I suppose it is only human for Tim to have watched Joel's display last night with mixed emotions.
But it looks to me like Bobby felt the need to stroke a very fragile ego.
You mean our manager Baldrick has a cunning plan?

Insane to not play Robles on Sunday. Proved himself last night to deserve a chance. When he came in or howard season before last after Howard was sent of, he got 3 clean sheets in 4 games including the derby where he was very good. His distribution last night was absolutely fantastic. MOTM and gets told instantly afterwards that the poor form keeper of around 2 years now will start.
