Wow, there's some utter Balloons posting in this thread tonight.

Why not just go the full distance and tell us the TRUTH1
Bobby's only picking Tim because they are both really Lizards from a dimension at a slightly different frequency to ours who are feeding off Goodison's hate and fear?
If he picked Joel they would die of starvation.

Don't be silly

that's what i'd want him to do. but martinez, and many other managers have their league keeper and their cup keeper. If robles becomes the league keeper that means howard becomes the cup keeper?

i honestly think martines would stick with robles for the rest of the league cup even if he became the league keeper to be honest.

why ain't one or the other just the feckin' keeper?

Probably because it's seen as a way of giving the back up some level of fitness so that should the first team keeper get injured or have a patch of bad form the back up can step in without as many problems as there might be if he's fresh off the bench without gametime. Makes sense to me

Don't be fatuous lizards are cold-blooded animals they wouldn't survive in another dimension.

Sat really close to the goal in the Gwladys street yesterday, and Joel was really really loud, for the entirety of the first half. This is even with him having almost nothing to do. Never noticed it with Howard, could this be why the defence are noticeably more confident with Joel behind them?

Said it for years, Howard simply never opens his mouth.

Definitely part of it imo.

Only after the game! He talks a good game!

Definitely a huge factor, Howard simply doesn't communicate with the defence. It was noticeable last season when he got a run in the team how much more Joel talks to his defenders.

Spot on that - a quiet goalie is a liability to his defence...

He has got to keep his spot for the league games for me. If I was Martinez, I'd say you have now until the end of the season to prove you are my number one.
