Joel Robles

[carolinablue232]

Do you mean his first game back heading for a draw and he palmed the ball away straight to him for him to score costing us a point, by gifting the ball to William on the edge of the box - Doug thought that was ok?

He punched a couple yards outside his 18, Willian hit a low drive, Howard was screened, and the ball was deflected. Let's not romanticize here. Also, this is not about Robles at all. Let's leave the T-How bashing to the T-How bashing thread.

He was like Southall out there yesterday. What a man.

You can't beat a bit of bashing, Tim was quoted on this thread bashed as compariing chalk in him with Robles nice cheesy grin !lol

Cmon lads. I don't like Howard as a keeper either but that Chelsea goal wasn't his fault.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Robles isn't the answer IMO, but he's not played badly enough to be dropped

Howard hasn't had a good game since Spurs away

To me, it's only fair that Joel becomes first choice until he does something deserving of being dropped

Let's face it, we will be getting a new keeper eventually. Robles and Howard are competing over a secondment position. The real #1 will be here eventually

Joel will lift the cup at Wembley, and Tim will become little more than a bad memory/smell to erase from the club

 

[Zatara]

Just hope he keeps his place in the cups at least...

Robles should play against Palace. It shouldn't even be a discussion.

 

[toffeejack]

not even sure why people bother discussing it, the large majority of us know what's right, but sadly the manager doesn't. Howard wasn't dropped after being totally useless last season, a couple of bad ones this season isn't going to see him dropped.

Will be poor though if Robles is dropped from the cup side after getting us there.

i don't think martinez will do that. if he did, you just know howard would cock up somewhere and we'll get knocked out by that goal.

You're kidding yourself Jack, he'll do the right thing and play his strongest line up against City.

Maybe the Gwladys needs to start doing a ".....you're XXXX aahhh!!!!" as he takes a goal kick

Howard had his chance against city this year, and cocked it up, doesn't deserve to play in the semi
