I'm content with him as backup.

Still need a new keeper.

Don't think he'd be content with backup for much longer. A player good enough to be starting for a team in our position.

Other than a flapped corner, Robles had another good game.

Can't believe that someone on here only gave him a 5 rating. Good shot-stopping,
quick and long clearances.

If we are aiming to be top4 then we need to attract a top top keeper.not easy to do but that's what we need.Robles is better than howard in meantime.

Last night was what would have happened at Bournemouth and Chelsea if Robles had played in those games

But fewer than half of them found an Everton player. I'd much rather him kick it short and keep possession than have him launch it upfield right to the other team's central defender.

HAHAHA for crying out loud

He mostly did quite well, apart from that complete mess he made at one corner.........

Better than standing still on your line the Timmy way, but look apart from one blip,he had a reasonably good game made two very good saves with his hands - a run of games will settle him down hopefully to see just how good he is potentially going to be for us, miles better than Timmy , but that's not hard is it?
Our defence he was rollicking them too as they defend far too deep!

Knowing our luck the rapids will nab joel and leave us with flappy.
They can't be serious offering flappy a 3 year deal

With this squad a decent manager woud be fighting for the title this season

....I think Robles continues to do fine. The back four look more solid with him in goal. Saying that, I wouldn't be surprised if a new no1 is on RMs shopping list in the summer.

Spot on.

I'm sure when he flapped at that corner Tim smiled and thought "I could have flapped like that in my prime ffs"

The save low down to his right on 24 mins from westwood,was a Brilliant save

He was organising them at corners too. Simple things like that make you realise just how poor things had become.

There's going to be the odd mistake in him and I doubt he'll ever be one of the very top keepers, but the more he plays, the more I like him. Something I never thought I'd say after his display at Barnsley.

Any keeper who has come through th ranks alongside Degea is worth a run in the team standing at 6 ft 6 tall will hopefully
Blossom with a run of games - Robles just does the basics right, which shows as you stated how bad Timmy had become still need to defend a wee bit higher as Roblescan command his box far better than dithering Timmy!
