Villa is the perfect game for Martinez to bring Howard in with the minimum damage (away and an easy game)... That is when we will have a definitive answer.... my guess is Howard will be back in goal for it unfortunately...

Since when has an away game against a relegation threatened team been easy?

Play our best goalkeeper in every game for me. Not like they run about or anything. And that is, by a mile, Robles.

I'm hoping not, and that Martinez will talk his way out of the situation he's put himself in. He seems to be preparing for a "I can't drop Robles now" moment , but maybe that's wishful thinking !

not sure about that, Villa have put up a bit of a fight recently, which i hope they continue with over the weekend, i can see them wanting to put off the mathematical doom for as long as they can.
 
Sorry Dave, have to disagree with you there. It doesn't matter if Howard's fit or not, barring an injury to Joel, Robles will start against Bournemouth.
I hope you're right mate, because that tournament is our season and I'd hate to see it rest in Howard's hands.

Hopefully we see Robles start every game now. But observing Martinez's MO at Wigan and here, he's opted for a division of labour over cup and PL duty for his keepers.

You're wrong to say that any game in the PL will be easy

Couldn't agree more... shame the manager probably doesn't.

And Villa are adrift at the bottom for a reason...
 

The bad vibes on here for Howard contrasting with the free ride Stoned gets sums up the state of Everton fans at the moment! Sad.
Stones has had anything but a free ride? Loads on here acknowledging the results have improved since both Howard and Stones haven't been playing. The difference is that Stones will likely improve his defending as he's only young and still learning where as really Howard will only get worse now. I don't think any evertonian would pick our starting lineup for the next game with either player in it though even if both fit.
 
The man literally has a song celebrating him being out of the team. Absolutely all else aside, surely the psychological impact of that on the team means his experience/dressing room status is negated.
