Cornish Steve Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 He's not been great this season either. I think Schmeichel, Butland and Pickford, in that order, will be the best options. None of these, or Hart, have stats this season as good as Robles. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddock Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 point is the same; even the best mess up even when they're established, seasoned pros. Of course they do, everyone makes mistakes in all walks of life. The best make fewer mistakes and that's what we need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 None of these, or Hart, have stats this season as good as Robles. Just saying. I wouldn't get hung up on stats. There isn't a stat that shows which saves he should have made and which saves he made but had no right to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a stat that shows which saves he should have made and which saves he made but had no right to. This! He could have 6 saves a game but they are all tame shots that I would save or only face one shot a game but make a worldy with it. I prefer to judge by my eyes and Robles is nowhere near De Gea yet he's the same age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC11 Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 He's not agile enough. Looks as though he's carrying an extra stone on his thighs and arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to judge by my eyes and Robles is nowhere near De Gea yet he's the same age. and he never will be if he's not given a chance to develop Maybe a compromise. I see huge potential in him, have done since he was at Wigan. I'd tie him down to a new contract and loan him out for a season provided he was going to get first team football. My issue is that the names bandied around to replace him (Pickford, Forster, Butland) I don't know enough about because I don't watch them week in and out, and I'd be very surprised if there's someone here who does. Which makes me sceptical about spending mega money on other developing keepers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) He's been solid enough but does make daft mistakes. To get a keeper in of a better quality will cost a good chunk. If we can do that then fine. Edited April 17, 2017 by Hafnia Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Just a season ago, many were raving about Marshall. Did anyone notice where he stood in that table? Rock bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubecula Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 I think he is too fallible but no idea who we could realistically replace him with and is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) He's not agile enough. Looks as though he's carrying an extra stone on his thighs and arse.See I think he moves extremely well for his size. Countless times he's come off his line and smothered a 1v1 and he gets up and down to shots well. I still think he's constantly looking over his shoulder waiting to be dropped again despite performances ( Howard related ). I'd stick it out with him until the end of the season - I don't think he 100% believes in himself just yet because of how he had been dropped previous seasons and started as number 2. If there is anything we can all agree on - it's that his attitude and application throughout his years here have been nothing short of excellent and based on that and performances this year I think he should be number 1 for atleast the rest of the season and only replaced if we get a "loris" esq transfer.

StevO Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I'm not happy with Joel being dropped, but at least it wasn't sugar coated. Romey 1878, Lowensda and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Main difference when Joel come in, was the confidence in the players in front of him. He organises the team more and shouts a lot. Don't think Stekelenberg does enough to assure the players. Lowensda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddock Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I think this is proof if we ever needed it that we'll be getting a new no1 in the summer. Lowensda, MikeO and markjazzbassist 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Yep. They've both had chances. A new GK will be a target. It was always going to be. And note that Koeman referred to 'the last few weeks' regarding Robles, so it wasn't just a quick snap decision. He'd obviously grown concerned about his levels dropping.

captainbeaker Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 I still like him and he is still improving. yes he has made a few mistakes but even the best keepers do. With experiences the lapses in concentration will become less. I think there are other areas which need to be prioritised. Definitely worth a contract extension, whether he is offered one or he believes the manager rates him enough for him to want him to stay.

Aidan Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Would like to see him stay in the premier league if he moves away. Wouldn't mind seeing how he'd do at a mid table club, I believe he would progress Well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
