Joel Robles

[Number_25]

He's a good stop gap, but I don't think he can be our number one going forward.

What howlers has he made everyone? I had this discussion with my RS mate during the derby when he came on

He was rubbing his hands together at the prospect of Joel coming on, and I said "why, what has he ever done wrong"

he replied "dunno he is just s*** isn't he?"

I said, I think he gets a bad rap coz he always has his mouth open, and therefore looks a bit stupid/soft, but that is it

He let in a wickedly swerving shot from Gaston Ramirez in one of his first games, but I cant remember him doing anything else majorly wrong

I don't know if I have tinted specs on just because I have always rated him, but I he is deffo looking the real deal since he started closing his gob!! haha

I think its a lot simpler than many think.

He likes to punch when he should catch. Sends people a little twitchy.

When goal keepers punch a lot of the time trying to catch can be riskier, such as reaching across players, you don't want to risk spilling it right on the edge if the six yards box...etc
Joel is spot on with this stuff, he catches when he can and gets a lot of credit on how well he deals with crosses, but when he has to punch he will punch, he's quick thinking.

Love Robles! Boss keeper.

I don't want to look like a knee jerker. But, he's the best goalkeeper in the world.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Has been outstanding tonight

 

[Mickey]

I will take this time to state I always rated the boy.

 

[Seanjd]

Turned out he's just a boss keeper really didn't it?

 

[ijjysmith]

He's put on a bit of weight/muscle on I think and it's made a world of difference.

And not being trained by a Wigan goalkeeping coach.

Deserves a run until the end of the season. See what hes got and assess in the summer

Makes a world of difference! Haha!
