Joel Robles

[PhilM]

I may be wrong, but Joel's antics yesterday along with other actions recently show he's more akin to a fan than your run of the mill footballer.

He wears his heart on his sleeve and obviously felt as agitated and concerned as many of the fans were behind him, but he had to keep on playing.

Anyone got a link/gif of Robles telling the crowd to calm down and booting the ball?

Think we need to get him signed up to a new and improved contract. His expires next year.

Wow, has no one else pointed else that after he kicks it, he says "Toma Eso, Park End WOOLS"

Three quality stops in first half injury time, at 3-1 and at 3-2.

Not sure about going out feet first for the second though.

needs a new contract now.

Agree with the feet first, seemed a little odd but I don't think he had a chance for it either way.

Each time Joel steps in for someone he starts shaker and over a run of games improves and becomes steady.

So is he good enough for number 1 next season?

The players need to stop calming the fans down, last season stones and Howard done this and both never got forgiven by a section of the fans. Hope the same doesn't happen to Joel.

When you see who City and Liverpool have playing in goal for them Joel doesn't look a bad option. If a first class keeper becomes available in the summer then we should take him but if not then there's no need to trade out Joel.

Yes. Unless we can buy an absolute top notch goalie, I'm happy with Robles.

He's very young for a goalie don't forget - he'll improve with experience. In fact, when given a chance, when has he let us down?

I like him. They'd have equalised without him on Saturday. A good goalie earns you points and he appears to.

...he's brilliant in those one-on-one situations, you almost take it for granted when he saves them but they are crucial.

Maybe a big influence on him has been the addition of the new keeper coach this season, certainly seems to be punching a hell of a lot less and taking crosses instead, combined with seems to be coming at the striker and narrowing the angle (making himself big i guess) and looks miles better as a result of it.

Get a real top quality centre back pairing (3) in front of him and could be the keeper we are all wanting ultimately.

Becoming a big fan of his!

 

[Bud McBlokeski]

I think he is our most improved player.
