Its got to be between Robbo and Green, Kirkland isn't playing at the mo, Carson is shocking for England and isn't Kiely playing at the mo, Hart hasn't played since Christmas.

I think Robbo will be in the squad but Green will get the nod.

I would need to see it again but my initial impression was today's save was up there in the top 3 of all time alongside Banks v Pele and Montgomery for Sunderland v Leeds in the 73 Cup final etc.

Another good game by Robbo.

It wasn't just his save - which I'm sure everyone thinks was outstanding - that impressed me but his all round game has improved vastly. He seems a lot stronger when coming out for balls, especially high crosses into the box. He looked very composed and assured. In the last few months he's shown that reliability which seperates decent keepers from very good ones.

On this form we don't need to look at a new keeper whatsoever. Here's hoping that he continues in this form for a long time to come.

Today is turning out to be one of the best feel-good days in years.

Well deserved. His save today was absolutely brilliant.

Let's hope it lasts until tomorrow...

Fantastic save by Robbo today. No idea how he pulled it off. His confidence is growing each week. He was commanding when coming for corners and caught the ball cleanly every time he went for it.

Completely agree, finally Robbo is looking assured, confident and competent, long may it continue.

Well pleased for Robinson.

He's always been a world class keeper in my opinion - his confidence took a knock for England after that "every keeper's nightmare" pitch bobble own goal, and then he had to endure the Ramos era at Spurs. I think Juande's coaching staff should be blamed for his dip in form that brought him to us in the first place - look at Gomes now compared to the start of the season.

Robbo looked top drawer today, he's lost a lot of weight since joining us and his reflexes are sharper than ever. He also commands his back line at least as well as Friedel ever did.

Stunning save today. Friedel-esque. Thats the biggest compliment any Rovers keeper could get.

Great minds....... A comparison that I posted on the WBA thread. Robinson has regained his confidence under Sam.

I just wish that Capello had not selected him to go to the England training camp which has preoven to be a nest of vipers for BRFC in the past

Robinson has "been there, done that". He won't have his head turned by the "glitz" like younger players and new call-ups often do. I think it can only be good for his confidence to have these performances recognised. One of the few positives legacies from the Ince era, a very good piece of work.

I am so chuffed for Robbo, because he has worked so hard this season, even when some of our fans were getting on his back for "not being friedel" but hopefully now they will be recognising him as "robinson" and he own player who can hopefully build a legacy like brad did!!!

I slated him for most of this season but (unlike many round here) I'll hold my hand up and say he's proven me wrong. Well done Robbo.

He's a bloody joker. Has any other manager attempted to be successful by buying previously sold players.

I presume Sam will tell him to go whistle.
