I would love Robbo to go to the WC, play brilliantly and get bought by someone for £10M.

Who need the third round of the FA cup with romantic notions like that.

How about...

I would love Robbo to go to the WC, play brilliantly and come back, finding some real form for Rovers, spurning other offers because he has a real appreciation of what's important in life, following his long illness, and knows the grass isn't always greener.

Both are pipe dreams but I think I'd prefer that version.

You'd prefer Robbo to stay and have a 'realisation on what's important in life', than make £10m on him and get him off the wage bill?

Christ Stuart I'm glad you aren't manager

They are pipe dreams James. You don't have to compare them with the current reality situation.

Or have either of the 2 keepers in the team and have no chance, however slim, of progressing towards the dream of premiership football?

Keep those daydreams alive Stuart! COYB!

[Baz]

3 clean sheets in a row for first time in 3 years.

[mac]

undefeated since robbo's return 8-)

4 clean sheets

[Stuart]

I think that's a lot to do with his experience and commanding of his defence.

Kilgallon has also been solid too.

Edit: we'll also excuse the defeat to City, considering he only played half the match

[DE.]

Absolutely no question we made a major mistake starting the season with Kean/Eastwood as our only available goalkeepers. Neither have the experience or quality necessary to positively influence the team and Kean in particular cost us a lot of points with some absolutely ridiculous mistakes.

Having Robbo back is fantastic but we really do need a better back up. Kean and Eastwood could both do with being loaned out to lower divisions and a keeper with some experience brought in to provide cover for Robbo.

Absolutely. Just think where we would be now-even with our "average" performances-without Kean's howlers.

[darrenrover]

Glad to see him back between the sticks

BUT

I hope it's not complacency but the last 10 days have reminded me of why Robbo was dropped 2 years ago in favour of Jake Keane.

I hope he gets a grip!

[roversfan99]

He was by far our best player on Wednesday.

[darrenrover]

No claim to fame really.

I presume that opinion's based on Robbo making 2 or 3 saves from distance?

Staple diet for goalkeepers

"From distance" being a one-on-one in the first fifteen minutes inside the six yard box...

He's had to do that a few times in the last week.

[Al]

He's been a shot in the arm. Even the best goalkeepers can't save everything that's thrown at them. Some folk are never happy.

[Amo]

Still prone to be being a Flappy McFlap-Flap, as the Burnley game proved.

Like I said on the other thread. I don't always agree with you.

That's okay. You can't be right all the time.

[roversfan99]

Robbo has had one poor game since coming back from a serious illness, the Burnley game.

Otherwise, and I think most regular attendees of matches will agree, he has been excellent since he returned, he has kept us in a few games eg Boro away, and has been our best player. He richly deserved his nomination for the player of the month award.

[pk1875]

I think Robbo also gives the defence more confidence, he bosses the goal area and constantly barks out instuctions, and his distribution is a deffinate improvement on the likes of Kean.

[Al]

That's okay. You can't be right all the time.

Any more smart arse remarks and I'll bring up non attendance again.

[Husky]

Finally found him, volunteering for next season:

[chor808]

Signed for Burnley!

[Madon]

Didn't see that one coming! He wasn't happy at being number 2 here so why would he want to go and sit on the bench at Burnley?!
