Robinson's Return to form

What a joy it is to see Robinson's return to form especially last night against City.

Excellent saves.

He said he has his confidence back and that is why he's playing so well. A bit of circular logic there.

But he must surely have lost a stone weight in the past month. He certainly looks leaner. And he's suddenly getting a touch to balls that were previously slipping past his fingers.

Great news.

But how did it come about, who's responsible, why didn't he lose the weight while Jol was on the job, and is Huddlestone also going to resurrected in a new leaner form.

similar to England No 1 thread :shrug:
Had a quick look through the threads but missed the England No 1 thread :oops: . Could be worse... missing a shot at 5 a side on a Thursday night.

Re Robinson's weight:
Was the tea lady fired as well. Perhaps she was feeding Robbo too many jam doughnuts.

BEN posted on FTL recently that Robbo had some problems in his personal life. He didn't go into detail, but if those have been sorted out we are certainly seeing the benefit now.

It's strange, because everyone was excited when he signed that 7-year contract a couple of years ago. It's the old class/form debate. He hasn't suddenly become a bad 'keeper, he's just had poor form.

A lot of goalkeepers go on to excel in their mid/late 30s so we may not have seen the best of him yet.

I reckon this 'keeper is a keeper.

Credit where credit is due and all that. Robbo did all was asked of him last night, a real commanding performance, two world class saves, and he even left his line to catch the ball, obviously his confidence is on the way back. Well played Robbo keep up the good work...:grin:
