Roberts is 10 times better than the Former Foreign Cook so why do fans want the clown of keepers between the posts when Roberts has proved to be adequote at this level?

Kuipers is easily good enough at this level, but that's not to say Roberts shouldn't play. They should both be given equal status, and made to fight for their place in the team. Competition can only be healthy for both of them.

And if FG says Kuipers shouldn't play, then to me that only proves he should.

Tell me FG, staying away from why Roberts is so good, tell me why FDM isn't good enough. Was beyond doubt the best keeper in Div 2 in 2001/2.

Or is FG just fishing?

FG cannot bear success as he has nothing to moan about.

So fishing ...

Roberts will be in goal for the season baring injury or suspension.
Why...because he's better than Kuipers.
Simple as that.

No idea what your argument is FG but I'm 100% sure it's bollox

Kippers cant even kick a ball straight or with any welly that alone is good enough reason for Roberts or for that matter anyone else to replace him. Roberts has played at a higher level and include also not forgetting the valuable training sessions he would have had with far more quality and experienced players. There is no choice its chosen automatically always Roberts never Kippers.

PS I was very happy with the win at Oldham as I have predicted them for promotion though the opening game as seen last season cant go by a lot and they were robbed nevertheless at end day we got the 3 points its a start and im very happy with that.

Since when has being able to kick straight been a priority for Albion keepers:-
Nicky Rust
Mark Ormerod
Mark Walton
Mark Cartwright
Will Packham
Michel Kuipers

What is it with our keepers' names beginning with M (N is a broken M and W is arse-uppards)

and all the above were no good too im grateful that Roberts at least looks like an average keeper something we've lacked in past, though its early days im confident he will be more than ok at this level and hope we never see Kippers the clown in goal again!

As for not kicking a ball straight as a keeper not being important thats like saying so long as Leoon can head the ball thats ok never mind if he cant direct it towards goal!
