New Triallist: Jamie Robba

[tufcpopey]

With Scott Corderoy now playing for Stoke Gabriel, and Grant Fisher focusing on his role at Buckland Athletic, we are in need of a good keeper to provide back up and competition for Brendan Moore.

I see that Cory Harvey is still on trial, however we have another goalkeeper training with us.

Gibraltar International Goalkeeper Jamie Robba has joined up in training and may get some playing time in the pre season left.

Looking at his record, he has played at an average level and has played against Scotland and Croatia so should be a decent back up and could do a job if Brendan Moore gets injured or can't play for any reason. He would also be a good cup keeper to give Brendan a rest.

Bearing in mind he has played for Gibraltan sides Lynx and College Europa and French side US Le Pontet, he should be quite a cheap option.

He is 182 cm (6ft) (which is a darn sight better that Harvey) and looks like he can command his box better due to his physical stature.

Look at the video below: looks like he has bloody good right peg on him, which again is a lot better than Harvey judging by his kicking at Saltash.



I see the link is Herrera, and is another Gibraltan keeper we have been linked with as we were linked with Matthew Cafer last season (also plays for College Europa) in the Gibraltan league. One of the videos is him playing against Lincoln Red Imps, and if they can beat Celtic, then he cant be too shabby.

Would like to see him get some game time against Plymouth, and see what he does against a decent strikeforce.

Judging by Gibraltar's scorelines, he knows his area well - especially the back of the net!

Looks confident with crosses - catching rather than punching needlessly. Quick to throw the ball out, and accurate kicking. A helpful video, and interesting to see him perform.

Against Tiverton he hesitated on all the crosses but in all fairness it was his first game.

Seemed solid from crosses and for a no. 2, not a terrible shot stopper, obviously got international experience (albeit for Gibraltar), can't be a bad thing to have around the younger lads
