His hard work at youth level was recognised by then Crystal Palace manager Dave Bassett, who promoted Robert to the first team squad which led to him making his debut with feollow youth team mate Danny Boxall on the last game of the season at home against Norwich City in 1996.

Palace were in the Play-Offs and due to injuries in the first team, Robert found himself in the starting line up to face Charlton Athletic in the Semi-final (Palace Won)Palace were through to the Play-off final at Wembley, due to players still being on the injury list Robert again was again picked to start against Leicester City which was a chance in a life time. Palace lost and were forced to carry on in the First Division for the 1996/97 season, where under Dave Bassett Robert was a regular in the team making 28 Appearances and scoring 2 Goals.
