Burge

[alicante mackem]

We desperately need pace. However, getting a proper goalkeeper should be our main objective.

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Reminded me of Escape to Victory.
When they stick Sylvester Stallone in goal.

is he available?

 

[Billy Fish]

The biggest puzzle was what he was pleading to the ref over. He had absolutely no excuse for doing what he did.

 

[Definitely Maybe]

Abiding memory of him last season was parrying a cross into the middle of the 6 yard box for Burton to score. Could argue Graham and O'Brien are upgrades on Lafferty and Semenyo but Burge is certainly a downgrade on McLaughlin.

He’s not dead and is only in 60s so there’s a couple of positves

 

[Sid]

He's absolutely f***ing shite. Coventry fans warned us and we were given a glimpse of that in the 4-5 against them.

I think we’ll see a big drop off in keeper performance so we’ll need to score more goals to counter it out

 

[hertsmackem]

Can’t win the league unless you have a good goalie, we have 2 goalkeepers and neither are any good. Both are accidents waiting to happen

Where did people get the idea he is solid from? Coventry fans told us he was shite

 

[JAWS]

Reminds me of the clowns we had in goal in Championship. We will fail again if he doesn’t buck up his ideas. Didn’t think we could sign keepers as bad as the bunch we had in the Championship but both of them look error prone.

 

[G Force]

And the “other one” has so far managed to throw the ball in our goal and a weak & poor kick straight to the opp leading to a pen

Genuinely hope we haven’t the new Steele & Camp combo for the season.

We’d been pretty solid with keepers for decades, and all of a sudden they’re looking problematic the past few years. Losing McLaughlin could be a big blow

 

[WildinHetton]

Plus the fact he's basically to small. Compare him him to the monster at the other end today and its just a plain fact its another team choice the manager got wrong today.

 

[BiddickHallBootBoy]

Christ, we've got another duck egg between the sticks.

Absolutely gash, without a crowd on his back!

 

[hodge1973]

Remember the time when people thought he was better than Mclaughlin, Absolute car crash of a keeper.

 

[robbied1]

Been saying this along, I got dogs abuse from some posters

 

[Turnip from the Tip]

People should lay off him. Tough place to play, the stadium of light

 

[threepenny bits]

Has a team ever won a league with a shite keeper?

 

[Johnny on the spot]

Is Lee Camp not looking for a club?

My memory of him is being absolutely bang average at everything, but having a long kick. He played in the early cup games last season and people were saying he was playing well, but I just didn't see it, didn't see him save anything anyone bang average wouldn't have. Cov fans warned about his handling but said he was a good shotstopper but I don't think we've seen real evidence of the latter yet. For me an out of form Jon Mc last season was a step above him, I was hoping I was wrong but he's not inspiring any confidence yet, hoping Matthews is decent.

87 we won the third division with Iain Hesford, who was far from good.
