I love it when Burge makes a couple of decent saves people actually say he kept us in the game :lol:

That’s his job it’s what he gets paid to do.

Once again cost us last night.

No he isn’t a decent keeper for this level
So the fact he kept the 3rd highest % of clean sheets in the league this season for any keeper playing more than 35 games means nothing?

Who in this league would you have instead?

It means absolutely nothing. He’s made mistakes leading to at least 15-20 goals. We would have went up automatically if we had anybody half competent in goal.
 
He’s not consistent enough over a 46 game season. It’s why Coventry binned him.

He’s woeful every time the ball goes into the box too, completely different to Bursik in goal for Lincoln, he was confident and calm every time the ball came into the box.
Bursik is a young premier league keeper.

I'm talking about Burge compared to other league 1 standard keepers. He isn't a great keeper but no one at this level is

Like most of our squad there is a reason they are playing league 1 football and that's because they aren't great that doesn't mean he isn't one of the better (or perhaps less shite is a better description) keepers for this level

He’s not a premier league keeper though, he’s a young lad learning his trade at this level/championship when Stoke had the injuries

I couldn’t tell you, I barely know any keepers at this level. All I know is Burge is absolutely appalling because I’ve seen it with my own eyes.

I’ve genuinely seen kids on a Sunday morning make less basic errors than him.

Apologies a championship level keeper who has been given a coupe of emergency loans. Would Stoke have loaned him out for a full season God knows but that is an example of 1 keeper.

I'm not saying Burge is brilliant because he isn't my point is that at the level we are at he is one of the better keeper we could get in.

If he is here when we go up (this season or next) he needs to be binned off as he isn't Championship level

He is terrible but that's my point all keepers at this level are he is one of the best of a very bad bunch.

Would you be happy if we signed some Sunday morning keeper then as opposed to a professional keeper?

Burge is not a professional keeper. I’ve never known a goalkeeper be at fault for at least 15-20 goals in a single season. It’s absolutely scandalous.

But you admit you don't know much about other keepers at this level?

How many goals was Swindon's and the other relegated teams keepers to blame for? What about Fleetwood's & Accrington's respective goalkeepers?

Only Hull & Blackpool have conceded fewer goals than us this season and like it or not Burge played his part in that.

If we get rid of Burge I can see whoever comes i being as bad if not worse. It's why these player are playing in League 1 not the Championship or Premier league.
 
On a lighter note, he did jump up to catch the ball, then fell flat in his back the other week. Which I found hilarious and still makes me laugh. He did keep hold of the ball mind, so......
 
Burge wasn't to blame for the goal.

It was a weak backpass, and Flanagan was static once making it. He should have given him an angle. I'm coaching 10 year olds to do that ffs.

He was on loan to donny for the year but had to recall him due to injuries.

Coventry moved on from Burge because he was too error prone I don’t know why we are playing him as number 1

Do you honestly think other goal keepers at this level are better than Burge?

If so and we get rid of him in the summer and sign someone currently playing in league 1 be prepared for more of the same if not worse than what we have.

Yeah mate he’s terrible when he is exposed. Makes too many individual mistakes which is why Coventry got rid. They signed Donnys keeper and went up.

He is terrible when he is exposed but more or less every keeper is at this level.

The point am making (possibly very badly) is that for the level we are at he isn't as bad as some make out and my main concern is that if we do get rid of him as am 4th season in league 1 club (which is what we are) will we attract anyone better?

That's the problem with this league we have seen how poor/bang average Bridcutt & Honeyman are at higher levels yet at this level they are stand out performers

I get the argument but at the same time Coventry moved away from him because they thought they had to to get better. We signed him as second choice and then didn’t look to strengthen the keeper position when McLaughlin left. I do feel like we have weakened ourselves needlessly and I don’t see how rolling with a player we signed to be second choice is wise.
 
Flanagans fault end of
Was it fuck man aye it was a little bit light but it took burge ages to react and he didn’t have to blast the f***ing ball straight off him

He didnt have to kick the ball off the defender
