1 goal to our 2

Agree totally with what you say. I put the original post on late last night, having watched the errors made by those keepers, and was highlighting that when a keeper makes a mistake, it (usually) results in a goal conceded - although you correctly point out that's not always the case! I have...

Burge didn't do what he's paid to do, and neither did JCH, irrespective of how far the poor cherub had to run before blasting it wide.

Anyone fancy a new keeper? De Gea, Pickford (x2, plus the circumstances in giving away the penalty that he saved), Dubravka and Heaton might all be available after making dreadful mistakes costing goals this weekend. I wonder what the Man Utd, Everton, Newcastle and Burnley forums made of them?

I tried to put it in a way you might understand. I have not blamed the forwards for Burge's mistake (and it was undeniably dreadful) at Walsall. To clarify, what I meant was that if JCH had scored when he was clear through on goal and hit it past the post (or a couple of the other pretty good...

SOME "fans" have spoken. How many goals has Burge given away this year? I have counted 3, 2 of which wouldn't have happened in the course of the game if the forwards could do their jobs and score in 1 on 1 situations (Walsall away and last night). Or, to put it in a way in which you might...

Last night's second goal was, I think the second goal all season that can be directly attributed to a fault by Burge. He was very poor last night, but his error, and his questionable communications with his back four led to many worrying moments. As far as distribution is concerned, he was not...

Except that if it had been Stockdale, you'd have been saying that it was a top save, that Burge would not have saved. I think we are all agreed that it would be best to find a more commanding keeper, but, as it stands, who would sign for a Club that could easily not be around next season....

The fact that the Luton man had a free header in the 6-yard box with no defender anywhere near him has been completely forgotten about in the rush to blame Burge for every goal we concede. Yes, he could/might have done better, but the pace on the header was enough to beat most keepers. Overall...

Good article on the BBC football site about Jay Bothroyd, who is now playing in Japan...... Always felt his attitude was bad, but that he had potential to be a good player

I have previously pointed out that, while Burge was totally to blame for Walsall's first goal - not the second though - the game should have been over a long time before that but the forwards, including JCH missed numerous chances. But hey, let's just concentrate on one (of the many) players you...

On the back of the above argument/discussion, I've just watched the highlights of all 27 League games in which Burge has played so far this season. He's had 4 clean sheets, and conceded a total of 33 goals. Of those, I would place him totally at blame for just 1 - the first Walsall goal, with...

While on holiday in Zimbabwe I read a "Best of Zimbabwe" book in the hotel, and there was a brilliant two-page spread on Nuddy, giving a lot of detail on his CCFC career, and picturing him in the old pale blue kit. People over there all wanted to talk about him when I mentioned I was from...

Ex Sky Blues Legend, Nick Proschwitz, now playing for SV Meppen in 3rd Tier of German football, scored twice as Meppen came from 2 - 0 down after 82 minutes to beat KFC Uerdingen 3 -2

Just got in from the game and read through the whole thread - this one takes top prize in the "can't praise certain players whatever they do" category. You praise the "nice patient play from Kelly", but just can't bring yourself to acknowledge the part played by Chaplin - the run into space, the...

If Thomas does go back to Derby in January, would it help Bayliss if he were to go back out to the right side/wing, as per last season?

Gosh, it's taken you a long time to get involved in this - just watched the highlights on the TV? You have a point, in that JCH made the chance for himself, by doing his job, but then he missed that chance which he should have scored, and Burge's attempt was a shocker, but can be balanced...
