It was a bit weird bringing in another keeper because RCC was and still is under contract. Burge was out of contract, so we assumed he was going. Burge signed a new contract, so we still had both RCC and Burge. Makes it a bit puzzling as to why we signed O'Brien. Thought maybe RCC was leaving...

There will be several drafts of the script. No certainty at all that the leaked script is the final draft.

I should think Shrewsbury will probably rest some players too. After 2 defeats Robins will definitely experiment and change thinges around. The side I mentioned above will surely be competitive won't it? Don't think anyone is saying play all the kids. Players are playing for places, so I do...

And a lot less to just say it out loud.

Why? We have been outplayed by worse.

I think we all agree he has been nervy. That has affected the confidence of the back four and it could be argued that, that in turn therefore cost us points. It is clear that a back four play with more confidence when they have faith in the bloke in the goalkeeping jersey behind them.

Yeah, he made errors, but at least he controlled his area, or least tried to and was very verbal. Burge has always given the back four the jitters and has seemed very much like he hasn't been able to control the penalty area. I sincerely hope Burge does come good, but he has been very error...

Rest some players. Wembley is great, but focus has to be on the league and this will give us a chance to try a few things out. Burge (just because it WILL be) DKE Willis Hyam Camwell Vincenti Stevenson Doyle Jones Andreu Nazon or Biamou or Thomas

That was surely handball for that second goal. Shame they didn't show the disputed penalty incidents.

Rose tinted? :) You do know that Oggy was known as 'Flapper' throughout the M&B Stand don't you? ;) I thought Oggy was a very good keeper, but I would say the rose-tinted notion has been applied just as much to the big man as it was to Glazier. Think Oggy was the better shot stopper, but...

But it matters not if it's Oggy's fault or not. Bottom line is surely that Burge is not the keeper for a promotion chasing team. RCC is too hot-headed. O'Brien came in, commanded his area, looked assured on crosses and constantly organised his back four. It's the two dreadful mistakes in a row...

He has disappointed me greatly. So many of his shots are wayward and at times he seems most reluctant to shoot at all.

In my opinion Glazier was 10 times the goalie Oggy ever was. Different times though for sure. The difference between Glazier and Oggy for me was that rather than dive and palm away, Glazier would dive and actually catch the ball, so imagine a shot blasted in with the keeper stretching. Most...

Yeah, but thing is on the poll, so many contributors would have never have seen Glazier play, as they would have been too young. Had they seem him play I am very certain the result would have been different.

Crosses were definitely Oggy's Achilles heel. Great shot stopper and very good command of his area, but poor on crosses and bad on distribution.

Well true. I would have definitely said that O'Brien was an improvement on what we had, but these two errors have concerned me. I would think it now logical for Burge to come in on Tuesday. Unless he has a mare I think he will stay in. What I don't get is that he is 24 and we have had him...

So you think Robins is wrong on this one then? You've clearly said many times you think Burge isn't good enough.

Not to my mind he hasn't and it is Burge I am talking about when I say 'what's the point of him even being here?' Think you agree Burge isn't good enough. So why's he still here?

Kelly's challenge for that second goal is non existent. He just seems to track the player half-heartedly into the box. Two very poor goals and O'Brien had no right into thinking he even had a chance of getting to that ball.

I wonder if Oggy had any say so in bringing O'Brien to the club. If Burge comes back in it will be interesting to see just how much Oggy has improved him. If he isn't improved at all, then you have to say what's the point him even being here. If we have a good goalkeeping coach we should at...
