Autos are still on the cards! lol

The stats speak for themselves. His positives outweigh his negatives. The consensus is that he's a v good shot stopper but makes needless mistakes. All GKs do, even De Gea looked a fool when he first came to Man U. Even Westwood wasn't the complete package, and he's the best GK to play for us...

I can't even imagine the vitriol Burge would receive had he done that. That'd probably be justified too! It was just an absolute gift of a goal! Even the Wycombe GK's attempt to save McNulty's first goal (at home, 3-2) was pretty poor, it wasn't a particular powerful, nor well placed shot - the...

You’re being very blaisé about his achievements. He’s managed to convince most managers in L2 that he is the best GK in the division. He’s made mistakes, but so have other GKs, no one here, can realistically scope what he’s up against. The actual football people, who do have a realistic scope of...

Well no, you said not signing a senior GK (btw, that’s v vague) ‘one of Robins’ only recruitment errors’ — which implies you mean a first choice as what senior GK would be happy benching? Yes you I think you are asking too much. He’s a L2 GK, and can by every metric, a top 3 GK in the league...

Absolutely! On a similar note, if no one in our team had ‘lapses’, we’d be top of the league with 0 losses! Imagine if McNulty, JCH or Biamou never missed any of their chances?!

He is very much still the focus of the thread. When you make the claim that one of Robins’ ‘only’ recruitment errors was not signing a GK, when our current GK has been named in L2 TOTY — that doesn’t seem to quite add up. At worst, he’s not actually the best in the league, but he’s ‘up there’...

Despite all the ‘moments of madness’, and the mistakes that led to goals, he was still voted by other L2 managers to have been the best GK they have seen all season. Managers, who, unlike the vast majority of us on here, has seen every GK play against their team and the name who stuck out for...

Or would it...? BBC News - Can alcohol help a football team's performance?

Oh, and Bayliss. A significant of people seen your twitter antics on that! Pick your next youngster to pick on, he’ll probably end up being a superstar too!

‘one of Robins' only recruitment errors thus far and we need a senior keeper in pronto’ We’re in a league with an abundance of ‘senior keepers’, yet our GK has been judged by fellow football managers, not statistics, to be the best in the league. He’s made 3 howlers which he has directly led to...

Is there anymore left? Just got back in from work and gutted I could be missing out on this

It’s not for sure either way. It’s certainly a silver lining of his injury! Leeds were in for him, so I think even if we sold him, there was a chance we’d get him back on loan. Or failing that, we’d free up resources or at least have a bit (not a lot) of any transfer fee (I think we’d have held...

I don’t like the ambiguity! Attempting to apply some common sense, you’d think it was an extension on his contract which I assume would’ve expired at the end of the 2016/17 season. So that would mean it would expire at the end of of 18/19 season. Most youth contracts have a year option too...

What do the other managers of the league know? We've got a few ex-GKs who maybe played a god-awful standard on the odd-Sunday who now it all!

Bear in mind, we’re playing away to Notts County... playing 4-3-3 might not be the best idea. Or playing Biamou on the wing for that matter, he’s just not a wide player at all. A narrowish 4-3-3 against Crawley or Stevenage, but not away to the team with the least amount of losses. Also, if...

Had the team been announced at the end of the season, he may have got it. Accrington have conceded 2 less than us, but that was before we went and conceded 6 on Monday and voting obviously had been by then. It does seem that every other week, our GK, be it Burge or LOB, seems to pull off a...

Yeah, only an ex-Ireland international in Forde, and a former championship and Czech international in Stech. #BurgeOut

Leon Barnett was horrendous that game. I’m usually someone who stays till the final whistle. But that game I had enough after about 70m — utterly pathetic performance and probably the earliest I’ll ever leave a match!

Armstrong was stuck on 18-19 for about a month or two. McNulty scored a hat trick 2 games ago. He’s still scoring roughly 1 every 3 games — which is perfectly fine. His 18 goals in 36 appearances equates to a goal every 2 games. Scoring a goal every 162 minutes, more than Eisa (165m), and equal...
