I think Lee needs to be given the chance, I think SP will see this as a chance for Lee to stake his claim for the number 1 spot. I have seen a bit of Allsopp and I can't say I am entirely convinced.
Me neither on the Allsopp front, which leads me to think maybe this is a tactic of Oressley to give Burge a second audition kind of thing.
Certainly wasn't vocal when we conceded the corner that lead to the penalty on Saturday, and I know from what I've seen of Burge he would have been yelling at Clarke if he was in goal, and if he didn't hear the yell, he'd have yelled a bit louder!
Communication was the first thing I noticed about Allsopp, there were two other things I have noticed about Allsopp:
Kicking - Allsopp's kicking is woeful, distribution while the ball is on the floor is just ridiculous, only 3/10 passes he made on Saturday could have kept us possession other than that Bradford were being given the ball.
Handling - In fairness it's not just Allsopp, but the goal against Bristol Rovers was pathetic, but I worry about Allsopp coming for corners or anything coming from distance.
I'm wondering whether Allsop hasn't been given permission to play in cup games....will be interesting to see whether he's on the bench.
I would still expect Allsop to start on Saturday. I'm not a big fan on chopping and changing keepers,but cups would give Burge chance to get some proper game time.
If the intention is that Allsop is only here for half a season then that could be an accurate assumption.
Despite the reasons behind it I am glad Burge is getting a chance. Who knows what'll happen if he does well.
Wednesday....I'd be surprised if we rotated in the league, Burge will play in the cups I suspect. Cardiff will probably win tomorrow but with the JPT and FA Cup there is an opportunity for him to get game time.
No offense to the lad but think about it. If Allsopp was really decent Bournemouth wouldn't have let him go out on loan!

So... the corner was not clarkes fault in any way no? Clarke was aware of everything around him no?
Clarke was not trying to be too clever heading it back although Allsop was waving it out No?
Allsop didnt go mental at Clarke after heading it out of play no?
FFS some people.
Burge is quiet as a mouse, was at Nuneaton last season on loan, was in the friendly.

how come Beckham went on loan to Preston ?
I don't really see what playing Allsopp achieves. He doesn't appear to be that much better than Burge so we're basically developing someone else's player for them, what's in it for us?
If he does any good he'll be back at Bournemouth and we'll be back at square one. Remember if Burge doesn't get games he is free to leave, we could really shoot ourselves in the foot here and end up with them both playing elsewhere and having to look for a new keeper. Unless there's some deal to keep Allsopp permanently in January it doesn't' make much sense to me.
2nd keeper playing cup games happens alot. and so it should. they deserve some sort of competitive action.
