Mark, whatever you do next season, I implore you to find a new, experienced goalkeeper who is capable of playing 90 minutes without routinely conceding at least 2 goals (usually more) every game. And please release the two clowns who have stood in our goal this season and let them find their natural calling by wearing a red nose and a fluffy wig at the local circus.

Will he be here when he realises Fisher didn't keep his word?

Something tells me it's on his priority to-do list, he doesn't seem the sort of manager who's afraid to tell Oggy that his two proteges are shite.

Yes our keepers are poor neither can kick a ball but could be really have stopped any of those goals.
Poor defending led to both, funny how people are quick to blame the goalkeepers for poor marking and general defending.
Never saw them making mistakes therefore their keeper looked world class having nothing to do.

Get a new goalkeeping coach in as well.

I'd keep one of them as understudy, RCC because he's under contract, still young for a keeper.

You don't get it do you? A poor goalkeeper unhinges the entire defence.

He could have taken the ball that bounced in the 6 yard box for their first.

TBF RCC holds the record for consecutive clean sheets, so if you're gonna place all the blame on him for the shit, you've got to give him credit for that too.

yes most definitely... burge comes 2 or 3 foot off his line & he can punch away for the first goal, hell he might even have caught it!!.

Burge's massive problem is that he won't come off his line. a bunch of goals conceded this season are down his reluctance to come and claim balls or close down players one on one... he is a half decent shot stopper.

Next year we are a fourth division team we need one good experienced goalie and a young replacement.

I would get rid of Burge and Addai and maybe RCC as well as the coach.

He's been guilty of that 6-10 times this season at a guess. Dreadful keeper

RCC is slightly better than Burge but both are unreliable and are not what we need next season

Oggy was a very good goalkeeper in his day. now as a goal keeping coach does anyone suspect MR's is wondering what the hell is going on? Week in week out we face the same goal keeping frailties. He has to go. Thanks for the memory.

I think the bigger issue is that two totally unproven keepers were brought into the team. Both are National League level at best. I don't think Burge would be a first choice at Nuneaton or Leamington.

Burge is (marginally) better, hence why he gets picked. But both are clearly not good enough and hopefully we have a new number 1 for next season. One of them can stay as backup.

So two stupid mistakes by the same defender causing two goals to be conceded is now the fault of the goalkeeper?

We should get some better quality loan players from the Villa or Leicester i am sure as our neighbours they will be only too happy to help

Burge wasn't at fault for either goals today, but do admit his kicking was poor at times

Must say I have to agree with Paxman 11 same mistakes ever week not being put right. These are 2 young lads playing in a team very low on confidence and need more help than they seem to be getting from Oggy

Of course he was, should have been marking the player that none of the rest of them could be bothered with marking for the first goal.
As for the second well don't get me on that one......

At the end of the day we all knew we needed a decent keeper at the beginning of the season.
Our problem is in every department on the pitch, defence is poor midfield weak and strikers we have none.
says it all when your 2-0 down and have to rely on a player like Jones.
Shame but the best player on the park was released by us on a free last season.

I watched the Arsenal v Lincoln game. Even though they lost 5-0, the Lincoln keeper was pretty decent. he made a few really good saves and couldn't be blamed for any of the goals.
I'm sure there are some decent goalkeepers in non-league or L2.

I think R C C could be a good keeper with the right coaching. I hope next season an experienced keeper ie Joe Murphy is brought in to take the pressure off him plus a new coach.
