If he's managed to earn a contract at a Championship club fair play to him. It would be a step too far and he'll most likely find himself warming the bench for the majority of the season but why not take the chance whilst it's there. There's little we can do about that in relation to matching wages offered. Not that i'd be overly bothered anyway, very replaceable IMO.

I don't think it's just a case of being replaceable or not. If were serious about a promotion push next season, we need a keeper who is better than Burge. That is just a plain and simple fact.

Will have to watch it again. If Burge had made a call for it he wouldn't have had to try and run so far to get to it.

Didn't Robins say that Burge shouted "keepers" or something similar. If so, then it's down to Burge.

That's the point I was getting at really. I think we've consolidated with the GK position for a number of seasons now and I think it's time for a change. Don't get me wrong Burge has done well over the past two seasons but realistically he's a mid-table League One GK and is unlikely to improve further. It's easier said than done obviously but if we're to move forward then MR needs to prioritise bringing in someone better.

It may have been someone’s else that shouted and if Willis had headed it back to him it would have been fine rather than the limp header given. That said it’s got to be cleared and for that it’s willis and no one else

I hope he didn't, cos that would have meant he had double vision.

Burge , followed be Willis, followed by Bayliss and possibly homeless in the summer.

The joys of being a Cov City supporter .

If he has signed a pre contract then we should try Addai in a few games. If his head was turned in early December......

We should get an emergency loan keeper.

It isn't a position to piss about with.

I feel Burge has improved a fair bit over the last 18 months, so it'll be a big loss if he goes in summer.

It will only be a big loss if we can't adequately replace him I would say.

I think we should be fine.

Just don't think it will prove to be too big a loss.

Not like trying to replace a 20
goal a season striker, that's what I meant.

Don't think we will have any trouble at all picking up a decent keeper.

Only try Addai if we are safe mathematically.

He is just approaching his peak, the next club will benefit from that, we've given him the experience and it looks like we've failed to get a transfer fee. Can't win them all I suppose.

Burge would certainly be a loss, though I feel his part to play in the equaliser on Saturday came before Willis touched the ball. Burge had a set piece and instead of hitting the ball towards the corner flag, he hit it straight to their keeper. Long punt up field and the rest is history.

He really can't win can he.
If he had of kicked out towards the corner and it went out for a throw he would have got shit distribution get him off.

At that point in the game it's preferable to giving them easy possession back, but I understand your point

I think the issue is where he is aiming the kick.

If he was aiming for one of our players and it went out of play then yes, it's shit. If he is aiming for the corner and it goes out of play for a throw in by their corner flag then it's understandable.

It's obvious really.

Burge to owls is surely nonsense. After westy they've got 2 younger keepers who are really highly rated. Unless all 3 are off burge will be going to be third choice
