Hpw many cluba burge been at?
Hpw many cluba burge been at?Burge can still prove he can eradicate them. I have no idea how many managers LoB has had during his career but it appears he hasn’t been favoured by many (probably any) of them. They can’t all be wrong. They also know a lot more than me or you.

This is the best chance we'll ever get to bounce straight back. This league is awful.

So lets not read too much into LOB past shall we
You know when you go to a gig and there is always someone who is filming the gig instead of watching it-that’s Sw88 at the football. Pays all that money and pisses about on his phone all match.
And that be the lesson learned then maybe?I could always stop with the posts
But I know you don’t rely on them so stop just because you see it as pissing about on my phone.
More to the point, I didn’t miss much yesterday while on my phone (which makes a nice change as there have been occasions where I’ve mossed things due to posting on here)
I prefer O’Brien because he looks more commanding, Burge always looks like an error waiting to happen.
When O’Brien dropped those howlers I was shocked, When Burge does it im never surprised
You were shocked by O’Brien because it was the first time you had seen him play..? So what’s your point?
I can play in goal and shout my head off more than Burge but it doesn’t make me a better keeper.
Both are keeps with very obvious weaknesses. But Burge seems to get the brunt of it, when really there is probably very little between them in terms of ability.
What probably does Burge In is that he is a Cov kid, and they always seem to come in for the most stick here.
Lost his spot to RCC yes, but won it back.
He was first choice at the start of the season but was injured for the first few games.
O'brien has only played more than 10 games in a season once in a glittering 7 year career so yes I think we probably can get an idea of his past from that ie no manager has yet trusted him to be number one.

Keep up the good work SW88, and everyone else who chips in on match day threads - great way to follow games in real time.I could always stop with the posts

Really?It hasnt really cost us much yet. We were 3rd going into todays game after all
Robins has a steiker target. Till thrn i think biamou and mcnulty can get us back ibto auto spots by end of jan
Really?
So the keeper makes one mistake in10 games and he is a complete villan and a waste of space.
The game is about scoring more goals then the other side.
We just can' score enough, could have had 2 in the first half yesterday then at least a couple more in the second.
We need to score to win.
I did some research:
Burge played 82 games at L1 & L2 level and conceded 95 goals
O’Brien played 55 games at L2 level (never played at L1) and conceded 101 goals
Burge concedes 1.15 goals a game over his league career
O’Brien concedes 1.83 goals a game over his league career
Again plenty of variables to be thrown in.
O'Brien has a better clean sheet percentage in L2 for CCFC for example
O'Brien has played the bulk of his games at low end L2 clubs that were relegated or clinched survival season after season.
Isn’t that a sign of his ability then if he’s 26 and the bulk of games he has played as you said has been for bottom 2 L2 clubs?
Burge was also in goal last season for our relegation so O’Brien is not alone in playing for struggling teams over his career. Burge also played 21 games in the season when we stayed up on the final day against Crawley. Thats 2 seasons there where the same applies to Burge.
I disagree. The only game I haven’t seen O’Brien make a mistake in was the Walsall cup tie. Even against Notts County he flapped at a couple of crosses and his kicking was erratic. I think Burge is the better keeper although I accept there is still a mistake in him. He certainly didn’t do himself justice yesterday. Also just seen the Man City keeper make a very similar mistake to Burge, playing on a carpet at Anfield and not the bobbly bog that is Exeter’s pitch.You never heard 1 nil to thr arsenal in early 90s? It can be done by relying on defence
We gifted thrm a goal they did not cut us open for it. Burge has i.proved alot in 2 years but still does this dunb stuff. LOB looker alot better than burge early season and its time for him to become nunber 1 again now
Obviously that doesnt mean we stop searching for a way to find more goals but we need a keeper eho can help us get 3 pts in the mean time. Burge has done that for most part but LOB looks more tslented a d could probably do it for a longer amount of time
Watching the other leagues there are some very poor keepers making basic mistakes. We are lucky to have the two keepers we have.
Burge is being castigated because of one poor kick.
All of the outfield players have had poor kicks. Its very rare that we concede more than one goal. We need to be scoring.

Think it's more because he had run out of his box and poorly kicked it to one of their players rather than putting his foot through it.
Not only that. He let the ball pass him without diving and then gave up before it crossed the line. If he'd been chasing the ball still he had time to stop it before it hit the second post and went in.Correct the kick was the icing on the cake. The issue was he made the decision and felt he needed to run 20+ yards to claim the ball his defender likely had covered.

I'd be asking why that weakness has resurfaced.It wasnt just the one kick though. I can forgive anyone a mistake but he went to pieces after that. You'd have thought that the ball was a Hand Grenade the way he played after the mistake. That was the shocking thing. I can only say that he was mentally weak.
