I interviewed former Coventry goalkeeper Reice Charles-Cook, now trying to revive his career in Denmark with SønderjyskE. Thought it might be of interest, he gives some insight into his time at the club.
His downfall was not developing his game whilst he was number 1 here at the time. Burge did and took his spot, a lesson for any young footballer really.
I always liked RCC, mainly because he was willing to have the ball at his feet and was a decent shot-stopper. He just made mistakes at the worst times which was his downfall.
Will always remember that record-breaking run of clean sheets.
I never liked him that much. Never disliked him either. Just didn't see anything that made me think he was ever going to make it long-term. His main asset was his distribution, but at the end of the day it's probably the least important attribute for a goalkeeper.
He never really made any great saves, and never seemed to get near any penalties except for Swansea in the Checkatrade. Wish him all the best but think as said Burge has really developed, compared to RCC
Yeah, never really made any great saves...
I did too and was very surprised Burge was kept ahead of him. Not disappointed in that decision now though.He was as good, if not better than Burge, during his time here. I prefered him to Burge, in all honesty, at that point in time.
Calm down, calm down! I never said he was a good keeper, he did have some good games and did make some excellent saves but was rarely totally convincing. There wasn't much in it between him and Burge when he was here but Burge has developed and RCC never really pushed on.One save? In the centre of the goal? Did well to adjust his feet, decent save. I didn’t expect the post to be taken so literally.
If a 6 second clip is all you have to back up him being a good keeper then my point is proven
Yep, I also wanted Burge to be gone instead of him, but have seen Burge come on over the last year or so-fair play to him.I did too and was very surprised Burge was kept ahead of him. Not disappointed in that decision now though.
he was better than burge back then. burge only really made improvements from checkatrade trophy final onwards and hes still not perfect. Had rcc been number 1 he may have had same upturn in performances who knows
good luck to him in rest of his career
He had an entire season as number 1 and never showed much sign of improvement, if anything he got worse. Correct decision to let him go.
Will always remember this save at Port Vale when I think of RCC. Thought he was as good as Burge at the time but always dodgy when it rained- never held on to the ball!Yeah, never really made any great saves...
