But as soon as Stockdale made the inevitable mistake, as all keepers do, he’d be the next scapegoat. That on top of the fact he won’t be coming here anyway :emoji_thumbsup:
Most keepers don’t repeatedly make mistakes the way Burge does.
Of course not. But you can count Joe Murphy and Keiren Westwood in ‘most keepers’, and they still both had a group of harsh critics. Westwood more bizarrely.
They didn’t make half as many mistakes as ol’ butter fingers has.Of course not. But you can count Joe Murphy and Keiren Westwood in ‘most keepers’, and they still both had a group of harsh critics. Westwood more bizarrely.
Im sure most city fans would say Hiwula and Bakayoko have been successful signings, who both have the potential to improve to be at least championship players. Don’t think the point about not signing a replacement for McNulty is relevant, none of us actually know how he would’ve faired in league 1. Out of his depth at Reading in the championship but now firing again in the Scottish peek, which is equivalent to high league 2/low league 1 outside of Celtic & rangers.Rarely will you find any club getting promoted that does not have a good goal-keeper.
We did it last season but I don't think we'll get out of L1 without someone superior to Burge.
That being said, we could well have done it this season if we'd signed an adequate replacement for McNulty.
Funny together they have scored less goals then he did on his own last season.Im sure most city fans would say Hiwula and Bakayoko have been successful signings, who both have the potential to improve to be at least championship players.

Would have got 20 easy this season.
Not seen many teams better than us in this league yet due to lack of goals and a few mistakes from Burge we have lost games we should have won easily.
He can't sign something he hasn't been offered.Win the play off final and Burge will sign. Grendel will be so pleased

And better aswell!
Reality is we have too high expectationsFunny together they have scored less goals then he did on his own last season.

Very true: Genuine question how many points has Burge cost us this season against how many he has earned us with match winning saves, compared to how many good chances Luke Thomas for example who I rate, has spearned or delivered poor final balls to team mates has cost points.But as soon as Stockdale made the inevitable mistake, as all keepers do, he’d be the next scapegoat.

Not sure how you can say he would’ve easily got 20, he struggled to pull 1 out the bag for Reading, the 1.2mil we got was great business imo. We’re adjusting to a tougher league with a huge turnover of players since last season. Let’s give Baka a full go at it from the start of the season and add quality in the areas we need it i.e. a good keeper, RB, RM, CM/AM.Funny together they have scored less goals then he did on his own last season.

Genuine question. Relative to the level we’re at could you name a worse keeper than him to have played so many games for us?
Not as many games as Burge.Scott Shearer is maybe the worst keeper I’ve seen play for us, and he was first choice for a season.
Not as many games as Burge.
I asked was there a keeper to have played as many games as Burge who was worse. You answered with one that played a lot less. Do I take that as you not being unable to come up with an answer?Nope, but way way worse for his relative level, which is what you asked. For him to play 2 games for us was ludicrous. Yet, he played a lot more than that.
There's only one man we all want.
Stockdale.
