Thompson oozed class.After Dion Dublin he was my favourite too. Him and David Thompson
I was so gutted when he left, he got sent off on debut if I remember.Thompson oozed class.

Best if you do, Nick. I've just heard from a mates mate who's uncles cousin is a window cleaner in West London that SkyBlueSam has just been refused entry to the Ecuadorian embassy.I assumed it was completely made up. Will have a go through
Westwood is by far the best keeper we’ve had since dropping out the prem.
It was genuinely true, I don't really know how to prove it
How we let his contract run down I'll never know. Fair enough him moving onto a Premier League club (at the time) but to let him leave for nothing was the biggest travesty. Joins the likes of Gunnarsson, Fleck, King and Christie in players we should've tied down sooner. Sometimes that's football but in that 2-3 year period the club had a horrible habit of letting contracts run out. Westwood has been immense since his return back into the Wednesday side though and still one of the best goalkeepers in that division in my opinion, which says a lot about his pedigree. One of the few ex-Coventry players in recent years I can genuinely say I'd love to have back at the club (if wages weren't an issue obviously).

And then we went one better a few years later and did the same with Tudgay.Let some decent players contracts and Fleck run out but extended David Bell’s
Can’t believe that Ipswich let him go to Sheff Utd and now because of the lack of goal scoring amongst other things have gone down.The player I wish we still had the most is David McGoldrick.
Fabian Debec - the worst I’ve seenStill people try and back him. Borderline hilarious. The worst keeper to ever pull on the shirt.
It’s madness I tell you yep. So is blaming Burge for the first goal on Saturday. Second yep and the punch. That’s all I mean. I’m happy his confidence is shot and he is very unlikely to be retained. However with the same budget I wonder what level of keeper will replace him. I like to stand up for the person who’s being badly treated and I am overly supportive but I’m not blind to his limitations
He had an excellent start to the season. Went down hill after WalsallI think had he had more competition behind him, he’d have lost his place long before now. Addai wasn’t going to offer that and imo was purely stepped up to make up the numbers on the bench and very last resort
Like last season, we had keepers rotating after each made a balls up or two. We’ve not had that option this year
Would be interesting to know why obrien has been unavailable for so much of the season? Don’t think that’s ever been shared has it? And on that subject I do think he would have been crucified if he’d made the same errors Burge has, but then again he’s not got the protective ‘Cov kid’ status
I didn’t agree with the mid game ironic cheers towards Burge but I can’t defend that he’s not had the best of seasons
Said last year he’d found his level
He was league 2 keeper of the season. Did you see de gea the last few gamesI’d say if we’d treated him badly we wouldn’t have kept him on past his 16th birthday? I think we’ve been quite generous as a Club, overly generous of anything, by keeping him as log as we have!
We’ve seen it with too many academy graduates keeping them on the books hoping one day they will come good.

Burge? Was still ropey before the Walsall game.He had an excellent start to the season. Went down hill after Walsall
His kicking improved but his handling was about the same.Tbf to Pete here, burge was turning the corner and the consensus on here was that finally, people's hearts weren't in their mouths every time the ball went near him. Unfortunately that lasted about 7 games
9 mom performancesNot sure about an excellent start to the season, didn’t he miss half the early games with an injury or is that what you meant?
His handling has always been poor. Always surprises me. When my lad has been mascot and pitch side as they catch the balls his handling was phenomenal!His kicking improved but his handling was about the same.
MoM aren’t much indication these days. Most of the time it ends up being someone who has had a reasonable game.9 mom performances
Pete knows a footballer when he sees one.Burge set the bar so low for himself any sign of remotely looking like a goalkeeper elevated him to international class in some people’s eyes.
Pete was the same with that other dire excuse for a footballer Haynes - now a bench warmer at a club lower than us

Yeah it's usually the company sponsoring the matchMom is done by somebody being asked in a box when I was in there they chose somebody they wanted to meet
Viper Goalkeeping must have sponsored 9 or so matches.Yeah it's usually the company sponsoring the match
Max did ok despite being denigrated by youBurge set the bar so low for himself any sign of remotely looking like a goalkeeper elevated him to international class in some people’s eyes.

It was the improvement you didn’t think he was capable of. Pretty sure bakayoko will embarrass you tooYeah 5 league goals and 3 assists in the league
Immense
