You're assuming that RCC is staying. The window hasn't opened yet, plenty of time for that to change yet.
Burge will be the senior keeper though, that's what is random about having the 3.
Surely you can't be a keeper if you can't catch or kick?I think both goalkeepers are pretty good certainly at this level and this new lad seems no different to them. We are league 2 remember they are going to have faults and if our keepers worst attribute is his kicking then I'm happy with that!
Hopefully Nuneaton are contacting the club right now...Or Robins think's RCC can do a job up as a striker?
Clearly he can kick and catch -hence being a professional footballer!Surely you can't be a keeper if you can't catch or kick?
I won't be to annoyed if O'Brien is going to be number one but I can't take another season of Burge in net. Every time the ball goes into the box you fear the worst as he either catches it or fumbles it to their striker. Need someone who is a consistent 7/10 like Murphy was. Doesn't need to be special but just needs to be able to do the basics(which Burge can't do most of the time)Clearly he can kick and catch -hence being a professional footballer!
Yes he does have off days - as every other footballer does, but we are in League 2, what sort of calibre do you expect??

He has been better but I would prefer a fresh start instead of hanging onto the players that have been a part of our gradual demise.that's an exaggeration. I have been a critic of his but he's definitely been better since the arrival of Robins.
He can't be any worse than Burge surely!Is there anyone in our fan base that can offer an opinion on the new keeper based on having seen him play a few games rather than the fact his name isn't Burge or RCC?

Clearly he can drop the ball and kick the ball into touch. He does both most games.Clearly he can kick and catch -hence being a professional footballer!

So did RCC against Swansea.he made some pen saves in checkatrade....
Why should the new lad been given a go? Surely the manager should make his decision based on what he sees in training and pre season?Robins is building a squad, and keeping a young and improving GK instead of letting him go with little back up I think is a good move. He should give the new lad a go as first choice and have Burge and RCC to provide competition and play in cups comps. Therefore, I think this is a good move
Sure Burge had something in his last contract that he could leave if he didn't start a certain number of games as he didn't want to stay to be backup. Can't imagine a couple of seasons down the line he's signed a new contract to sit on the bench.Will Burge be re-signing as number 2 or 3 and will RCC be not making the bench every week.
Maybe I just find it strange to have so much cover for a position.

Dreadful signing
God help us if Burge is our number one next season.
Hoping there is some transfer news later to soften the blow!
Been hanging onto Burge for too long and he has proven season by season why he shouldn't be anywhere near the first team.
Yes he would tell everyone to f*** off like he did against Scunthorpe in the last game
Having a shit defensive line doesn't mean you can't kick the ball or catch it

rcc like kyle reid has been told to look for another club was told and most of the rest is coming true
Sorry. Bit obvious?Alright Reice, you're giving the game away here
I could keep a clean sheet record with Reda and Ben Turner playing infront of meand that season we finished 8th and rcc broke clean sheet record.
but if rcc has to go he has to go. maybe it will be a loan to see if he can fulfill his potential. or maybe its time for him to just go fullstop.
