Seems to have a few hecklers but got to say his goals against is impressive - he has pulled off two fantastic saves in he last few matches another notably today
Did he miss the high 5 ?
To call yesterday’s save a ‘worldie’ is frankly laughable.
You obviously weren't either there, or sitting in the side stand. It was incredible.
Great save. To react to that header and push it over shows great reactions. Doesn’t make him Gordon Banks but it was a great save and it ultimately earned us a point just as much as Biamou’s goal. That point may be the difference between promotion and not.Give credit where it is due.

To be fair you did once describe a striker who scored a goal every 1,000 minutes as immense.

I was just behind the goal and it WAS a 'Worldie'.
Yer ok.I wasn’t there like others so maybe I underestimated it, but watching the replay several times I think most keepers in this league would have stopped it, and had that gone in, there would not be much sympathy for him on here.
Don’t get me wrong, I and not having a pop at him, just that a ‘wordie’ is associated with world class, and that was not a world class save, just a point blank block from a tight angle and with normal keeper positioning.
Yer ok.
Easy save.
The goal line clearance was technically more difficult
Lee Burge is arguably the top goalkeeper in league 2 - He is shown in 3rd place below in the current official table but not sure how they calculate the table as he has a better overall percentage than anyone else and also let a lot fewer goals in than anyone with similar appearances

...how do you judge what is more ‘technically’ difficult exactly?
It’s not a competition. Both were important as if we go 2-0 down that’s game over I think

This statement for the Newport manager surely settles the debate reference the worldie save yesterday
Newport manager Mike Flynn
One of the key moments from the contest came in a 30 second spell from the 63rd minute.
Coventry goalkeeper Lee Burge made one of the saves of the season when repelling a bullet header from Padraig Amond, while the Irishman was again denied from the resultant corner-kick, this time Dominic Hyam clearing the goal-bound attempt off the goal-line.
And while Flynn was quick to praise the Coventry shot-stopper for keeping his side in the contest with that save, he still felt that the Exiles would have been celebrating all three points had Amond’s effort hit the back of the net.
He added: “The goalkeeper made a world class save, it was a great save I have to say that, but I thought we deserved to win today.
Also, Burge is miles ahead of goalkeepers in league 2 goals against playing the same amount of games - he has only let 25 goals in - i would say w have the best and consistent goalkeeper in league 2 so the stats seem to indicate
Flashes of brilliance but lacking basic skills every goal-keeper should have.
What gets me is when people congratulate him on making a save when that's a goal-keepers job!
Should have been replaced a couple of seasons ago.

When has Robin’s tinkered with the position? If Burge has been fit then he has played.He has made mistakes we have all seen them , the basic ability required at this level is questionable as is the quality of the opposition to deliver a decent chance, I can’t really say good or bad but Robins tinkering with the position will give him no confidence .
I don’t think he is ‘ crap ‘ but can’t say a safe pair of hands
