Don't get me wrong, I think overall O'Brien is shit
Don't get me wrong, I think overall O'Brien is shitAnd a good save on Saturday and onr last night. Name a keeper who doesn't make errors at some point.
Just watched the highlights and here are my observations:
1. A good Sunday morning keeper would have saved the shot in the first half.
2. He didn’t need to come for the first as there was two defenders to deal with the cross.
3. The free kick he pushed over should have been a routine catch.
4. The second goal, his start position was too deep and he hesitated. This indicates a lack of confidence.
Even if Burge is still injured on Saturday, this man cannot keep goal for us. We might as well start with a goal deficit. I will be shocked if he gets a club at any level, non league included, after us.
That was an exceptional save in the first half. Had goal written all over it. Then he made two mistakes, probably slightly less than our other players made all over the park. Having said all of that, Burge needs a recall.I’d say burge is a decent keeper, improving all the time... Obrien shouts well & that’s about it. Any saves he does are box standard keeper stuff , that you’ll see any given Sunday up the memorial park.... same as his flapping tonight
Agree, tremendous save.2-4 agree with. 1 is bollocks. At fault for both goals but having been directly behind the goal it was a cracker of a save

But it’s a save that you’d expect him to make. If he’d let that in it would’ve been another one to add to the list of errors.
I was also behind the goal and would’ve been disappointed if he’d let that in.Not having that at al. Everyone around us thought it was in. It really was a top drawer save. Other than that he was hopeless.

I played in goal for 95% of my playing career. MR can give me a call if he wants to. I'm 65, dodgy ticker, chronic arthritis and wear a knee brace to stop my leg from collapsing under me, but I'd still turn up and play me heart out! No bleedin' pride in the shirt anymore!
No doubt he’ll be dropped for Saturday, there’s no excusing those mistakes.Liam o’brien - liability!!!
Two goals from him coming out and flapping it , when he should’t have ... and you can look at my past posts and see I’m not a keeper basher. Played the position myself
Fair enough. The angle from the highlights didn’t show that though.2-4 agree with. 1 is bollocks. At fault for both goals but having been directly behind the goal it was a cracker of a save

So you say it should have been defended better then say grimmer was light years ahead of sterling.. He was the defender who let him get past him! I agree grimmer deserved a chance but this blind love in from many fans is getting to creepy levels now as clearly he is immune to any criticism at allI agree with the disallowed goal, should have dealt with it better.
The goal definitely could have been defender better, not sure many keepers at this level would have done better to be honest, there player hit it so hard you could hear it ping off the post at the opposite end of the stadium. It should never have got to the point where he could have gotten a shot away.
Burge and Grimmer were light years ahead of O'Brien and Sterling on yesterdays performance.
I did. That's why I rated him 5 yesterday.Still surprised no one has criticised Burge for the equaliser it looked like he scored from virtually the goal line
To say that Burge is slightly less worse than LOB is nowt to be proud of.
Burge is okay at best. We really should be looking to try and secure the services of a really decent keeper.

In that sterling and obrien are roundly criticised yet played in 2 clean sheets.... Grimmer and burge both have fault in the goal yet nowhere near the level of abuse. Seems if you are local or chat on social media it allows you to have shit games or make mistakesYes! What's difficult to understand? He should have done better and was partially at fault for the goal, but he was a lot more solid defensively and attacking wise then sterling has been at any point this season.
I critise Burge all the time, he's not good enough if we want to progress up the league's but despite saying that he's still best option we have.

And quite right you are too! Some people though seem to have a problem when younger players are criticised especially if it's “one of our own” :emoji_sleeping:I'm really not sure what you're getting at. Check my history, I regularly criticise/praise all players and management staff when they deserve it.
Burge was slatted at every opportunity last season, even when he had a good game. No goalkeeper in League 1 would have held that shot, therefore a defender should be expecting a rebound. Burge did his job there. Maybe he could have got up quicker however, we don’t know how fit he is.
Zzzzzzz
More Thomas's fault though. Burge and Grimmer are miles better than Sterling and O'Brien, that's plain to see.So you say it should have been defended better then say grimmer was light years ahead of sterling..

Yeah, cos it wasn't their fault, we had a much better performance overall, and they both proved themselves last season.In that sterling and obrien are roundly criticised yet played in 2 clean sheets....
