Not at all, I don't expect perfection. I expect our keeper to be of L1 standard and so far he hasn't. As for the other part I'm not sure what you are getting at, its not as if those criticising Burge are shouting that they could do a better job themselves.In all honesty I'm getting rather fed up with all the bitchiness aimed at Burge. Many on here criticise him because they want everything to be perfect when they are far from perfect themselves. this is a young man's career people are talking about and they expect players, and managers to be loyal to us as a club but show him absolutely no respect nor loyalty.
Goalkeeper is not like any other position on the field and it's no coincidence that a keeper doesn't come to the fore until they are around 30. It takes maturity to develope as a keeper and very few players are at their peak when they are in their early 20s.
The things TM will be looking at with Burge are;
1) He has the respect from his team mates. They feel they can rely on him.
2) He knows his errors himself. Self analysis is important for development.
3) He doesn't lose condifence.
From what I've seen and heard Burge has these and he is a team player.
What people fail to remember is these are his mates. He doesn't choose to drop the ball, it happens and he will learn from it and become stronger.
GOOD LUCK Burge
You'd think we concede 4 goals a game with the criticism of Burge on here.
What is wrong with wanting a keeper who is good enough for the level we are at? Burge is Conference level.
Allsop received far more criticism despite being a far superior keeper.
He isn't a terrible goalkeeper in my opinion. I guess I'm just getting greedy. I want a decent goalkeeper and believe we could get one and make the team better which we all want.
I'm not saying I can do a better job than burge of course not and I have been someone regularly backing him but after watching him all games this season he is really low on confidence and therefore his quality is suffering.
Exactly...and there's me thinking we were 2nd and only lost one game...get off his back.cov fans..there's just no pleasing some
I guess Man Utd fans were saying that about Anderson as he is a 4 time premier league winner and champions league winner.
good point...but I'd be more worried if he stopped coming for crosses...teams fine as it is...no need to be moaning about any player....i reckon he's saved more points than he's cost us this season ?
That was also because he spilled a simple shot that day as well.Didn't Burge save a penalty at Millwall when it was 0 - 0?
I know he gave it away, but their player conned the ref to get it. Without that save, who knows how the game would have panned out.
He is not ideal, but I'd rather back him - at least for a few more matches....
He is developing and will get better.
This is a common claim. Why will he get better?
a conference keeper who's in league one and only been on the losing side once ? Doesn't sound like a bad keeper to me.
You'd think we concede 4 goals a game with the criticism of Burge on here.
An idiotic argument.
I think because he's only 23, I have faith in burge. Think he will do good this season every 1 has off days, would still like to see rcc given a chance soon coz I've heard he has earned rave reviews...PUSB
Only 23? He is older than a lot of our other players. 23 and still can't catch a ball.
We all want him to do well. But wanting him to do well and him doing well are two totally different things. How many below average players have we had over the years? How many have we wanted to improve and do well? How many times would we have had a top 6 finish if these players would have improved over the years?
I understand what you are sayin in all respect but 23 is fairly young for a goalkeeper they do improve with age and the right coaching methods.
I think some people are going abit ott with this personally. He did make a couple of mistakes last game and gave me a nervous twitch lol but I still think he has something to offer, maybe it's a confidence thing I'm not sure but still think the lad deserves a chance till he fooks up considerably, I would like to see an experienced keeper in but it does depend on the dollar in the pocket, personally I think Mogga waiting for the right people at the right time.....PUSB
