Delusional. He might go to a club and sit on the bench though.
Laughable that there was mentioned somewhere on here that people thought Burge could go on and play in the Championship! :emoji_smile:
I got castigated each time I said the same previously. The saves Burge made were always highlighted. But some could never get their head around the fact of what a more vocal keeper does for a defence. My proper playing days are over. Bit old for it now although I still play a bit. But I still can organise a defence. A good keeper grabs or punches the ball whenever it comes close to him. He also leaves no gaps or opponent unmarked.Last week was a nice taste but now I'm convinced. We have to go all out for an experienced keeper in the summer. He doesn't have to make saves when he marshals his defence so well. No coincidence we look so much better as a whole with him. It's going to be depressing when Burge is back.
Is heHeard Burge has been asked to be injured next week too
Its not dramatic at all. Wake up. Doing thr basics makes a huge difference wether u have alot to do or not
Burge didnt have much to do vs walsall when 1 up with 1 min or normal time left but he fucjed it
Lets not pretend basics is nothing important
I heard the defenders are taking turns to nobble him in training on ThursdaysHeard Burge has been asked to be injured next week too
Keep seeing people say Burge is on of the best in League 1, what's that actually based on?
Stockdale has played 2 games for us and kept a clean sheet in both games now thats either coincidence or good organisation, either way I love it... I had trials when I was younger (a lot younger) to play for the town apparently I was a fair goalkeeper but chose to play out on the trials and never got picked...confucious says...know your limits, ...... after this waffle I am now going for a lay down because I haven't got a clue what point I am trying to makeI got castigated each time I said the same previously.

I always loved playing. I enjoyed making the saves. But I saw my best games as when I hardly made any saves when the ball was up my end a lot. But to some a keeper only has a good game when he makes saves.
Yes you are right, we know that he shouted for him to leave it and they high fived. Whereas Burge against Gillingham....Willis turned round and high fived Stockdale in the 2nd half, just for shouting at him to leave a low ball that he was coming to claim. Think that tells us all we need to know.
I joked that yesterday when he kicked a ball into touch.To be fair its a good job he got out now before Oggy coached him too much
Crap L1 keepers?Keep seeing people say Burge is on of the best in League 1, what's that actually based on?
Have a feeling O'Brien might be ready to play before Burge

Let’s hope he is good to go - one way ticket please - he is poorBumped into him in the lift on the way down to the atrium. He said he’s pretty much good to go now

it really is bizarre how quiet and timid burge is. You don’t need to be paid “40k a week” to be able to demonstrate basic communication techniques with your team.
Think it’s time for a change in summer on goalkeeping front. Stockdale has communicated with the defence more in his 2 appearances (instilling confidence and calmness) than burge has his entire career here
Spot on NickIt makes a massive difference, between him and Meyler they seem to have brought a bit of a calming influence. (Even though Meyler hasn't really played, you can still see him doing things when he is warming up at the side of the pitch and after the game).
They are both experienced but don't have the "go apeshit" approach and seem to be more constructive.
WE heard the shout of keepers at the other end of the ground!!!!!!!!Willis turned round and high fived Stockdale in the 2nd half, just for shouting at him to leave a low ball that he was coming to claim. Think that tells us all we need to know.
Yeah, it is simple things like that
I heard Stockdale shouting for it from the other end of the ground which is why Willis moved out of the way. He was talking to the defenders all the way through, telling them man on or to run into space to get the ball back.
With a keeper stood silent on his line it puts Willis in a position to make a decision himself under pressure.
I agree. If Stockdale had been in goal for the Gillingham game I suspect Willis would have got a call to clear the ball that led to their penalty. To be fair to Burge he has been decent enough this season, but he certainly isn't a commanding presence in goal.
