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
Burge makes some really reaction saves and is a cheaper version of Westwood
You really do talk some utter rot
To be fair G his shot stopping is his only good attribute
Westwood? I think not. Old mucca has already claimed that Stockdale has been a premier league keeper most of his career. He’s played 40 games
Always an excuse for a poor keeper when the old “a good shot stopper” gets thrown around. In reality it’s only a third of the makeup that is required with the others being kicking/distributing and commanding you box/area. Also as we have seen recently, good communication is also required.To be fair G his shot stopping is his only good attribute
Calling Burge a ‘cheaper’ version of Westwood is hardly a compliment in my book. To call someone a ‘pound shop’ version of something is usually more of an insult. They are of simila archetypes.
Yeah, I got Stockdale’s career past wrong, but the pertinent point was that Stockdale has been playing at a far higher standard than Burge. And about 180 games at Prem and Championship level reflects that. If you want to nit pick, fine...

I’m afraid Burge May be “a good shot stopper” but is sadly lacking in all the other departments required to be a half decent keeper.
Burge will be assessed when the squad return to training on Tuesday, it would be nice to have Stockdale in goal for at least one more game.
This is true. He's probably going to have to have the game of his life to avoid criticismBurge is on a hiding to nothing if he does come back for the next game. Having missed 2 games against dire opposition where Stockdale gave a masterclass in all the areas Burge lacks, he now gets to come back in for Luton - unbeaten at home, averaging 2.56 goals per game and scoring at least twice in 13 of their 16 home matches.

I know I’m a horrible person but i laughed and I’m quite excited to see how this plays outBurge is on a hiding to nothing if he does come back for the next game.

Shaking my head. We really do have some complete nobs supporting us.Is there any Ice Hockey on tonight that we can buy Burge a ticket for. Get him concussion tonight with a puck to the head before his assessment tomorrow.

Watch the second leg again - he was outstanding.Im not sure we can put us beating Notts County down to Burge. The lino maybe, but Burge?

He could have the game of his life but if we lose 1-0 it will still all be his fault in some eyes, even if we create 10 chances and score none.This is true. He's probably going to have to have the game of his life to avoid criticism
OK. So do we bring Shipperz and Grimmer back in for Hiwula and Sterling because they were outstanding at Wembley? We can't live off sentiment. Stockdale has highlighted that we need a keeper that can command at least the 6 yard box. Burge is ok but if we want to progress we need better.Watch the second leg again - he was outstanding.
He had a good game that day granted, But look at the bigger pictureWatch the second leg again - he was outstanding.
Mate, Burge is shit, he dont want to be here, I couldn't give a fuck if he gets a puck in the face. I'd probably laughMore than got the joke Patsy and probably unfair to pick on you alone.
Just pissed off with this thread in general.
Wishing for any of our players to remain injured combined with such harsh criticism seems very unjust to me. Without Burge we would not have won the semis vs. County and we would not be in this division. He deserves far better treatment and respect from a number of our fans.
I do get the point you were joking but not everyone in this thread is.

He could't catch itDid Burge eat your owl?
CrazyIf Burge wont be here next season as he hasn't signed a new contract, do you really think he's gonna go for a ball that might get him injured? I rather think it will be "fuck this" I'm not doing that, and who could blame him. Can't see us getting 100% from him this close to the end of his time
