If 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
So does that relate to all those players that haven't or won't sign new deals?

For what it’s worth.

Stockdale has been excellent in 2 games. Admittedly 2 games in which we have absolutely dominated. As others have pointed out he is a proven keeper at higher levels and on big wages.

On the other hand, it’s pretty sickening that this thread has now focused on such very harsh criticism of Burge. Even to the point of: ‘yes he’s a great shot stopper but that’s because his overall keeping is crap.’ That is totally ridiculous. He’s a brilliant shot stopper full stop. I also cannot recall Burge dropping many crosses this year. I do recall Burge being totally outstanding in our biggest games last season and a very decent keeper at this level. Our problems this season are not down to Burge - our problems are down to not replacing McNulty and some major signings misfiring.

Is Burge as good as Stockdale? I would say he’s not from what I have seen. But is such criticism harsh and over the top. In my opinion it’s both.
He dont drop many crosses cause he dont come for them or command his area. Hes an ok shot stopper not a great shot stopper.
He has been suspect since him and RCC were battling for number 1 both wernt good enough.

I agree with others that we need a experienced keeper who can comand his area. You can see the difference it makes to our defence in the last two games

So the 1st thing Burge has had to do, not only does he allow a FREE HEADER IN HIS 6 YARD BOX, He also fumbles it into the back of the net.
If a single person on here sticks up for him or says "he's good enough for this level", I will trace your IP and come to your house and personally shit in your mouth.

That's fine then, we'll just keep allowing the same player to make the same mistakes week in, week out. Forget I ever said anything. Nothing wrong with treading water in L1. Let's be happy with L1 as were lucky to still even be a football club full stop. I take back everything I ever said about Burge. I'm sorry.
Well done for Fumbling AGAIN Burge, it's only a mistake after all. Keep up the fumbling.

First 15 minutes Burge throws one out for Sterling that goes out for the throwing which instantly puts pressure back on us and then pushes one into the net.
Awful defending but still he’s at fault for part of it. We need a new goalie, clearly!

It should be the first thing on the list, just ring Burges agent and laugh

We look like conceding off every corner because Burge doesn't want to catch anything.Thats the difference between him and Stockdale as he caught everything.

That free kick was hilarious in slow motion. He ran one way aimlessly and then back the other.

The difference is shocking on the basics

I'll be laughing at burges agent saying he has interest from championship teams to try and get him a deal.

It will be like me saying to my wife she had best get the dinner on else I'll phone Mila Kunis to do it. She would laugh as well.

To be fair Mila’s cooking is awful.
