I remember Juan Sebastian Veron ohhh he was shite and they managed to con Chelski into taking him and he was still shite
Let's hang a player out to dry for mistakes in their early matches. Let's bin the concept of development in a player. No he is not world class but has improved and made some decent saves this season. Made less howlers than the keeper brought into replace him. He deserves the shirt this year.
I'll tell you what though, he more often than not kicks the ball from outside his penalty area and is definitely overstepping the mark.
If he's not careful he's going to give a free kick away in very dangerous territory.
I didn't notice it at first, but Clive Eakin commented on it and since then I have been keeping an eye on it and he is definitely pushing his luck. Ball still in hand and then kicking it over the line.
The only ever card I got was a red card! Ref gave a free kick against me for the exact thing. I said your having a laugh ain't ya? He said it's the 3rd time you've done it but I let the 1st 2 times go, so I rared up at him as if I've done it 2 times already why is this the first free kick, a free kick is a free kick a hand ball a hand ball etc etc and called him a c**t. He then proved he was a c**t by sending me off!
c**t

Bloke behind me goes on about this every time don’t think he gets the fact he lets go of it in the area
He's not been lately though. Clive Eakin picked up on it.
At times now he still has the ball in his hand and he is right on the line and possibly over.
Yes was watching him and shouted at Carlisle first half he was defo over the line but the officials are so crap they never noticed
I was always a critic of Burge, and still think we should have kept RCC rather than signed O Brian.
However, Burge has improved massively in the last 3 years. It used to be that pretty much every kick would either go straight out of play or be poor and put us under pressure. Now he often has games where he doesn't miss-kick once!
Made some really good saves so far this year, and less mistakes too.

Obviously had that terrible howler against FGR, but apart from that he's been solid. Especially when you consider O'Brien made 2 howlers in the opening 3 or 4 games. RCC made about 5 in the first 10 games of last season.
We're in League 2, yet some people seem to think Burge is crap because he's not David De Gea.
He's part of by far the best defence in the league and we have much more pressing areas to address than in goal.

And not wishing to diss the bloke, but he has had a very, very strong back four in front of him that has offered a lot of protection
This is very true, he's played his part in a sold defensive unit but he will of likely faced less shots this season than half of last year.
Let's hope he's in Wembley form today
Exactly, he should of sent you off on the first occasion
what a c**t for being so lenient!!
We had some games where the opposition didn't even have a shot on target.
We have Premiership level officials today.
Am I the only one who's bothered about that because I think they like to stamp their authority on lower league clubs?

So did we.... moving on quickly.
For me he's a safe L2 keeper who is benefiting from a strong solid line up of players in front of him.
His decision making alone at times is still questionable which if i was to make a decision right now for L1 I'd want a new No 1.
We always get the raw end of the deal on a Saturday (or Friday nights) so no change, plus we're not that bad as a side for foul play.

I think it’s a case of him finding his level. He has come on a lot but I still couldn’t put my trust in his as No.1 if (or when) we go up.
And as Otis says the four in front of him must have an added effect
I’ve never rated Pickford. Was poor for Sunderland in a poor Sunderland team that got relegated then somehow managed to gain that move? No idea how His agent pulled that one off!
That’s two Irish Sky Blues and one half Irish Sky Blue. It’s getting crowded on here!
Modern goalie good with his feet and doesn’t matter if he can save anything ideal at Man City less so at Everton where he has to make saves.
Which is what I said about Burge in the summer. Was awful last season(and how many seasons before that?) in a relegation team and yet was still retained by the club. Baffling to me.
He has just about found his level in league 2 although the way idiots like Linnell go on the prem must be calling him.
And people just continue to ignore what I am saying. He couldn’t do it in L1 (he’s not alone by the way) so if we want to progress and go forward (if we manage to go up) he again will be out of his depth.
