Guess you haven't seen bywaters mistake against Swindon. In the 90th minute, a cross went straight to him at his near post and he spilt it over his head an in. Hilarious.

Thought that was already Conor Thomas...

That's legitimate because Thomas is shit.
Nicely put but we play five at the back have different full backs (Clarke was centre half last year). Allsop isnt as good as Murphy, doesnt command his area and is dodgy on crosses. Is also not very vocal. My view having watched him 4 times.

Have you watched the game back? He's inconsistent, but if he plays like he did first 60 mins on Friday he certainly ain't shit.

I've watched him this season and last season and he's a crab. Receive the ball, turn play it sideways. He offers us nothing.

I suggest you watch the game back if you can, lots of forward passes, involved in the majority our best attacking play in the first half. And perhaps Pressley has given him a specific role last season just to keep it simple and keep possession ticking over.

I can and have. He just is negative for the majority of the game and is also very weak. We'd benefit from having a strong cm who actually broke up the play well.

The fact you have watched it back and still can't acknowledge that he had an excellent first half tells me everything I need to know.
You do realise he is still only 20?

Yes. If you're good enough you're old enough. Thing is, he's shit.

He's not shit. Did he or did he not play well in the first half on Friday?
And less than appearances at the age of 26 Seb Hines must be the worst footballer to have of played for us.

First question, Thomas was average first half and quite frankly, his lack of ability was shown up by O'Brien and Fleck. He pressed the ball well but all that means really is he is physically fit. He spends too much time on the ball which leads to him losing it and all in all he's a very frustrating player.

I'd probably say he had a good 20 or so minutes. No more. And I'm still trying to get over the THREE good passes he made! Caught me by surprise they did
Still think Hes a weak link in the team though (but always say I hope he goes on to prove me wrong. Just can't see him doing so).
Oh, and he certainly can't shoot
Not judging by the tame effort he had after Noubles back heel.......CCFC_Charlie

He's been criticised after every game he's played. I even saw someone call him the worst keeper ever to play for us. The lad's kept 3 clean sheets and probably won us a point at MK away

Wouldn't as far as to say he's the worst we've ever had!

We had loan keepers many times in the championship - some such as Fullop and Bywater were a success.

But who were the 'academy' understudies? I doubt they were equal or better than the 'loanee', especially Fulop, who I rated highly (Bywater not so)

Clayton ince was number 2 when Bywater and fulop were here.

You're missing my point. We've got Allsop until January, what happens then? If Burge isn't the answer than let him go and get someone else in who is. If he is the answer than get him in the team. I'm not convinced Allsop is that much better than Burge so it seems to be most of the benefit in playing him is going to Bournemouth.
If, for example, we got Murphy back on a season long loan than I could see the point of picking a more experienced and better keeper ahead of Burge but I don't see that with Allsop.

It should be Burge's time. He is as good if not better than allsop from what I have seen.
We have given our other youngsters a chance why not him. If it doesn't work then fall back on allsop then sign a decent keeper in January

McGuire was always a short term emergency loan deal.

How many fame have you seen Burge play out of interest?

I think he is a square peg in a round hole.. he isn't naturally a holding midfielder.. something, the sort of thing more typified by the run through & shot he had in the Gills match, has gone out of his game.
So I agree with both Fry & stupot in a way.. there is no doubt the team would be strengthened by having a strong CM, but I think Thomas has some attacking and creative flair about him, which is what first attracted Liverpool & that is being lost in the role he is asked to play.

Was a little critical of him last week but looked a little better today, although not really tested, commanded a bit more which is nice to see. Hope their is more to come each week as still worries me at the back

He had little to do today; he does look suspect on crosses though. I don't know if he shouted in the Webster incident but regardless he needs to be cleaning everybody, including Webster, out in that situation.
