His command of the area is poor.
His catching of the ball is diabolical.
His distribution of the ball is poor.
His shot stopping is good. But it isn't good enough to make up for everything else.
He has had 23 years to learn how to catch a ball. How much more time will he need? Maybe he only has small hands. The bigger your hands the easier it is to catch a football.
Yesterday was the first time I'd seen him play, and this sums him up perfectly. Obviously I read what others say, but prefer to make my own judgments; he came for a cross early on and caught it well, and I thought that was positive.
Then things went sour.
I'm all for supporting him while he's in the team. I don't wish him ill will and I certainly don't condone getting on his case. But I agree that at this point in time, he's not up to standard.
That's exactly what I'd say. We should get right behind him when he plays, but personally I think we could use someone else in there at the moment. Any other managers watching the Burton game will surely highlight his poor handling of the high ball, and look to target that weakness.
I see Ivor Lawton started today for u21's and didn't feature on Sat for Nuneaton...is that his loan over with then?
RCC is having the game of his life today...
I feel it's going to take a series of critical errors from Burge before he is dropped.
He's been lucky so far...but for how long...that's the question

He hasn't, but he has stopped some shots that could've proven to be winners against us.
I was using this as a counter argument. A striker misses chances but doesn't cost us the game would not be considered to be dropped. Why should a keeper for doing his own job to a similar standard?
He needs to improve & I doubt he won't be getting help from TM & all that can help. It will reach a point where he needs to improve or he will be dropped or shipped out.
For now he has just looked less than commanding at times in his box.

RCC having a great game so far according to Twitter reports for under 21's
Compared to you - yesBazza obviously sees italia and Tony as two intellectual powerhouses.
I like burgers .....
Sorry had to... PUSB
FFS...what is wrong with some of you on here???
We are 2nd, heading in the right direction with 4wins & a draw & the performances are looking very encouraging! And yet 80% of you can only moan & slate the keeper calling for him to be dropped or sold.
Compare now to where we were after 6 games last season, how we had only 2 wins & 3 draws, which direction we were heading & what the performances were like!!!
Then reassess the strength of your criticisms.
TM is obviously giving Burgers a fair chance, showing a bit of faith for now...& I'd wager his assessment is far better than any of ours. If Burgers isn't good enough TM will do something about it so stfu whingeing & support the lad!!!

So you are confident that Burge is good enough?

I'm confident that TM pays no attention to what you doom sayers post on here (thankfully)...& that mostly (nobody is right 100% of the time) he will make whatever changes are appropriate at the right time.So you are confident that Burge is good enough?

It doesn't matter what I or you believe. Its what TM believes.Nice bit of backing up there. If you are happy for us to drop points due to him in the future, then fair play to you. If you believe he is more important than the team as a whole, fair play to you.
