To be fair he made a couple of decent stops, but he never looked confident coming to get the ballWhat about the two saves against Crouch that made sure we won the game?
He's played less, cost us equal amount of points, looked awful, and only looked good when the defence was rock solid and didn't allow a shot against us. He played 4 games, 2 of which the opposing team didn't have a shot and the next 2 games, the opposing teams have 3 shots and we concede 3 goals with 2 major errors occurring. I think this debate is redundant as neither are good enough and both need replacing.
Burge had a cracker today - 2 goal line blocks, which were as important as goals
I was sat right by the goal.. there was about 4 attempts on goal, a right old scramble, Willis blocked one of them but two of them were blocked by good saves by Burge & then there was just a mass of feet swinging.Willis blocked them
Well that's what I thought. I thought Burge made multiple saves there, but was then confused when in the match thread some were saying they were blocks by defenders.I was sat right by the goal.. there was about 4 attempts on goal, a right old scramble, Willis blocked one of them but two of them were blocked by good saves by Burge & then there was just a mass of feet swinging.
you dislike burge, thats fair enough, but unfair too try and twist it & say he didnt make those saves today. In fact he made a good few saves today... maybe why he got man of the match.. just a thought
I posted a tweet of it, burge was diving about nowhere near it. The defenders blocked it, Willis with the best one.Well that's what I thought. I thought Burge made multiple saves there, but was then confused when in the match thread some were saying they were blocks by defenders.

Need to see the highlights. Was sure Burge saved at least one, if not two.I posted a tweet of it, burge was diving about nowhere near it. The defenders blocked it, Willis with the best one.
How can you sit right by the goal? Can’t the ball hit you in the face?
You do realise only 2 people have to say a player is man of the match in the whole ground and that could win the award.
He made one block from s header and the whole malaise was caused by his inability to put the original cross over the bar instead of flapping around the goal
He caught one cross in the whole game.
Ah, you see that block of Grimmer's I thought Burge saved that at the time.
Burge didn't get near any, but made the good save just after.
same here, although that not the one I was on about.. I was talking about the scramble where he blocked one of them with his chest & then it ended up with him catching the ball.Ah, you see that block of Grimmer's I thought Burge saved that at the time.
Tbf how many would have got those too many bodies in the way maybe he should have caught it with his teeth then he may get a little credit.
Burge didn't get near any, but made the good save just after when they came back at us.
Grimmer and Willis blocked it
Yes, everybody clearly blames one player for all of our woes.Tbf how many would have got those too many bodies in the way maybe he should have caught it with his teeth then he may get a little credit.
Just another player to blame all our woes on.
Well done today only let one in to RCC 3 lol
and made a full stretch one handed save onto the bar too... or maybe you missed that one as well ( or forgot to include that in your post match report on him )
as i say, you can put whatever slant you like on it.. only takes one person to do that too

OK Grendel blames 2Yes, everybody clearly blames one player for all of our woes.
OK Grendel blames 2
Really? I thought Stokes defensively was ok but going forward and a couple of crosses were terrible. I guess the main objective is for him to defend though. As for Burge-just Woeful, time and time again got out of jail for his constant flapping.I don’t think I’ve been as critical as you were with Chris Stokes. Stokes was excellent today.
Don't think I have ever criticised Stokes sure you have the right person.I don’t think I’ve been as critical as you were with Chris Stokes. Stokes was excellent today.
Hopefully yes!I'm guessing O'Brien will be in goal against MK Dons next Saturday?
There were two scrambles though. He definitely made saves during one of them.Not his best game yesterday, reminiscent of last seasons Lee Burge. He made a few positive contributions but largely responsible for his own issues.
Positives, great save in the first half to tip a stinging shot into the bar, kicked the back straight for Biamou to create his own masterpiece. Some point blank shots saved in the second half I recall, tho not the mad scramble.
Negatives, confidence is clearly knocked a fraction but hopefully yesterday's win will help lift that back up with the Bigirimana trophy proudly sat on the side this morning.
Negatives, Kicking was awful, distribution slow which eventually suited us in the second half to relive pressure.
Seen his mum and dad in the main stand in the first half when he came out to wave at them, flapping at a cross. A shakey first half for sure.
As for the goal mouth scramble looked like he wasn't responsible for the saves it was team mates as he went through the motions of blocking.
Let's hope the win lifts his confidence back up.
