He would have set league one alight with the chances we createdIm sure most city fans would say Hiwula and Bakayoko have been successful signings, who both have the potential to improve to be at least championship players. Don’t think the point about not signing a replacement for McNulty is relevant, none of us actually know how he would’ve faired in league 1. Out of his depth at Reading in the championship but now firing again in the Scottish peek, which is equivalent to high league 2/low league 1 outside of Celtic & rangers.
Isn't that his job to earn us points not drop themVery true: Genuine question how many points has Burge cost us this season against how many he has earned us with match winning saves, compared to how many good chances Luke Thomas for example who I rate, has spearned or delivered poor final balls to team mates has cost points.
My girlfriend at the time didn't dislike him. He was the only reason she'd come to games with me!From what I can remember, many seemed to really dislike Magnus Hedman too.

At L2 level mostly. He was abysmal and even worse than Burge! Lets not forget though that Shearer was punching above his weight in the Championship and was clearly out of his depth. Burge who seems to believe in his own hype and thinks he will get a move to the Championship will also be shown up in the Championship.He can’t be too bad - he’s still playing at 38
I don’t really understand this view on Burge. He has said he has not been offered a new contract. How can he sign a contract that is not there? He has generally been the number one goal keeper for the past 6 years. During that time we have had 5 managers who have pretty much consistently picked Burge as the number 1 keeper and have not tried to replace him. That is why he has played so many games, because those managers had faith in him. Is he a great goalkeeper? No, I don’t think many people think this but he has grown into the role and I think improved year on year. He does make mistakes and has cost us points this season. So has De Gea for Man Utd and probably every other keeper too. He has also gained us points with outstanding saves (example, from Scannel the other day). It is unfair to do this because, as has been pointed out, those who miss gilt edged chances aren’t held to account in the same way; I would say he has cost us points at Walsall, at Luton, at home to Burton. That’s total points lost between 4 and 9 depending on how you look at it. (If we had not conceded first against Walsall, we probably wouldn’t have conceded the second.)At L2 level mostly.

I do think he is made a scapegoat with his his mistakes magnified and his relative consistency selectively ignored. Can we do better? Probably. However, after his honeymoon period, unless he is exceptional, the same characters who harp on about Burge will be on at the new guy too.
He was a shot stopper like Burge. He was shit at catching crosses like Burge.From what I can remember, many seemed to really dislike Magnus Hedman too.
No that's Raffaele Nuzzo.Still people try and back him. Borderline hilarious. The worst keeper to ever pull on the shirt.
Agreed but it’s very close lolNo that's Raffaele Nuzzo.

I'm guessing you're too young to remember Eric McManus!No that's Raffaele Nuzzo.
Did he eat too much?I think the last keeper we had who I actually rated was fulop

You’re certainly no expert on goalkeeping, otherwise you’d see that Burge is probably one of the worst keepers in this league. Thank god he’s not under contract and hasn’t been offered a new one, otherwise we could’ve been stuck with this fool even longer! Are you saying you know more than Robins, as he clearly doesn’t rate him enough to give him a new contract.Love the so called experts on here. He missed three punches today and could have caused 3 goals. He most certainly wasn’t the reason we lost the game
Pete we are no experts but we can see what we can seeLove the so called experts on here. He missed three punches today and could have caused 3 goals. He most certainly wasn’t the reason we lost the game
I don't think for a minute anyone was trying to say he does it on purposeDid Burge do it on purpose?

The same robins who hasn’t signed a replacement and has played him consistently in his time as manager. I’m certain he won’t get another contract but what a meltdown on here if he does !!!You’re certainly no expert on goalkeeping, otherwise you’d see that Burge is probably one of the worst keepers in this league.
