Yeah they were taking a lot of flak, but that is to be expected.
You thought we’d finish top 6? And Burge has let us down and is the reason we are performing so poorlyHe saved them, that’s the main thing. Today doesn’t define him as a keeper; a season does. And he’s not good enough IMO if we want to challenge teams. Last season he came on massively but he found his level. But I reckon had it been Collins in Maccormacks position for the free kick effort we would now be talking after a 2-1 defeat. Would have loved it to have been hylton who missed it though
Also we are gonna finish about 10th. Listening to most of you half full guys. Who is to blame for not being a play off team? Burge or are lost of the team playing at their level? They can’t all be playing below their level can they? Shipley not good enough Chaplin not good enough Baka not good enough Bayliss not strong enough enobekare not strong enough Doyle not good enough? Who the fuck meets your exacting standards and where on earth did you expect a team that finished 6th in league 2 to finish this season
We Should have had a player on the back postThe fact that the Luton man had a free header in the 6-yard box with no defender anywhere near him has been completely forgotten about in the rush to blame Burge for every goal we concede. Yes, he could/might have done better, but the pace on the header was enough to beat most keepers.
Overall, I think a very disciplined performance and a hard-earned point.
And one more point - why do we give away so may silly fouls/make so many silly challenges knowing the ref will give everything against us - in and around the penalty area?
Don’t give a shit about their thug of a non footballer who struck it. Burge reacted quickly and pulled off a good stop and held it. Similar to the one he came off the line for. You won’t ever be happy so the club have to move on and get a new keeper ffs
Except that if it had been Stockdale, you'd have been saying that it was a top save, that Burge would not have saved.Jesus. It doesn't matter who struck it, it was straight at Burge. It was a terrible miss.
The one with his feet is a basic save you would expect, the fact it's lauded as a top save explains everything.
Except that if it had been Stockdale, you'd have been saying that it was a top save, that Burge would not have saved.
I think we are all agreed that it would be best to find a more commanding keeper, but, as it stands, who would sign for a Club that could easily not be around next season....

Sounds like it isn’t anything too serious

Oh look. We drew.Or we could draw!
Yeah agreed, he should have let it in so easy, was the chance. TwatErm have you got eyes? Burge was already committed by diving. The Luton player hit it straight at him. We and Burge were very fortunate.
Praising him for the save is daft.
Yes great result well done Burge got us the points.
This was really pissing me off. Stupid free kicks from crossing positions given away when we can’t defend set piece crosses, and stupid free kicks from shooting positions given away for no reason when they scored 2 of them in their last 2 games.The fact that the Luton man had a free header in the 6-yard box with no defender anywhere near him has been completely forgotten about in the rush to blame Burge for every goal we concede.

You're joking about the burge thing right? I'd expect a 16 year old Sunday league keeper to save that 99 times out of a 100The fact that the Luton man had a free header in the 6-yard box with no defender anywhere near him has been completely forgotten about in the rush to blame Burge for every goal we concede.

3 charts! You're really spoiling us today mate...1.) View attachment 11604 2.) View attachment 11605 3.) View attachment 11606
1. End of the first half of the season.
2. End of the January transfer window.
3. Current performance table based on results.
Michael Rose for a start...Except that if it had been Stockdale, you'd have been saying that it was a top save, that Burge would not have saved.

Well, you worked hard for that point, nit sure why you give Burge such stick,, thought he was pretty reasonable, the defense were on holiday for our goal. Both of us should have had a penalty and yes are team our quite physical and do wrestle in with the best of them. Shame we took our foot of the pedal and relaxed in the sun when we scored, you took advantage and we could never get it back again. Not the Hatters best day, we had more than enough of the ball but a spark was badly missing in the middle - doesn't work for us playing Hylton and Collins together. Hope you pull out of your financial difficulties, good to chat
