Definitely an upgrade, but time to move on regarding burge. I think he did his best when here, was selected by a number of managers, so was (probably) best we had at the time. Came through our academy, so no real cost and a boost to our reputation as another player we have developed.I was one of the defenders of Burge and thought we should keep him but I was so wrong. Marosi is another level in every aspect.
Not wanting to give credit or proud of him?It is quite funny listening to oggy when marosi does something good
I have a feeling that Oggy chose retirement over the sack in the summer as MR wanted to move in a different direction with the keepers.It is quite funny listening to oggy when marosi does something good

Don't you think the confidence in the keeper plays a part?He had a shaky start, and was at fault for 3 or so goals at the start of the season (2 v Pompey stand out in my mind) but he has been great for the last 15 or so games.
I will say though that he definitely has less to do compared to Burge, our defence is much stronger and we definitely concede less shots on target. There's been a number of games where he's had practically nothing to do. (that's not a criticism of him, but praising the defence).
It all does, McFadzean has really upped his game and all 3 centre backs seem to be on the same wavelength.Don't you think the confidence in the keeper plays a part?

We haven't missed Willis at all, I'd go as far as saying he wouldn't get on the side now, as he's nowhere near as good bringing the ball out of defence as the 3 we've got.

Not particularly, we had the 9th best defence last season, we’re currently 8th based on goals conceded.
I prefer Marosi, and he’s less error prone and better on the ball, which is important for how we want to play. Based on the stats, we’re not much different as a defensive unit compared to last season. It’s also worth noting that we play with 3 centre backs and wing backs - so you’d probably expect we’d concede less with an extra defender.
If Willis would have stayed we wouldn't have signed McFadz considering Rose was already on his way. I think we'd maybe still be a bit naive at the back without his leadership so may actually be better without him.I wonder if Willis regrets leaving. Personally, I think he’d be perfect in our current setup!
Rose, Hyam and McFad all looked really good yesterday barring the occasional little mistake. Playing 3 at the back seems to help us play from the back too, so it’s a well suited system for us.
Don't speak too soon. Only been one game so far this year.Can’t think of a goal he’s caused through his keeping mistakes this year.
I said this to my son on the way back yesterday. At the moment we look the more likely club for promotion. I am well aware that this can and might change. I suppose the increase in wages will be a compensation for him.I wonder if Willis regrets leaving. Personally, I think he’d be perfect in our current setup!

Out of a whole what?Vital to how we play
My o ly question mark has been does he make the big save thst can pull uscout of a whole. Yesterday he did
Excellent signing
Dont be so bitterWillis can fuck off. Like him as a player and the pace he brings, but the whole “I want to go somewhere bigger” then going to a team further down the division plus the fact he waited to run his contract down until after we’d get no compensation leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Just feel that when a club has developed you you pay something back either through reputation by going higher or through cash.
Dont be so bitter
