I never knock our players, good, bad or indifferent, achieves nothing imo.Lee burge was awful. Come on now. Marosi secured the back adding confidence to the CB in front of him. I remember suggesting he was my player of the season such was his overall influence to the team. When a team believes in a keeper there is a surge of spirit throughout the team.

If you'd been at that Walsall away game you'd knock Lee Burge
He'd actually been pretty consistent that season until that game, but was woeful for ages following his mistakes.If you'd been at that Walsall away game you'd knock Lee Burge
The one where he came flying out in the last minute?
I am glad we got rid of Burge and bought in Marosi. We could not have played in the style we do with Burge in the team, and the defenders in front of him would not have been so confident. That said, I can't bring myself to hate him or hope his career dives like some do on here. He was part of our League 2 promotion team, and played a significant part in us winning the Checkatrade at Wembley so for that I thank him and wish him good luck.
But it is trolling to pretend there isn't a problem and tell other fans to stop having a goI never knock our players, good, bad or indifferent, achieves nothing imo.

He really has yesI think posters are being harsh on Burge. A change was obviously needed as there's no doubt he's a poor keeper at L1 level but to throw about terms like 'horrendous' and 'embarrassment' when describing his spell at the club is a bit embarrassing in itself IMO.
I for one thought he had a fairly solid season in L2 - obviously made a few of his typical mistakes but he still played a pivotal role in helping the CCFC achieve promotion back to L1 and cup success in the Checkatrade Trophy.
I'm sure such comments are probably coming from the same posters who once hailed Ponticelli as the next messiah and who insist we re-sign Ryan Giles permanently despite only playing 5 minutes for the club.
Regardless, back to Marosi. He's been a revelation this season. Nothing more to be said really.
I was one of the people always defending burge but I was wrong. From the first game of the season the confidence and swag of Marosi changed our whole identity of being a ball playing team out from the back without panic. Underrated shot stopper too (because we all talk about his ball playing ability) but made some phenomenal saves along the way.

He was no better than Ryan Allsopp and he got so much shit from our fans. I don’t wish Ill on Burge but I was so relieved when he went.I think posters are being harsh on Burge.

Credit is also surely deserving to Aled Williams, as even Marosi acknowledged how he has coached him. Quite a coincidence that in the first year of having a new goalkeeping coach, our defensive record was so fantastic...
Yep he made a rare gaffe against Rotherham for their goal but followed it with an outstanding finger tip save.
Not to knock Marosi or Williams but a lot of it was also down to our formation and defence. We faced second fewest shots, conceded second fewest goals. Marosi made second fewest saves of any goalkeeper on a per game basis at 2.1 saves per game.
