What an idiotic statement, grow up you foolO Brien looked a good keeper until he spent more and more time under oggys guidance now hes a nervous wreck. What does that man have to do to keep his job?

I wonder if Oggy had any say so in bringing O'Brien to the club.
If Burge comes back in it will be interesting to see just how much Oggy has improved him. If he isn't improved at all, then you have to say what's the point him even being here.
If we have a good goalkeeping coach we should at least have half decent goalkeepers.
Not to my mind he hasn't and it is Burge I am talking about when I say 'what's the point of him even being here?'How do you measure improvement? People seem to suggest Burge has improved haven't they?

Think you agree Burge isn't good enough. So why's he still here?
So you think Robins is wrong on this one then? You've clearly said many times you think Burge isn't good enough.Because robins think he is - clearly.

Well true.I think the lower the league you are in the worse quality of player there is available.
By definition the likes of Haynes, Burge etc. Have to be better in the leagues that are lower.
There's going to be fewer keepers as well to pick from than outfield players.
Oggy wa poor dealing with crosses and distribution and most of these goalies struggle with the same is it a coincidence?
He looked good until we saw him for an amount of games that still isn't enough to judge him on. I'd give him one more game and if he makes another mistake, leading to a goal or not, it's Burge's turn.O Brien looked a good keeper until he spent more and more time under oggys guidance now hes a nervous wreck.

Crosses were definitely Oggy's Achilles heel. Great shot stopper and very good command of his area, but poor on crosses and bad on distribution.Oggy wa poor dealing with crosses and distribution and most of these goalies struggle with the same is it a coincidence?
In my opinion Oggy is the best goalkeeper I have seen play for the club, closely followed by Bill Glazier. When there was the pole on here for best players we have had in each position two years ago, he was voted best keeper. He played all of his City games for a top flight team and kept his place on merit until his late thirties. Every manager who was here in that period picked him as their number one (I know Bobby Gould picked his son over him for a few games). He saw off challenger after challenger until age and Hedman took his place. It seems to me that he is criticised for simply still being here. Unless you see what he does on a day to day basis how can you know he is a poor coach?
Polls mean nothing people only vote for who they can remember and have seen, have you ever seen Clarrie Bourton in any poll team and Robbie Keane gets in before Terry Gibson
I didn't see Glazier but my dad tells me he was way ahead of Oggy.
Oggy saw of various other keepers but none were brilliant they were just signed as understudies people like Jake Findlay as soon as a decent keeper appeared Oggy was rightly removed.
I know a former youth team player Oggy coached and he told me he was very good but you can now only comment on the current players and they go backwards under him

Filan was a premier league keeper who never hardly played when Oggy was here.
In my opinion Glazier was 10 times the goalie Oggy ever was.Polls mean nothing people only vote for who they can remember and have seen, have you ever seen Clarrie Bourton in any poll team and Robbie Keane gets in before Terry Gibson

Otis, you know I love you fella and I bow to nobody for my affection for Bill Glazier, who I sing about in the shower daily.In my opinion Glazier was 10 times the goalie Oggy ever was.
Different times though for sure. The difference between Glazier and Oggy for me was that rather than dive and palm away, Glazier would dive and actually catch the ball, so imagine a shot blasted in with the keeper stretching. Most keepers palm the ball to safety. Glazier would dive and then be able clasp and clutch the ball with both hands mid flight.
Is this a serious post? We've supposed to believe that in a matter of days Oggy has some removed all of O'Brien's ability as a keeper?O Brien looked a good keeper until he spent more and more time under oggys guidance now hes a nervous wreck. What does that man have to do to keep his job?
Haha.I think we should bring in another goalkeeping coach the keepers aren't improving under oggy even young Corey addai can't catch a cross and he's about 7 foot tall. I wouldn't make oggy redundant I'd give him a job in the club shop stocking the high shelves. I know he would drop one or two items but least it wouldn't cost us a few goals

But to say that Glazier was ten times the Oggy was is in my opinion "rose tinted glasses"
Glazier was a classic keeper, was known for palming the ball in to the path of on coming strikers. It was his Achilles heel.
Oggy was exposed by the changes in the law that meant kicking became a bigger part of the game.
Both great keepers, both club legends.
I still think Burge will eventually come through.
Watching Kasper Smeichal last night for Leicester reminded me of that, Especially on the second goal conceded.
Hope you get my drift, he had many faults at Burge's age.
