And, if Burge could collect a corner on the edge of his 6 yard box (a basic requirement I'd say for a professional keeper) the player who was I asked for a free header doesn't have said free header and same outcome..... NO GOAL.This is bollocks. Football doesn't work like that and you know it.
If you want to play that game then how about if the defender doesn't lose his man at the corner then we win the game. Don't hear anyone giving the defender (was it Hyam? Not sure) dogs abuse.
You could, and I'm sure if you look at this forum, each will have their own individual thread with their pros and cons being discussed. This thread is about Burge and his differences with Stockdale, so therefore Burge is getting a battering and rightly so.Yes. But you can apply that to just about every player in the squad.
Eg if Chaplin/Hiwula/Thomas finish more of their chances we win a lot more games

Not really.
You saw the influence a keeper had, it calmed the defence for starters.
Not sticking up for him but after seeingva decent keeper in goal for us he was gonna be on a hiding to nothing whatever he done but he duly obliged
Not really? You don't think that if we scored more of our chances we wouldn't win more games?
We have conceded the 8th fewest goals in the league but have one of the worst attacks.
Keeper/defence isn't the problem, its the other end of the pitch that is.
A keeper influences from the back, it then passes onto the defence and even midfield.
Obviously Burge isn't responsible for missing, however if we have a keeper who struggles to catch and unnerves the defence on every cross it then puts more pressure to score every chance.
I read somewhere, on average 17% of corners creat a chance, and of those, 17% are scored. It was based on something like 13k corners. I feel like we're going to concede a goal at every corner.Let's not pretend that there aren't better keepers even at league 1 level that we could get. Fair play to those that like him and want to keep him here etc. Its all about opinions. He's not the worst keeper in the world and has good shot stopping but I want a keeper that can communicate with the team. Stockdale was great at it and gave us a taste but I consider this one of the basic attributes of a keeper and we've lacked this for a while hence why he stood out. Burge is almost silent. With other keepers you see them organising the defence etc before a corner is whipped in. Considering how many corners are conceded in a game its something we can't really ignore.

Yes and no. We soaked up an awful lot of pressure today. Our front 3/4 were bystanders for the vast majority of the game.Not really? You don't think that if we scored more of our chances we wouldn't win more games?

Sorry he should come and claim balls like that. Stockdale proved how simple it is.Some posters on here seem to think it’s the easiest thing in the world for keepers to come out for corners to collect or punch. Neglecting the fact that teams load the six yard box with big lumps, which makes it difficult for a keeper to get near to the ball. So I don’t blame Burge for not coming out (if he had and been blocked, he’d have been pilloried), the problem was primarily the free header given to the scorer. Yes, he may have done better with the header, but it wasn’t primarily his fault.
I’ve said this before, we’re lusting after a keeper we can’t have, we’d be better off supporting the keeper we’re going to have for the rest of the season, and who made two decent saves at the death, to preserve a point for us.
As i said in another thread yes he makes some saves but ffs he needs to have some attributes as a goalkeeper because he cannot command his area he comes to catch a cross and invariably misses it, he cannot kick with reliability and now we have been enforced to try a new goalkeeper it has now made Stockdale appear as a demi god and shown how desperate it seems now to get a solid replacementYour right, I've never been a fan of Burge. As a former keeper myself (granted, nowhere near L1 level but still) I've always watched his positional play and thought how shit it is. I've always praised him when he's done something well or had a good game but I tend to jump on his slightest mistakes.
With that said though, he just isn't improving as a GK at all. His reaction saves have always been good, but that is the only attribute of a GK he has. He can't catch, he doesn't talk to defenders, he doesn't patrol his area, his erratic when he has the ball, his distribution is poor at best. With nearly 150 games under his belt he's one of the most experienced players in our team atm, you wouldn't think that though if you were watching him for the 1st time.
I think I (like many others) was waiting for him to make a mistake today so I could jump on him. But it was never a case of IF he would make a mistake, just a case of when it would happen. It's inevitable.

Great stat.I read somewhere, on average 17% of corners creat a chance, and of those, 17% are scored. It was based on something like 13k corners. I feel like we're going to concede a goal at every corner.
Looking at those figures, I wonder what percentage of our corners (both attacking and defending) create a chance and goals?

That’s a pretty fair assessment, Burge has been pretty good this season. Made a lot more point-saving saves than clangers.
And that's a season too late.He's got to be replaced next season.
calmed the fans tooNot really.

Yep-the usual blunder from him that again gives the opposition the momentum. What I will say though is that he could have caved in after that mistake but 2nd half he was decent enough.
Still has to go in the summer.
