Burge in goalkeeping shocker! Surprise surprise.

[sw88]

Bright’s decision making is woeful at times!

 

[luwalla]

Can’t believe we are going in 3-3 , some horrific defending down the left & a clanger from burge

 

[Nick]

Thing is though they still have players like McGeady to bring on when we are blowing

 

[covcity4life]

Playoffs are gone

Lee burge shpuld not play again for ccfc now

End season with backup

 

[Paul Anthony]

We should be pissing this. Somehow we've absolutely bottled It. Talk about letting your opponents off the hook.

 

[Esoterica]

Burge should have been coming for the 3rd too I think. That ball has looped in from miles out and he has to know Mason is a short arse and it's dropping into his zone.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Why so much injury time at the end of the half

I wouldn’t play him on principle, it’s laughable he wouldn’t sign a contract with us either. His next club’s fans are going to be so forgiving for his mistakes

 

[Exit Stage Left]

Great shit stopper

Great shit show

 

[ccfc92]

I wonder what MR is saying, encouraging or going ballistic?

 

[Magwitch]

Burge just needs to go through the defender and take the ball. Simple stuff and if he gets blocked he wins a free kick.

I don’t want to go on about him but Stockdale does just that and people say he only looks good cos he has nothing to do.

Still think despite getting us playing well Robins dropped a big clanger not bringing in a keeper at the very least on loan in January, especially as O’Brien had this long term injury.

 

[kg82]

Yeah, we don’t deserve to be 3-3. But you don’t do the basics you get done.

 

[Esoterica]

Encouraging his midfield and attack and bollocking the defence I'd say!

 

[Nick]

I am scared for the 10 minutes after kickoff

 

[ccfcway]

played fantastic at times, buts its very clear the defence don't have any confidence in Burge at all.

 

[skybluepm2]

Game was in the bag. Front 4 were immense for first 30 before that useless piece of shit pops up with 2 absolute gifts. They’ve not even threatened. I’d drag him and stick Addai on, this can’t continue.

 

[peace ndlovu]

For a while I thought he got too much stick on here.
I was wrong. He started the season well but has been a liability on too many occasions

Not just January. We’ve neglected the position for years and it’s one of the most important on the pitch. We have to hope we’ve done some serious scouting for a decent replacement.

I do wonder where Burge will end up.

After that collapse, we could be on for a spanking. 5 or 6 - 3

 

[Skybluefaz]

Imagine if we had a proper goalie

 

[Johnnythespider]

Burge should have been coming for the 3rd too I think. That ball has looped in from miles out and he has to know Mason is a short arse and it's dropping into his zone.

After the first cock up he will be rooted to his line for the rest of the game.

 

[Nick]

I'd take Burge off now, we aren't going to get promoted.

Tell him and his agent to have fun in the Championship and that he is free to go now.

 

[Esoterica]

It's a massive ask to go there and win. They're unbeaten in 19 in the league and haven't lost at home all season - W11 D9 L0. But that's still not their most impressive stat in my opinion. Their ability to equalise is 100% - they've gone behind in 10 of those 20 home games and come back every single time. That's the kind of team spirit, composure and determination that gets you automatic promotion.

That's 12 times in 21 home games they've gone behind now and equalised. As sickening as it is, it's damn impressive over a season.

League 2 and dropped to the bench midway through the season

 

[luwalla]

burge fucked up yes, but it was only a matter of time anyway, they were all over us getting crosses in at will. And when the crosses arrive in the box they have men unmarked and in space every time

Wasn’t like we were in charge of the game any more , and that burge fuck up was the only thing that let them back in really

 

[Liquid Gold]

Yep. Once he makes one mistake his head drops and he turns to shit.

Perhaps Sunderland are signing him

 

[peace ndlovu]

We are consistently one of the most attractive teams in the division...but so lacking in grit and resilience

O'Brien is fit now. Played for U23's yesterday but he's had some sort off fall out so is in the bomb squad

 

[Adge]

Best 30 mins I’ve seen us play in a long time-we were cutting through them like a knife through butter. The Burge apologists can't even blame the forwards for missing chances as they have done the business today. Taxi for Lee I’m afraid-but I’m telling everyone what they already know.

 

[Nick]

Chucked 50p on 5-3 Sunderland

I agree to an extent and always feel we end up too deep in our own penalty area but if those crosses are from the touchline looped into the 6 yard box it really shouldnt matter.

So he’s responsible then.

 

[ccfcme]

Dont forget people, he’s a good shot stopper!
