    I didn't see any difference between the cock ups that Matthews made tonight and the ones that Burge makes every game. Both indecisive and low in confidence.

    Both absolutely ****e. Still rather have Matthews in goal personally though. We should be going all out to find a keeper who is a free agent. We will not be anywhere near the play offs with these liability’s in goal.

    I do, not knowing when to come for it or stay on his line is Burge's main problem and that was neatly reflected in Matthews tonight. At least in Matthews' defence he's not had the run of games that Burge has had to get his eye in.

    I haven't seen Burge play as poorly as that, it was terrifying.

    As bad as our keepers are... At least we didn’t pay £67m for all of them let alone 1!!!

    4 goals for Wyke and 2 pen saves from Burge

    Imagine saying that a couple of months back. Well done lads <laugh>

    Got a message to say that a Sunderland staff member, not on the football side, asked KLD if 'it' was done.

    He nodded, grinned then put his finger to his lips.

    Sorry but that's it for me ...

    ... off to the fridge <party>

    I don't think Burge put a foot wrong yesterday, one save from Akins was top class.

    I think we should concentrate on the rest of the team ...

    ... just let him settle and become more confident.

    Clean sheet after clean sheet, what more could you want from a keeper?

    He’s starting to look much more like the keeper I saw when he first signed and Jon McLaughlin got injured! Might be the settled defence in front. Looking back at my comments on here, my opinion has completely changed!!

    You’d be hard pushed to find a keeper with a better record in the EFL. 17 clean sheets from 28 in the league and 19 from 32 in all competitions. Add to that 3 saves from the 6 penalties he’s faced and he looks a very good keeper.

    Going to change the bedding this weekend, will take them round to Burges house. He seems good at clean sheets.

    Hes doing well and was excellent against Tranmere but I think he is our weakest link. There were occasions last night when he was so indecisive at coming for crosses. He has zero presence. He is terrible with his feet as well. I'm glad hes keeping clean sheets and not making glaring errors but I'm still not convinced by him

    A few people looking a bit silly now. As predicted, he’s been class lately.

    well it is a forum of opinions and not everyone has the same view, i had a good chat with Mick Sterbs about Burge and enjoyed it, come away thinking canny lad, you get to see the other persons points of view, i was a bit silly and had a bit of a heated debate with Nacho over points of view , another good poster who does some very nice posts, not everyone will agree with him but that's what the boards for different perspectives. Since you came on this board i find your view refreshing and point out things other people don't notice, I could but wont put up posts of what some have said which would make them look foolish but there is no need for that, at the end of the day its just words for a chat agree or disagree, its no reason to fall out over a difference of opinion. As for me i enjoy your posts and points of view even if they differ from mine sometimes
