Title: Stuart Coburn staying
Post by: ScoreDaws on May 28, 2011, 02:26:29 PM
Hello

Just to say that I have being following this forum for quite a while now, and it's about time I joined!

Anyway, I bumped into Stuart Coburn yesterday and had a good chat with him.  The good news is that he is staying and is looking forward to working with the new manager and he seemed very positive on the season ahead.  ;D

Never in doubt really....total 100% club man and a great foundation to build the team around.

Cobes, a legend
England's Number 1 (with or without his name on the back of the jersey !)

Stuart Coburn is a true Alty legend, a wonderful club man and a really nice guy.

I can't speak highly enough of him and it's great to have him onboard for the new season.

I think Coburn is past it, thought he had a crap season and if we are serious about trying for promotion we should get rid of him.

Bit drastic! He played amazing at times. Why would we get rid of him he will play for peanuts. Maybe try to bring in a younger keeper and have Stu on the becnh but this just seems a bizarre thing to say....

Ecky, please ban this filth. People like this shouldn't be allowed on the forum.

No - though we should try to get hold of a 'second' keeper good enough to really challenge for the position (which means better than Dootson or Coates). Stuart has his faults, which are becoming a bit more accentuated as the years go by, but he remains an excellent shot-stopper.

I put it to you good folks on this forum, If you are going to pick holes in last seasons  squad then no bastard should be retained... Stu Coburn has got us out of the SH1T more than any bugger.   FACT

I'm glad that to hear he may be staying

Well said Ray. But we do need decent cover for him because the injuries are becoming more frequent.

I think you've just said that to get peoples backs up ( or my back up ) like the whole "all the team need to play well" row you started last year.

One of the most disrespectful posts that has been on here for years.

Made 2 or 3 mistakes but made 20 or 30 wonder saves.

If Stu had been fit at seasons end, we would still be in the BSP.
Fantastic news that he wants to stay, maybe this will persuade a few others to do the same.

Always good to have players challenging for positions.
Will do Stuart, and Alty good if we get a good back up.

Didn't get to many games least season but amongst others I was at Darlington (where we could easily have lost 4 or 5 but for Stu), at home to Tamworth (crucial finger stip save on to the bar before we went 2 up) and the last game. This is not meant to be a dig at Dootson but in my view if Stu had been playing against Eastbourne we would still be in the BSP. He's never been the best at crosses (if he was he'd have gone to Leicester or Palace) but I'd be suprised if there's a better keeper in our league next year, if he can avoid injury, which I think is the real issue with him.

Welcome to the posting world, prepare to be patronised and lambasted at will.

Thanks for the info too, really good news in my opinion.

Stu - still keeping us in more games that I would care to count.

No-one is to stone anyone until I blow this whistle...even (and I want to make this absolutly clear)...even if they do say 'Coburn'

That's all I have to say on this subject.

So we're starting next season with probably the best keeper in the league.

Dreadful news. Dreadful!!

You ask any proper football fan and they will tell you that Stuart Coburn is the best shot stopper (not neccessarily the best GK) in non league. He is quality and still has years to go if you ask me.
