I find these stats rather bamboozling; apart from Oxford away I can't remember any goals Argyle conceded that you could directly attribute to Burton.

Danny, when on his game and focused was as good as anyone in the EFL, but to go out on a high, and with respect to his family, is the right decision for him and the club. Good luck Danny, you sacrificed a lot to be here and no doubt you were commited.
Conor too, total professional, great guy, lovely left foot. But time and circumstances have caught up with him. Good luck Conor, always a green.
Now, return of the Morgan?
and who else? exciting pre season ahead.

He's a goal keeper. He isn't just there to not give goals away through mistakes. That is a pretty low bar lol.
He's there to try to prevent goals from others' mistakes or from good oppositional play.
Just because he hasn't done anything blatantly wrong like throwing the ball in his own net, doesn't mean he has done a well as could be possible.
Not his fault, but Cooper was not only a brilliant shot stopper, he dominated his box, claimed crosses, communicated well and set up attacks with quick, smart play, an amazing throw and brilliant execution. He stopped goals that noone could have expected.
Many times watching Burton he didn't do much 'wrong' (if you don't count him staying on the goal line at most corners and crosses), but especially early on it seemed almost every shot was a goal against.
Not having goals attributed to him doesn't mean he doesn't have weaknesses, or that he is on Cooper's level. Not his fault of course.
I think pace is something that will need addressing across the board.
You could probably take off a few goals from that opening shaky period when he first came in, where he was very understandably rusty.
I feel he just got better and better, and by the last few games I didn't have an ounce of worry in him.

Given Mayor and Grant are both likely to return to the north west, I wonder if a club with some common sense may try and pick both up. They’re a great pairing down the left hand side at L1 level.
Devastated that DM10 is leaving but wish him all the best.
Grant I think is a better full back then a winger - but a true professional. Hope he finds a team somewhere.
Bolton when fit is as good as Scarr - shame he could not stay fit. Wish him all the best.
Have seen some great goals scored by young Luke-but looks like he has lost form - hope he also finds a team.
Hope the young goalkeeper finds somewhere.

It will be interesting to see who emerges as our left wing backs with Miller Earley Wright and Endacott.More than enough there to explain why Grant wasn’t offered a contract but nobody offering what Mumba offers.At least there is a place up for grabs.May the best men win.
Not that I noticed. I often see players run past him and leave him in their wake. I felt if there was a weakness in our defence this season it was a lack of pace.
Do you have a link to this? It would be interesting to know what data is used to assess a keeper. I understand that km covered / tackles made / successful passes etc would be fairly easily quantifiable for an outfield player.
My 'subjective fan' impression of Callum Burton in recent weeks has been that he has been solid.
Five of the goals he conceded were during the horror show at Peterborough, when I don't recall him being at fault particularly.
In recent weeks I have felt quite confident in him, during what was, to put it mildly, a nail biting period!
