Bramble'esque is a very good analogy hopefully applied just tonight 

[Menace]

Whats happened to our CB's last few weeks man

[Big Geordie]

Yup - shades of Bramble tonight - we all know that he has a bad rick in him.

partly the lack

if protection/ confidence in the midfield in front of them imho

[Pilko]

He activated cart horse mode for their goal, not a clue what the fuck he was doing.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

A lot of the time I think he looks better than everyone assumes TBH. But definitely can be shown up when the game is scrappy and intense. That does apply to most CBs though TBF. 

 

Dire mistake tonight of course. 

[Kid Icarus]

That was like a homage to Titus Bramble. Exemplary for 90% of the match then did something inexplicable that of course got punished 

[Pata]

I really liked him most of the game. Looked very strong stepping up and intercepting things while being comfortable in possession. No idea what he did for the goal though, somehow just missed the ball entirely after the bounce from a fucking throw-in.

Just a dodgy bounce, I think ?‍♂️

[STM]

Pleased. He adds depth to our CB position. Would have been silly allowing him to leave for nothing.

[The Prophet]

Adds depth at CB and is a huge presence behind the scenes by all accounts.

 

Phasing the old guard and their leadership group will be a gradual process I'd imagine.

[GeordieDazzler]

Happy with this. Done a great job when he had to play that extended period of games. 

[SUPERTOON]

I’d imagine it’s more so we can get a bit of money for him tbh.

Even that makes sense tbh, he's only 30 so good for a few seasons yet, and he's still a very capable CB when called upon. We should be able to get some reasonable money for him if a club wants to buy. If not, he's worth his place as cover.

[Likelylad]

We do need another CB but he's a solid 4th choice option. 

[Guest]

Either means no centre-back this summer, or Burn still considered a left-back. 

[timeEd32]

Happy with that as it gives us more flexibility. 

[BergenMagpie]

Also gives another year to see what trajectory Charlie McArthur and Cathal Heffernan are on

Burn has played LB for pretty much 2 seasons. He's an inferior CB to Lascelles. I'm glad he's not considered a CB. Back-up LB or sold, please.

 

This assumes we sign a CB in the summer. I'd rather a CB than an out and out ST.

 

RW

LB
CB

 

Anything else is a bonus or 1 in 1 out.

I'm sorry like but a striker is way more important than a left back this summer, even if Hall goes back to Chelsea. We'd still have Burn, Targett and Tino who could play there next season.

[The College Dropout]

Its only Burn that starts when everyone is fit. That's signing up for another season with Burn at LB. No thanks.

 

Someone to warm the bench for Isak isn't a priority for me. We still have Isak, Wilson & Gordon on the books. 33 goals between the 3 so far this season.

You won't get more than half a season out of Wilson and Gordon is far more valuable on the wing. We could get away with it if there is no european football next season, otherwise we'd need a third striking option.

Wilson shouldn't need to play half a season and Gordon has arguably the strongest back-up in our squad. Wages and fee his back-up shouldn't even be a back-up.
