You could have said that about Bruno in January and Howe judged that spot on. It's hardly much of an issue. Botman will be our number 1 defender in the next few years at least. Of course some will cry like bairns when they don't get what they want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonesJones Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Personally wasn't expecting us to go after a CB, wouldn't have been unhappy going into the season with Burn and Schar. However after watching him so far, regardless of it being pre season, he looks a big upgrade on what we have and possibly essential to the way we now aim to play?

BoSelecta Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 With not having strengthened up top yet we may need his incisive passes from the back even more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I think Bruno was eased in because he was joining a team that was gaining momentum and players who were not previously performing, were coming alive and getting really good pitch time. With Botman he's had his entire preseason with us, so I imagine he should be ready to roll. I expect him to start, he's the marquee defender we've wanted for ages and he should start IMO.

Dr Jinx Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 He will have to bide his time a little, I suspect Eddie Howe didn’t want some of the more competitive clubs to be able to scout us with him in the strongest side as he will make a difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Puppets Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Was lucky enough to be in corporate hospitality today and was sat next to Botman’s dad all game. His whole family, mum, dad, brothers, sisters and grandma all came across. Absolutely lovely family. So proud of their lad. When the flag display was in full flow pre kick-off, Botman’s dad turned to me and said “I think he made the right choice!” 😍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Howe won't change a winning team without good reason, ie injuries or suspensions. We saw that with Bruno. We'll not see Botman start next match either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 As much as I like Burn, he has his moments when up against the better sides. Only a matter of time before he rushes in and makes a mistake that leads to a goal. Once that happens, Big Sven is in the mixa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 (edited) They saw him make his debut and play 3 mins and at least kick the ball! Nah the atmosphere and win, perfect stuff for them to see. Edited August 6 by Kanji Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
