Optimistic Nut Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 So sloppy but you can see why you try and have a right footer on the right and a left footer on the left (Burn made a similar poor pass just before the goal when he switched). The passing lines are completely different when you're on the unnatural side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Misery Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) Sven and Dan are also pretty slow as a combination. Edited February 24 by Mr Misery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Thought Burn was much worse when on the right side tonight. Definitely goes to show the difference for a left footer on particular playing wrong side. If he's fit then it's Thiaw and Botman for me for the rest of the season.

Wallsendmag Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Clearly not fit but was needed to play tonight. Cracking header for the goal. Hopefully can get a run of games going now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

black_n_white Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Whilst I love Dan Burn, Botman and Thiaw are the future and I’d like to see more of the two together for the remaining season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEFAFWISP Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Still shocked he's stayed fit past February. Mad lad might be worth his wages at this rate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC91 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I think next season he needs to be a squad player, got far too tight to Brobbey yesterday 4 times in first half and got turned, he seems to do it a lot, I remember DCL and solanke turning him in Identical scenarios as well.

Menace Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 He's overrated and a shadow of the player he used to be. Brobbey rinsed him yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why he engaged him so often, he got ragged about every time. He was lucky he got knocked out really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Don’t think he was done any favours by being played on the right, but dear Christ he was fucking shite. Burn barely any better, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burn barely any better, like. The way our midfield sets up only works if out defense can push up but they lack pace and drop off creating loads of space in front of them. Been an issue for awhile and a factor in us concerning loads of goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 All of our centre backs got done over by Brobbey for most of the game. But Botman just got ragdolled by him. I know he's a unit. But your CB's shouldn't be getting dominated like that in physical battles so often. I know we like to play that way in how the CB's engage forwards. But FFS, do any players adapt and act as the coach on the field nowadays?! You could see it wasn't working from about 4-5 minutes in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 He got thrown about like a wet tracksuit by Brobbey yesterday, I wouldn't be at all fussed if we sold him, he's a far cry from his 22/23 self Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 He approached the battle with Brobbey wrongly but I still think he’s generally a very good CB. In hindsight Thiaw was the one that was best suited to handling him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think the next time Botman gets a consistent run in the team (which - in the final run of the season - is dependent solely on staying fit, you'd think), he'll demonstrate that he's the best CB on our books, as he has done before. When he's in and out the team his form is patchy. I do share the frustrations about him not showing enough for us on the whole. Hopefully get a big season from him next year.

SUPERTOON Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Still think it was the right call to rest Thiaw mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 This is the worry I think all our centre back look dodgy as fuck. For all Thiaw can look like a Rolls Royce at times, I don’t think it’s any coincidence we’ve shipped so many goals with him playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he looks fucking rapid and defends really aggressively a lot of the time. I agree with you. I think he would have been perfect for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, wouldn't be disappointed to see 2 new centre halfs in the opening line up in August myself. Botman and Thiaw as back ups. Schar (unfortunately) and Burn (great signing at the time) need replacing with younger legs. Then we'll need 2 RBs and a back up LB too 🙈 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already have a decade of advantages - now they have to be ruthlessly efficient in every aspect? Even last summer, Reinjders - fairly cheap, as were Cherki, Ait Nouri and then Guehi and Semenyo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
