Dan Burn

[nufc123]

This is on the manager not Burn.

[El Prontonise]

Love him to bits but he's sometimes lamb to the slaughter at LB.

[Kimbo]

Most of us knew this would happen when he started playing at LB again. Him playing there should be a desperate last resort, not something you stick with when you don’t have to.

Can't even be mad at him. We had the most blatant let off after he was on a yellow card, the manager chose not to act and then he's sent off. Ridiculous that he was left out there.

[pubteam]

Burn continues to be a centre half playing at full back who doesn’t have the pace or positional awareness to pull the position off. It’s always been the case. I feel sorry for him, Howe has absolutely hung him out to dry.

As much as I disagree it was a pen that should have  been enough to have him subbed.

[jackyboy]

Howe should have taken him off earlier. It was obvious what was going to happen 

[Weezertron]

He’s a hero but can be proper donkey at left back.

Doesn't pick himself.

My statement is true regardless of whether Eddie picks him or not. He’s not a good left back. Not sure why it’s a problem saying so without shifting the blame elsewhere. 

[huss9]

We know he's not a decent LB.

He's being forced to play there. 

[Sima]

If he was any sort of Newcastle fan he knew he’d be in trouble so should have feigned injury.

[gbandit]

Just isn’t a LB. Get him back in at LCB in place of Botman after his ban 

[kenlau88210]

Botman deserves to be dropped. Put Burn back to LCB and Hall back to the starting lineup. Simple stuff.

But you do have to?

[andycap]

One thing, if I was picked to be leftback and your not totally a natural in that position I would just play defensively keep it as tight as you can. And let the team be creative elsewhere. But he's up and down like a trained dolphin 🐬 😂 

[joeyt]

History repeating itself unfortunately

 

Feel sorry for him

[Fenham Mag]

Is that him banned for 2 games?

We’re told that Hall is fit. If he’s not fit enough to start games then hopefully he will be at some point soon, because this is a game losing weakness.

[Danh1]

Coming out mid week saying he doesn’t expect to be dropped. Shambolic. 
 

He shouldn’t be anywhere near the team unless he’s at centre half. 

[Conjo]

Wouldn't even have had to take him off imo. Could also have taken Botman off and moved Burn to CB if he has to play every minute of every game.
