Burn petrified of being on the ball under pressure in the opponent's half, makes it so much harder for Gordon and Maxi playing in front of him. 

 

Seeing now why Murphy had joy, he basically played as a wingback.

Longstaff is genuinely amazing at finding the right spot in the box, he's Kevin Nolan levels of good. Finishing more on par with a Man Utd-era Forlan though. 

 

He's a good honest pro, just lost at this level, he looks better against the likes of Southampton or Blackburn.

I disagree, I think it's a confidence/mentality thing. In every game we play, he gets at least one clear cut chance in the box. That's one more than any one of our other players gets every game.

This is it, any time he gets the ball in the opposing half it comes backwards and the attack breaks down. You can’t get away with it as an option

Burn has served us well at left back for a while, but we're absolutely crying out for a natural left back now. Hopefully Targett slots back in when he's fully fit, or we need to sign one in the summer. Can't fault his efforts, but he gets exposed so often now, you can tell teams look to exploit him every game
