Guest Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Reading this page, poor Targett man. Seems to have been written off and all due to a bit bad timing with when he got his injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Boyo Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Everyone of those players at the back has made mistakes. Target has been away for a while, but in that last game there showed glimpses of what he was like when we brought him here. Like the rest of the squad, he’ll be that bit more sharper there now going into the two games over the weekend. Whether he starts games or is back-up to potentially a new left-back he’s certainly someone I wouldn’t target…..get it? Target! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he did great when he first came, but the reason I, and I guess most other people don't talk about him as our first choice LB is because Eddie doesn't seem to see him as that. Even last season when most people were calling for Dan Burn to be dropped and Targett to come in, Eddie stuck with Burn and Targett warmed the bench. If he's our first choice LB this season, great!

I do agree on upgrades, and it will start to happen on players we like and are good. It’s more the way some people go on about Burn which I find annoying. All this “can’t believe we will be going into the season with Burn” is doing the bloke a huge discredit. He played a massive part in creating one of the meanest defences out there, and I think the disrespect he gets is baffling. I would look at left back to upgrade, but if it doesn’t come off, I won’t be throwing my arms in the air in disgust with Burn playing there, he’s shown he is perfectly capable. Basically I think the Burn slating is lifting and uncalled for. Edited August 3, 2023 by reefatoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying you would prefer to go into next season with a specialist mobile full back instead of Dan Burn playing there, isn't.

Guest reefatoon Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 37 minutes ago, Holmesy said: It's not hate at all. I rate him and i think he's a really good guy, but he's a CB filling in at LB. It's hardly lunacy to suggest I would prefer a good specialist left back playing in that position is it? Are there any other teams in the Premier League or Champions League that played almost the entire season with a centre back playing as a fullback? He will be targeted next season, you know he will. Add speed, mobility, crossing ability and attacking prowess on that left hand side and we look more balanced and more threathening. And how many of those teams had a better defensive record than us? We didn’t carry Dan Burn through it all, he was an integral part of it. I kept reading how he would be targeted last season and it didn’t happen. Yes he is a centre back playing left back, but as a left back he had a fantastic season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Buying a quality specialist left back doesn't automatically mean Burn won't ever play there. We are weak in numbers on the left side of defence (Burn, Targett, Dummett to cover 2 positions, and of course Dummet doesn't even count really). It would also give us another option, and another dimension when needed. Got to think the club will be trying their hardest to make something happen here.

The College Dropout Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 2 hours ago, Holmesy said: Yes, that's kind of cementing my point though. I know we can't go out and spend a billion pounds but we've just finished 4th. Build on it. I guess there are two approaches - accept that it was a bit of a fluke and be happy with 6th next season or use it as a launch platform and try to cement our place in the top 4. Given the ambitions of our owners, I thought it would be the second option. As it is, it looks to be the first, and i can't be the only one that's disappointed with that? It’s just because of FFP. PIF tried to sign Mbappe to Saudi. If it was an option with us, they would be all over it. It’s not possible. So we are doing the best we can with what we have. It is a bit shit aye.
