The College Dropout Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 20 minutes ago, TRon said: Look mate, it was you who was describing him as a nothing player just a few days ago. Also complaining about his reported wages and being a step down from Dan Burn just a few posts up. Not really sure what you are complaining about if you think he's a perfectly decent back up player who improves the squad. For a reported £100k-150k I would hope for someone a level up on Dan Burn. If he’s on squad player wages that’s fair enough. But I would still want to see more from him. I’m hoping he improves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Early days. I'd expect he'd become more useful to us than a long term LCB/LB backup player, based on Bournemouth fans talking about him pushing for an England international spot. Hopefully it's just a matter of him adjusting to Howe-ball (or Howe adjusting to a new player with different attributes than he's used to having) as we've seen with so many players before him.

The College Dropout Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 I hope so too. I was expecting a bit more than we’ve seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieToon Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 need to give the lad time. most players who come under howe need time to adjust. just look at Gordon he said he was blowing out his arse for the first 6 month. but boy has he come good now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Surely there’s a difference to carrying out the pressing plan which can take time to learn get fitness, then there’s to playing in defence? Just looks very limited, which is fair, but not when he’s on £100k+ and we’ve got him for rest of decade. Likely going to end up being in 18 months time at best, 3rd choice LB and 5th choice CB.

nufc123 Posted Wednesday at 21:38 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:38 He can play CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted Wednesday at 21:39 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:39 Easily his best performance for us this season, outside of a couple of his moments in that first half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted Wednesday at 21:40 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:40 Better at CB, he uses his speed and aggressiveness well there. Seems the polar opposite at full back. Drops off and doesn’t go tight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted Wednesday at 21:52 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:52 Should be ahead of burn if we wanna play a highline. All burn brings is height and leadership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted Wednesday at 21:53 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:53 Gotta be in ahead of Burn now. Just for the pace alone, we need it if we're gonna play high and press. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That leadership isn't to be sniffed at when Trippier isn't on the pitch, but other than that I agree re. The press etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how good Arsenal are from set pieces, I’d imagine Burn will start Saturday for his height if nothing else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted Wednesday at 21:59 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:59 Did very well today and is clearly a better CB than LB. Helps our high press with his recovery pace at the back for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted Wednesday at 21:59 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:59 Mixed bag performance i thought but that block was as good as a goal on the other end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted Wednesday at 22:03 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:03 Burn seems to be caught up the pitch even when we've not had a corner or setpiece. Fuck knows what he's playing at, he's not schar that can actually dribble past people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted Wednesday at 22:24 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:24 Thought he looked excellent at his defensive duties at CB tonight. Which is weird given the amount of sad knackers on here wanting to write him off after 2 months of his NUFC career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted Wednesday at 23:05 Share Posted Wednesday at 23:05 Thought his pace made a real difference tonight. He looks a good tackler as well, very happy with that performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted Wednesday at 23:17 Share Posted Wednesday at 23:17 At times it feels like people - and I include myself in that - are always looking for the first excuse to get Burn out of the team. But from what I saw tonight it felt good having Kelly in his place. I'll avoid rushing to a conclusion but hopefully we see more in the future.
