    Oliver McBurnie

    Even before Saturday i knew he was a decent goalscorer so how did Dingles manage to sign him in January and we got crock Wilson? He looked very good saturday and didn't realise how big and mobile he also was

    I thought he started the game really well on Saturday and was a threat throughout along with Moore. Barnsley fans really rate both of them.

    Barnsley ex-player on radio slated him in the first half and for not helping when we had a purple patch in the second...he even read out a text he got from his mate asking why McB was in the team.....McB then proceeded to show what he could do after we seemed to take the foot off the gas. Don't see him as the answer unless he upped his work rate.

    Keith Edwards was appalled by his scruffy appearance but seemed to appreciate his work rate!

    TT I heard him say he was scuffy but don't remember any comment about his work rate but I have slept since then. perhaps it was the Barnsley bloke who didn't rate him until we went 2-1 up?

    They were talking about his appearance and how he wasn't in the game at all and just stood about towards the wing doing nothing when he picked up the ball and did well with it. Keef then regaled us with tales about his own (lack of) work rate and said that it wasn't all about running around.

    Barnsley fan in peace. Mcburnie is played out of position still he managed to knock one in despite that. From an outside perspective I liked the look of Clarke and Sharpe up front for you this season. They've done well for you

    Just while I'm here lads. A quick mention for your manager. I like his honesty and integrity. It's so refreshing to hear a manager who can be honest abart a game of football and not look to blame others for bad results. The man is a class act and he plays the game in the right way too.
