Dan Burn: "It's good that we've got those two lads (Hall & Tino) coming back, because they're big players for us.
I've built up a fair amount of credit with my performances since I've been here, so I'm confident I'll continue to play."
I love BDB but he's out of his mind if he thinks he starts ahead of Hall or Tino at left-back when they are fit.
He's a CB and against pacy players gets caught out time and time again.
He can fill in the odd game. But hes no fullback.
Another thing; Even though hes got a long throw, its a waste not to have him in the box on those situations. I dont get it!! Your tallest player should be in the box in attacking throw in situations!
Yeah we need him in the box not taking the throws
Needs must as the devil drives sadly right now.
Burn's a lad who would play anywhere the manager asked him to.
He'd not a Full-Back. It's clear missing Hall & Tino has seen the team suffer. When they are back wins will come.
What 6'7" Dan Burn is doing taking attacking throw-ins is beyond me.
He's the target not the taker. That needs to change.
He should definitely not be taking throw-ins, but I don't think Hall is always the better option ahead of Burn.
I think the whole "he gets caught out"-argument is lacking quite a few tactical nuances - not that I'm a coach, but it seems Eddie would agree with me here ;) Burn does get caught out at times, but so do our regular full-backs. It's what happens with the shape of the team, the plan and the positioning of other key players that are (also) essential to whether or not we are giving away a lot of chances on the left-hand side. I would even say that being without too much pace in that position can be an advantage (give and take).
