Burn on Saturday

[Nufcian]

Whoever is left back will most likely be facing Elanga. While he’s not as directly quick as Ogbene he’s still quick, and has a very twisty-turny style of running at fullbacks… combine those and I think he’d be a nightmare for Burn to handle.

All this talk of Burn defending set pieces, Bruno has been on his best behaviour since being on 9 yellows, and the rest of the likely starters rarely give away free kicks in the defensive half… so it would likely be Burn bringing down Elanga that we’d need his height and presence on to defend.

So am I missing something, or should Eddie start Tino?

My worry is Eddie has a history of not dropping a player till he had ‘redeemed’ himself… like he did with Tripps… that could cost us.

We have to trust the manager

We have to trust the manager

I trust Eddie, but I do not trust DAN BURN. Keep Burn on the bench, we cannot have a dinosaur that has a turning circle of my late grandmother in a wheel chair !!!!

3 at the back with Burn as left CB and Tino as LWB.

OR

4 at the back with Tino as LB and Burn on the bench.

If we turn up with 4 at the back with Burn as LB, it will boil my piss.

less than 3 months ago Dan Burn played against M'Bappe. The fastest, most prolific striker of his generation.
M'Bappe is still in that man's pocket.

How quick some forget.

Consistency is what is important.

DBD has proven each time he's been doubted that he comes back stronger.

Howe will more likely start him and I'm gonna back the man from Blythe to bounce back stronger.

We owe these lot for the Woodinho 0-3 humping we took at SJP. So HOWAY MAN get behind the lads.

I think the rhetoric generally, and even on here (and this is a somewhat sensible board ), is waaaay too harsh on Burn. He's done wonders for us. It's true that some fans have a short memory and that BDB needs our support rather than our criticism right now. Half our squad is out injured, is now the time to criticize the ones that are actually playing???

Having said that, Burn has had a dip in form. He will come back stronger, but for now, if I were Tino, I'd be wondering what I need to do more to break into the first team.

I go with this post.
Only a week ago Dan Burn was man of the match.
If we all trust in Eddie Howe then we have to trust that h will choose what's best.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing for us fans.

Also a good post.

Sounds good, apart from the fact Mbappe was playing down the left, and Burn had f**k all to do with marking him.

I’ve said before, horse for courses… and a quick/tricky right winger is not the course for Burn.

I’m not saying he’s a bad player around, but I am saying he was not a good match for Ogbene and he is unlikely to enjoy playing against Elanga… because he certainly didn’t when Forest humped us 3-0 and Elanga was involved in all of their goals.

st a quick winger then he needs help from somebody in front of him.
