Oli Burke

Class.

Gonna be great this season. Our best signing this summer so far, comfortably.

 

[knowsnowt]

His little legs go faster than the roadrunners.

 

[Bladesman]

One day he will catch a defender out dithering on the ball. Probably should have pressed Cooper more today as he is usually the bomb scare for Leeds.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Works hard and has pace.

Clearly him and Mcgoldrick work well. Doubt he would with Mcburnie or sharp though.

I thought when he went off the pitch we looked less likely to score. Commentators had a different opinion though..

 

[AdamSufc1997]

We haven't scored yet so can't really call him class yet

 

[ormester]

Not a striker

 

[Varkanoid]

He has great vision with some of the balls he puts through, pity we cant get on the end of it and slot it home. Quite like him. Could be one of those to watch when he finds his shooting boots.

Also a bit off topic but did Lundstram look pissed off when he was subbed. He said something to one of the staff as he walked to the stand they just shrugged their shoulders.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Needs to learn how to be a striker, I think our freedom and allowance of players switching positions will be good for him though.

 

[robbiez666]

I doubt we'll score many with Burke and McGoldrick starting. Neither are out and out strikers. I can see it as a good option against the top teams where we're only likely to counter but it seems odd against team we fancy our chances against.

Did they have one shot each today?

 

[FTPE]

Absolutely rapid.
Strong, presses, direct, shown some great link up play.

His attitude seems first class too.
Yep, I'm a fan.

 

[Rochdaleblade]

I think he would be able to actually get onto some of McBurnie's headers. I've lost count of the number of times Oli wins the ball in the air and Sharp is stationary.

 

[Rudders]

Hasn't had a shot yet in 2 games. Will fit right in

 

[Toronto Blade]

Was it along the lines of,
Crap, now we need a striker and a CB .
I asked for more money but I missed a pen and a sitter in the last two games. No money left for me then!

 

[stringjunior]

I was underwhelmed to be honest. But i was cooking and watching the game so may have missed some nuance

 

[Blade56]

Thought Burke had a better game. Mom for me was Rammers

 

[Working Class Hero]

People get slated for writing a player off after 2 games, but apparently you can call a striker class after less than two games without having a shot.

I haven't formed an opinion either way yet but this thread seems a bit mad.

Didn't look that bad, touched the ball and chased it in their box, so good. Can't still see why C. Robinson couldn't have done the same, with the bonus that he might even have scored.

 

[Brussblade]

I think he is excellent (so far) and looks capable of intricate play in the box to pick out a man; something we lack

Great post

 

[knowsnowt]

I'd love to see him slipping balls in for moose.

Pervert...oh, I see what you mean now

 

[Broomhall Blade]

Early days for me.
He has pace and runs around alot.
But he's not looked like scoring in 2 games which is a Strikers main job.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Thought Burke was decent.....not great but not bad either.
He offers something we don’t have up front... pace and running with the ball...so he’s a good addition to the squad.

 

[Foody]

His little legs go faster than the roadrunners.

Sadly his little legs also go faster than his little brain.

 

[BLADE OF GRASS]

Is moose back training ? Noticed him stood around in the latest shirecliffe video

 

[JackSUFC]

Quite nice to have someone up front who can run.

Don't think so.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

He's not a striker. Surprised how clever his passing is though, we were led to believe he was headless chicken. If Wilder considers changing to a front 3 he is perfect for that, playing as a 9 or a 10 isn't his strength

Genuinely can't see how anyone can criticise him on today's performance.
