I’m starting to think that McBurnie may just in actual fact be

[Now and again]

I bet every person slagging off mcburnie is aged over 50 and moans when the goalkeeper plays out from the back

Bet they arn’t

 

[spongebobblade]

Fuck me. Another game, another scapegoat.
Guy a few rows behind me screamed abuse at him to “fuckin jump you lazy twat” when a cross sailed a good 6 feet over his head

I’m not trying to make him into a scapegoat, we won anyway pal.

But there were crosses that he could have done better on.

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Thought Davies was incredibly assured at the back.

Olsen was solid.

Osborne plenty of graft.

Gibbs White played some nice stuff.

Maybe Olsen and Davies. Not sure about Osborn as well as GW don't think they played great tbh we just went back to our old ways taking slow to attack

Argos car park

I’m starting to think that McBurnie may just in actual fact be Argos car park?!​

I don't get it.

Wank post

 

[Frank the tank]

Not saying he's wank but he's gonna struggle to score many goals stood behind his marker

 

[Aston max]

WANK.

I’ve backed him and defended him and really want him and Brewster to come good.

I even fancied him to grab one when he made his appearance, but he just looks so weak in the air.

I know he has a bit of a languid style. For the first time though today I did look at him and think “ maybe he is just wank” and it’s not going to happen for him.

Hope he can go on a bit of a scoring run for us. But maybe he is just wank.

Another three points today though.

UTB

Watching Tyler at hull last week we should have given them mcburnie and kept Tyler he's more of a Billy clone

There were also crosses he defended well when we needed him to. If he’s not a scapegoat then why mention when he was on the pitch for just 25 minutes? He was no better or worse than anyone else

Haha, I think I heard that.

Ive heard it plenty before and it’s not been justified. He’s had far too many soft performances for me though. It’s not like he’s only played a handful of games.

This is the season he needs to show us what he can do. The Prem was a big step up for him, he’s now playing in a league where he has done it before so he needs to deliver.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

I blew out my vocal chords screaming when he had that air shot from Baldock's pullback, useless tosser.

Says the guy who screamed out his vocal chords over an air shot LOL

 

[Guesty]

Any accusations of laziness are way off base for my money, and he showed some great play deeper on the pitch. The problem is he's a terrible penalty box striker, just woeful.

Because he’s a striker who we bought to score goals, not to make the odd defensive header.

I mean, I was clearly exaggerating...

[bakeblade]

Can I ask what billy sharp did in that 90 minute performance? Missed 2 sitters and was anonymous for the majority of the match

Genuinely baffling how you can come to the conclusion of slagging mcburnie off after that , he was about to head in the ball before the Derby player volleyballed it away

Got their keeper sent off

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

I mean, I was clearly exaggerating...

Phew…

 

[Guesty]

Ooh this is fun, I'm simultaneously arguing for and against McBurnie in this thread!

I feel like the BBC, being accused of bias by the Tories and Labour alike.

 

[spongebobblade]

So you slate him because he doesn’t score when he comes off the bench now? Did you slate him for missing a penalty on Tuesday as well?

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

I think he's properly, properly lost his way, after playing in a side that lost all confidence and created few chances last year. Now, like others, he's trying to learn his role in a new system.

But I must admit, he looks lost and really unclear on his role.

Who's doing striker coaching at the club?

None of them are a patch on Bill, being entirely honest. Not even close.

No I didn’t slate him for missing a penalty, although it would have been nice if one of our strikers had fucking scored one.

Did you applaud him blindly for missing a penalty?

Ive got this mental idea

Maybe give him a run of games

Same logic for Brewster

Whilst that's undoubtedly what would be needed, you can't justify dropping Bill at the moment.

 

[bigblade]

Like all blades, we sometimes hope wish beg and pray certain players make the grade but of course it doesn't always happen, but just sometimes the planets aline and we are funking happy.............

Or he could make an impact off the bench or show enough in training to earn a start.

 

[Nelson1889]

Problem with mcburnie is he tries to be too involved. He should be stood in the penalty box between the two posts whenever we've got possession of the ball.

Not pratting about playing 3 yard passes at the corner of the box. If he's going to wear the number 9 then play like a number 9.

Do you mean like he did today forcing the derby player to volleyball the ball away before he headed it in

Well I stand corrected, obviously first name on the team sheet from that incredible contribution.
