Burrows

He's been very average most of the season

Average Harrison Burrows, great nick name....

Fully expect him to take the step up to another level next season, as I do with the likes of Peck, One, Seriki, and Arbslaster. I don’t think another season in the champ will do these lads any harm and with some added additions in wide areas and defence we can have another real go at the league.

 

[true99blade]

He’s been brilliant in his first season at championship level. Getting the same kind of lazy criticism the likes of Duffy and McGoldrick got when it was obvious they were vital for us. Best left back outside of the Premier League undoubtedly, even in a team that’s being blatantly held back by dinosauric setup and tactics.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

If he's shown himself to be 'undoubtedly' the best left back in the league, how is he being held back by the setup/tactics?

 

[Tarqs]

Burrows ha# no support down the left as the midfield player who should support and get beyond him is Hamer who is given a free rein to wander into central positions. When our right back receives the ball, either Raki Saki or BBD are ahead of him providing an outlet when Burrows receives the ball he has no one.

It is not rocket science purely another master stroke from Wilder..

Play BBD in his preferred position ahead of Burrows and both with improve.

Been saying it all season, he's hung out to dry on that left... never has any options.

Been coasting through the 2nd half of the season with only McCallum challenging him, whatever division we’re in that’s a position we need serious competition or personally for me a replacement

This.

 

[Wright1889]

I started this thread, and I spoke to soon he’s been garbage for months now. Doesn’t defend well, doesn’t take his man on. Always passes sideways or backwards.


He is not fit to lace Endas boots, how blessed we were when he was in his prime.

 

[RecordBreakers]

Been very average last couple of months undoubtedly a very good player looks like he needs a rest tbh.

 

[Nedski]

He struggles every time he's up against a half decent winger. He'll be fine for a promotion season but if we're in the premier league we'll need to replace him.

One thing that has been noticeable is his drop off in form since Souttar was injured. Similar to when JOC was injured and Egan, Enda, Fleck and Norwood all looked half the players they were, Gilchrist, Anel, Burrows and Souza havent been the same since Souttar was injured.

Basically we need to replace Robinson with a good defender and we'll look so much better.

Well Done Burrows for been in Championship Team of Season along with Hamer

[Nedski]

Worst left back since Nosworthy.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Burrows has really got to stop crying over Wilder.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

What on earth has happened to this lad?

 

[Baggers75]

Wtf is he doing with every set piece he takes? Just found a floaty, side foot curler straight in to the keepers arms every time’ and if the keeper doesn’t catch it the oppositions 6ft 9 centre half will out jump O’Hare every time ffs so frustrating

Don’t know why I put ‘found’ in there?

 

[CaptainMorgans]

This wasn't that long ago.

Seriously, something just seems off with him? He's got a way higher level that he's not tapping into.

It's sad to see him wasting his potential. I hope he turns it around.

We've been doing that for years. Crosses in open play, free kicks and corners always seem to be aimed for one meter in front of the keeper. It's almost like we only want to score a rebound if they don't catch it which they do 99% of the time.

 

[Lightsoot]

I’m not sure what the fuss is with Burrows. No goals, no assists, set plays meh, gets a nose bleed trying to go forward, not quick, but better defensively than i was led to believe.

If we’d hadn’t have spunked a pre-season chasing him due to his lofty reputation, I’m not sure we’d be as confident that he’ll come good.

Hopefully a slow burner who will gradually flourish.

He’s not flourishing. Such a disappointment.

 

[Champagneblade]

Given his defensive contributions have been so ropey of late but he’s got on the scoresheet and assisted, I wonder if we could just prime him to ‘replace’ Gus?

He’s got 6 goal contributions in the last 15 and that has been from left back. Gus has 11 in the same period but from far further forward and with fewer defensive responsibilities.

If we are continuing with 4-2-3-1 then why not have McCallum at left back and have Burrows focus on where he’s been doing far better?

We will lose Hamer for the inevitable lowering of the wage bill but perhaps having a more conventional left footed player would help balance out the team?

What is this madness??

Us playing a naturally left-footed attacker on the left?
