Is something amiss with Burke

[Deleted member 23679]

Might be going off on a tangent here, or overthinking stuff but I'm getting the impression from his media work and body language that Burke is a player who looks like at the minute has got the weight of all the world on his shoulders.

He had a couple of big money moves, moved abroad as a teenager in a massive move to RB Leipzig that didn't work, and the move back to England with WBA hasn't worked for him either, and neither has the loan moves.

I'm getting the impression that both from what I've seen so far and from tonights performance that he looks to be lacking confidence at the minute

Anyone else been thinking this?

 

[LondonBlade89]

Fuck me he only joined last week.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

He's only 23 too. CWAK to work their magic...

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Yeah, it's called ability.

Not even played a full game and people are trying to psyco analise the guy

Dr McNulty placed a lot of importance on minimal body language sightings. He was full of shit too.

Apparently he parked at the back pump even though the front pump was free at Tesco’s Garage on Abbeydale Road. He then nicked the last bottle of AdBlue so Quiffy’s Dad had to go to Morrison’s at Woodseats for some.

Morrison’s at Woodseats for some

Any true ITK'er would call it Meadowhead.

I'm not trying to psychoanalyse him, I just picked up on something and wondered if others had seen it as well. I might be right or i could be wrong, who knows

Second point is that I just get the impression that something isn't quite right, but I should have also added that if that is the case, then when CWAK work their magic on him and get him playing we will have a quality player on our hands for much less that we would have normally played

It's not though, is it? I can claim that my in-laws live in Sheffield but they're really in Thorpe Hesley.

Woodseats ends at Abbey Lane.

Morrisons is Meadowhead.

How about we agree that it's in the Woodseats/Meadowhead DMZ?

 

[Bladesthorpe]

No but did notice he didn't get a decent pass all game. When he runs his legs go one after the other FFS.

Nah Meadowhead ends at the road to the pitch and putt. Its in no mans land.

Burke is not a striker , he's a winger who's played RWB for the last year.
I don't know what CW plan is , but maybe all will be revealed.
Our current set of strikers will not score enough to keep us up.
The close season priority was to improve the strikers in our first 11.
It ain't happened.
Of the 2 old blokes , one's got injury prone & one's got even slower.
Moose is injured + will take even longer to get up to speed than most.
We have one striker who might be effective at this level but when he plays we try to boot it up to him as a target man which he isnt.
Our strike force carries very little goal threat.
All our PL rivals know it and are bound to play hardball if we try to get a striker off them.

No. I don't think so. I reckon it's all in your head this one

If my employer doubled my wage I'd expect to be under pressure too...

How did Burke play tonight from those that watched the game? I didn't listen to much commentary of the match either as was out but from what I did hear Keith Edwards suggested he looked lively.

Pace and work rate to make defenders shit themselves. Wriggled out of a couple of tricky situations. But no clear attacking opportunities to really judge him properly. ⚔

Really pleased with the work rate side, didn't expect that to be honest. That's promising. Cheers

From Oli Burke to subregions of the city in less than 24 posts.

Interestingly (or not) at the other end, Chesterfield Road doesn’t start until after the New India Garden, making the Red Lion and the White Lion both London Road pubs.

I only noticed this the other day. I always thought London Road ended at the bridge.

 

[Charlieblade]

Burke sounds like he could work best in a partnership, maybe with a skilled workhorse like McBurnie.
If Brewster does come that might stall Burke’s development?
