Gone Elsewhere Mcburnie

[UddersBlade]

No chance - Danny Hall will no less than ever now Wilder has departed.

 

[Nick Jansky]

Hull would be ideal for Wilder, he could get Mcburnie in there

With that nutter of an owner he’ll probably get a chance to apply for it every 6 months. It will be his turn eventually.

Poker man interested

Glad he's on the ex-poker player's list.

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Another repetitive regurgitation of rumour predicated on his former employee’status’

“McBurnie is thought to have been keen to return to United under Wilder’s guidance but it is unclear how much the manager’s departure has moved the needle, with the 29-year-old recently insisting that United’s 2024/25 campaign - which saw them overcome a summer of turmoil to win 92 points and reach the play-off final - showed how good a manager Wilder is”

Speaking of “ex employee status”maybe time Hall started scouring the 'situations vacant’ column?
Continuing puff piece propaganda such as this will hardly endear himself to the new hierarchy - perhaps CW will (formally) employ him as his PR?
Otherwise Biggsworld beckons although I guess there’s always another book in the offing?
Summat along the lines of :-

Hope not we’re suppost to be starting a fresh

Call of the Wilder

Catch 92

 

[Rodley]

Glad he's on the ex-poker player's list.

Upgrade on Moore. Perhaps we’ll get a physical presence up there is we’re going more direct / break lines faster and McB is decent on the deck.

Although it's easy to label them as "big men up top" I think Mcburnie is more fluid than that compared to Moore. The start of the last season with Moore up top alone would have worked better with Mcburnie and I think that was the plan as he was training with us until the takeover didn't happen so he had to move on

Call of the Wilder

Catch 92

Aye
Albeit a tad too sophisticated:-

Where the Wilder things are.

Surely that’s only if AI represents, ‘Absolutely Inconceivable’

 

[Nick Jansky]

If we’re looking at maintaining an aggressive high press neither of them are capable, they both lumber slowly around.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Mcburnie has a lot of positives to his game. He’s not however imo quick enough for a high tempo pressing game for me.

Feels like a halfway house between wilder and Selles if he comes back. We may as well give the manager the actual tools he wants to work with.

 

[Blades1971]

If McBurnie is signed, it proves COH are not changing the culture. Too slow, too cumbersome. No thanks

 

[DronnieBlade]

RS : Oli, I want you to know that I require all offensive players to produce a high press.

OMc : I’ll get mi coat.

UTB

 

[robbiez666]

I feel attributes any striker would need under the new approach aren't held by McBurnie, Moore or Campbell.

 

[MayorOJC]

McBurnie isn't a good fit for a high-press system at all. Not enough pace or stamina and conceded too many fouls.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

God knows where Moores passes will go in this system if people are moving too quickly around him.

Yeah Moore is done here

I think we pressed at our best under Hecky.
McAtee, Berge, Ndiaye, McBurnie.

 

[HarryHaslam]

Can’t see him fitting into the quick high press, McB would nearly always jog to a player as he closed him down but slow down as he approached and not really put him under any great pressure but more hoping his presence would make the defender clear it or give it away, very rarely worked.

Just listening to Harlee Dean on under the cosh he said Selles tells his players no jockeying when they get to the player it’s get there fast and run straight through them. So must like really fit athletic and fast forwards/midfielders that can put in the work in the press.

Probably looked like he was jogging but really he was at full speed.

McAtee, Berge, Ndiaye, McBurnie.

If memory serves me correctly, there were those 6-10 games after he sorted himself out and bulked up where he pressed ok, but it always seemed a little half-hearted compared to those others.

Selles' system needs people to be able to hold up the high/wide ball. Not really his forte but he's decent if it's to his feet.

 

[Pintor75]

It's a poor do if we can't find someone other than Mcburnie, seems a nice guy but very limited as a footballer imo, we need better than this if we are to progress long term

 

[Bladesman]

 

[Frank the tank]

Yeah Moore is done here

Yeah ,no he isn't

 

[1889]

If we were to re sign Ollie McBurnie, any optimism I might have for the future success of the new regime, would totally evaporate in the blink of an eye.

Absolute Insanity.

 

[MayorOJC]

Yeah ,no he isn't

I don't see a way he fits into a high press system but okay

 

[Frank the tank]

I don't see a way he fits into a high press system but okay

He's the best presser of all our forwards at the moment
Wins the ball high up the pitch more than anyone but okay

He's good at winning aerial duels if that's what you mean? But for in-play pressing you need speed, agility, stamina, good passing and limited fouls. That's not how Moore plays.
