Seems he’s decided that mollycoddling him won’t do much good. Hopefully it does the job.

Wilder says at the end of the interview Fleck, Lundstram and Freeman Luke could be out for two weeks!
It was clear his work rate was lacking again.
Of course, people see he scored and presume that means he played well.....
When McBurnie, Osborn and Stevens deserve far more credit for that goal.
McBurnie's workrate was still higher than Mousset's in the 90th, despite playing the whole game.
Nathan Blake Mk 2. Could be absolute class one game and a lazy lard arse the next.Moose, two observations:
1. He's a right mard arse.
2. He's looking a bit chunky.
But there's a player in there!
Anyone else get the feeling he’s really been struggling with life outside of football. His initial celebration was very muted and then just about every player came up and gave him a heartfelt embrace. Also a lot of looking to the heavens afterwards.
Hope the lad’s ok and know he’s suffered some loss during the past few months.
Maybe I’m projecting and he just had a moody game-face on.
Great 30mins though - well done Moose
He's defo lost a yard of pace and always seems to look knackered, his fitness has defo taken a big hit over lockdown?Moose, two observations:

Think you have hit the nail on the head thereAs much as he's a bit of a chavvy oddball, you get the impression McBurnie is a bit of a gem to have around the place isn't he? Reminds me of one of those lads you meet, where you think "you're a bit of a dick" but their buzz is infectious.

I noticed at one point, not long after he came on, he chased down a ball against Sanchez on the far touchline and the throw didn't go our way. He started waving his arms about, then got a bollocking from one of our lot to get on with it (presumably) and proceeded to flap his arms at them too. All the while, the play had moved on and the rest were closing down.
I assume his prime candidate for the comments about arm waving, from Wilder, the other week. He needs to not sweat the small stuff and bust a bollock as soon as things have moved on. It's a throw in, it's gone, crack on.
Contrast that to the end and where he sprinted half the field to win the ball from Sanchez? That's more like it. Fantastic!
Well looking at his instagram stories he's in france. hope they're old vids.
Agree....don’t mind McBurnie at all.
Most people are judging him on his quality.....which seems to be nearer Champiomship standard than PL standard
but he really is an allround striker capable of everything...he can drop deep, decent at passing, good hold up play playing as target man, decent in the air and a decent finisher. However his biggest asset is his winning attitude and workrate.
His style and on pitch demeanor has similarities to Steve Claridge.
McBurnie and Claridge look so ungainly and untidy. They both actually look uncomfortable on the ball (as though they aren’t pro footballers)
and both even look uncomfortable/ ungainly when running without the ball.
Another asset which Wilder gives so much importance is attitude, personality and leadership.
This is massively important in the dressing room because that positive energy becomes infectious.

Promising news from the presser today - back on the grass and could be as little as three weeks away.
More probably the start of Dec.
Fingers crossed he can rediscover his early form for us as it’s a threat we have lacked and he was our top scorer and assister in a bit part season for him.
