Sell Burgess - Woeful 19:30 - Apr 3 with 3848 viewsswansjack84

Stating the obvious.

Burgess has been massive let down this season. His passing is woeful. Not sure if it would be even possible, but I would be looking to sell Burgess.

From Matos post match today sounds like he still likes him as a player.

Also look to replace Cabango. Get a quality RB and we will solve alot of our problems. And Sell Ronald and Cullen 😂

Sorry, it was Burgess I was referring to not Cabango


My response would basically been the same.

You don't play at the level he has, with the respect from his former fans that he does, unless you can walk the walk. He and Cabango don't suit each other. That much seems obvious.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

That’s fine but his misplaced passing, really amateur at times has nothing to do with his CH partner. Once, maybe twice happens to everyone but the number of incidents we see with Burgess is well beyond what we should.

Uncertainty causes players to make decisions that they might not always. If Burgess had a partner who he knew was comfortable on the ball, would he play so many risky passes himself? Or vice versa?

That's not taking into account the fact that our regular #6 isn't exactly great on the ball himself. I wonder if it's worth doing a deep dive on the number of risky passes Burgess plays when Stamenic is playing DM versus anyone else.

It’s as I say and it’s rather weird ; they seem to alternate with foul ups
We need a rock of a CH
I thought Burgrss would be that

He’s been disappointing on the whole unfortunately. And as you say, same for Cabango.

Whether we’ll see a new partnership next season remains to be seen but it does seem from what I read in here that Lissah is in the frame.

It would be interesting to see the statistics in relation to his completed passes which IMO are short to Cabango, whilst Cabango has a higher percentage of completed passes forward. The statistics department could well prove me wrong but its the way I normally see it.

We just need some solid basic defending
Nothing clever or intricate
If it needs to be booted into Row Z then do it
We have done skilful players but if I suggested we lack physicality the usual sone would pop up about my being obsessed with size
And that’s fair
We should be
We are too weak and this is a physical league

For a big man Burgess is very lacking
Cabango is also the worst header of a ball I’ve seen since Ash ( bless him)
Ash was a rock though

Burgess is being asked to play in a way that doesn’t suit him , let him deal with the high balls and he’s one of the best,ask him to be Beckenbauer and he struggles,just let him do the simple stuff and we’ll be fine
All the faffing about at the back puts pressure on the whole defence,Cabango makes horrible mistakes as well but doesn’t get the same stick
We should just get the ball forward quicker ,sideways and back just invites a press we can’t cope with and we even do it when we are losing…incredulous and very boring and ambitionless
It really is a simple game but we over complicate things for no good reason ,
Our midfield needs to move around more making themselves available for passes instead of being static and easy to mark ,they also need to be better defensively getting more tackles in and winning more ball ,we just give players too much time and space to walk through us
When we do play forward with pace we look a good side,so let’s see more of it

Too right....
I was reading an article in the Daily Mail today about Lincoln City . It was very enlightening They are a very progressive forward thinking club . They analyse data and various coaches deal with certain parts of the field to analyse opposition weaknesses . This paid off handsomely in one game when the oppo goalie was known to stand forward in his area when not in possession and when Lincoln had a free kick quite some distance out they caught the keeper flat footed by Shooting directly at goal when everyone expected a pass to restart. The thing is they knew they would get an opportunity at some time during the game to do this and took full advantage.They use a Field Tilt analysis programme whatever that is ( Iam no coaching expert) which is obviously very effective . Their manager basically saying that football is an invasion game and the more time with or without the ball you spend in the opposition final third the more likely you are to win the game so they get the ball forward into the final third quickly .
Lincoln have conceded the fewest goals and scored the most goals in league 1. They have also scored the most from corners.
Their manager Michael Skubala before the Cardiff match told his team that the game was a free hit . They just had to beat the teams below them to ensure promotion . Clever because it took all the pressure off them and they won 2 nil.
They also use an anti gravity treadmill which I had never heard of , in their gym - state of the art kit to reduce likelihoid of strains and joint trauma and also used for rehab after injury.
There is a very strong team bond which has been nurtured through things like group paddle boarding etc.
Iam not suggesting we dont do any of the above but clearly the fact that they are conceding on average over the last 10 games just over a goal every 3 games is proof there is method in the madness.
They are planning a ground extension and have an interested American businessman looking to get on board .
Are they the New Wrexham ?? Who knows but they are doing something right they have walked league 1 on the 17th largest budget.
They will be playing us next season and are not to be underestimated.

Football is a simple game, complicated by people thinking they're clever. Score more than the opposition, simples

Maybe be Burgess works better when he has better players around him and he trusts them, same could maybe be said about Cabango when you consider on how well he played alongside Darling, the CH position is often prone to eras you see it from the top teams as well. Trusted CM in midfield helps as well, Stamenic struggles in that department on times, he's young though so I wouldn't right him off.

Thought he put some credit in the bank with last nights performance . He made some effective blocks at times and noticably put his boot through the ball instead of turning back and passing sideways. We looked more solid for it Cabango also played safety first last night. I would still like to see Burgess get off the ground more though Hes 6 foot 4 but could reach far higher by jumping up . More dynamism would get further distance on his clearances.A good performance from him last night though overrall.

Lincoln are up ... if anyone is interested . They beat Reading 2-1 away to secure promotion to the championship , so another interesting away trip in store.
the great TE Lawrence once raced a biplane on the A15 between Sleaford and Lincoln on his motorbike back in the day . I haven't ridden that particular stretch myself but I wouldn't mind. The cathedral in the city is worth a visit it's at the top of a steep hill.

We played Lincoln many times in leagues gone by. I looked at the National League on the weekend and there's about 10 there who we used to play most seasons. A stark warning of be careful what you wish for and enjoy what you have.
