[Albion] Dan Burn - Time Up

[Muzzy]

I’m not one to pick on an individual but DB was out of his depth in this game.
We all know we are lacking a left back and have been for quite some time. BG knew this of course!

What ****ing bonehead puts him up against Traore?
Not a Prem player but keep him for next season.

The same chap that left him against Saka.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

As many others have said, we know DB is struggling at this level this season, if we’re playing 3 centre backs it must be White-Dunk-Webster. If it’s 2 centre backs it’s Dunk and Webster plus whichever new left back we (hopefully) buy.

Is Glen Thomas watching? The status of his peerless performance at Griffin Park could be under threat.

I was reminded more of the game at home when a player ran round him to intercept a perfectly safe pass from Paul Sturgess.

It's not a Dan day, to be sure.

 

[S.T.U cgull]

We have two better centre halves out on loan in the championship and a supposed £40m defender being shunted into midfield for him.

Thought at the time a 3? year contract award last January was nuts - needs to be moved on.

He was awful tonight. I honestly don't see how anyone can criticise of downplay Duffy and do so with a straight face when he was dispensed with in favour of this guy. I can't think of anything he actually does well other than "is tall and has a left foot".

TBH though he was Wolves' best defender tonight.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

He's not a left back you cretins, sack the manager............

Calm down! You'll bust a blood vessel

 

[amexer]

Poor decision making. Against Arsenal should have taken Sako out. Tonight only one outcome once he decided to tackle. Did feel a little sorry for him tonight so out of his depth. Dont think have seen a player taken off to avoid further punishment

 

[BrianWade4]

We all know he is out of his depth, even he probably does, but he doesn't deserve personal abuse- it's the manager's fault for picking him.

This

Nice lad. But nowhere near good enough.

Drop him from the squad. Sell him if we can. And let him get on with his career in the lower leagues

 

[shingle]

The weak link, for someone so tall he's absolutely useless in the air.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

I hate to say this as he comes across so well and had a really good season last season but that really was a truly abysmal performance. The penalty was totally amateurish and unforgivable.

The worst individual performance I’ve seen from an Albion player, since his performance against Leicester. Which was the worst individual performance I’d seen from an Albion player for years. And in between that he was responsible for the Arsenal goal.

Hopefully won’t be getting near the first team for a while. We could really do without his ineptitude at the moment.

Shocking player, get rid now

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

West Brom's number 2 just did a total Glenn Thomas.....things could be worse than Burn....that said I don't expect to see him start again anytime soon.

 

[amexer]

the way Potter selects a side could well play next game. After Leicester and Arsenal unbelievable selected against Traore It just seemed so obvious to not select him today Interesting to talk to coaching staff to ask if they tried to talk him out of it. So many quick players in PL and unless against likes of Burnley shouldnt get near side again. I do think some players and Potter are very lucky not 30k crowd there

 

[albionalex]

Despite his calamitous performance tonight, he's not as bad as people are making out. That being said, he should be nothing more than a squad player and certainly should not be playing left back.

According to Sky Sports Traore is the new Jairzinho. Still an unfair match-up and Burn, who seems a very nice guy, needs to be played in positions that match his strengths.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

double post. twit

 

[Lethargic]

I actually feel sorry for the guy, everytime he is picked he gives 100% (or close) and he trys to drive the team forward. I suspect he even knows deep down he is not Premier quality but Potter continues to pick him so has to take a large part of the blame.
Credit for tonight after the calamity first half he keep on going which does show character.

He got away with it for 10-12 games last year, but as soon as he was rumbled, other teams quickly played on him. However, given he is a CB he did as well as could be expected.

This year, he looks dreadful and even worse as he's out of position. There is only one person to blame for consistently playing him, (and it is not about Potter in or out). This is a poor decision by GP as far as I'm concerned.

Our most promising left back is on loan at USG.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

The thing that made me shout at him most today was when we had a flighted ball go into their box which was destined for one of our players making a late run, only for Burn to head it clear on behalf of the Wolves defence[emoji2357]
