If you’re thinking of slagging off Dan Burn, consider this - that bloke gives everything he has, game in game out.
That shouldn’t be enough to earn him a starting spot.
But it should be good enough to earn your respect.
(And by extension, not slag him off).
is it?
He is shit, but what other options are available at LB? Bernado is both shit and another expensive flop, March is a LW not a LB and Burn has height.
The Blame lies at the door of Ashworth. Winstanley, Bloom for failing to provide any adequate options in that position. Karbo? who knows but he doesnt have any height and he's not here anyway.
It would seem like a good idea to also recall Karbownik from Warsaw ( although he has a short term injury until the end of January ).

Dan Burn - Time Up
How about Graham Potter - Time Up......
That is a very sensible post and I am inclined to agree with you.
BUT Burn was next level shit today and that ridiculous lunge for the penalty was unforgivable. And coming so soon after his Leicester debacle and cock up against Arsenal, I don’t think the stick he is getting is surprising or unwarranted. We all appreciate he’s a good guy and tries hard but he is a professional playing at an eliite level and that was just abysmal today, it deserves to be called out.
Individual performances like that today by Burn and other players throughout the season are reflecting on the manager who is getting a massive amount of criticism and pressure himself at the moment, and ultimately could pay for it with his job, so it’s only fair the players take the stick too.
And I defended Burn’s selection before the match!
I still really like Dan Burn as a footballer.
Potter knew exactly what he was doing putting him up as our best defence against one of the biggest wide threats in the Premier League.
BDB did the job last time against Traore and he also memorably once did the same very difficult job with Zaha.
It just wasn’t his night this time.
He had a bad game. No doubt about that. And this is a football message board, and fans have the right to say it how it is. And passions run high. I get all that. It helps make NSC what it is .
He still doesn’t deserve dogs abuse though, and nor does Ryan, because they bust their balls for the shirt. They are impeccable professionals. Some of the comments have been bordering on personal. That’s out of order.
I’ve seen players jog through Albion games clearly not giving a shit. They’re the ones who should get thrown to the wolves, if anyone.

We've got a squad full of them at the moment. Not to mention a manager.Again agree wholeheartedly. Bad game, good professional, doesn’t hide, gives his all. NSC loves a whipping boy.
