I would think so, at least reminding D&D that someone can fill the void.

Played well in both games but you have to put it in perspective , he was playing against championship attackers & would surely be tested a lot more in the prem if he ever gets a game in that. Extremely good back up though & I would put him as third choice ahead of Balogun at the moment.

And reminding Balagan he needs to wake up
Ahead of Balogun for me, good buy (again).

Good signing and when the inevitable premium keeps increasing on HGP we have one who we might be willing to sell.

Balogun last night reminded me of why my German friend on signing him said “why have you signed him, he’s rubbish”.

I would think at least 1 of D&D will have another suspension before the season is out. I’ll feel a lot better with Burn coming in.
I don't know if it's true or not, but here's your fact of the day on Dan Burn and why he only has 9 fingers.
"He was wearing a ring on it when it caught on a spike while he was climbing a fence and the finger ripped off."

Apart from the goal, did he have that bad a game?

There was another headed chance Rogers had to equalise at 2-2 where he completely lost his man through no other reason than concentration, should never have been a chance and it was a free header. There were numerous other lapses at the heart of the defence where he just seems to switch off. Yes, the goal was dreadful, but that was just one he didn't get away with, there were plenty of others.
At the moment, from what I have seen, he is at least 1 mistake a game. Burn on the other hand didn't put a foot wrong.
Yes, I was rather surprised....he looked quite ill at ease last night, sad even. Strange.

Rather than a lack of ability, which I think he clearly has, I think he suffers from really poor concentration, not just the goal. I know he scored against Palace, but the penalty he gave away, the pass he gifted Willian, last night, and other mistakes that didn't result in goals, he just looks like someone that has these lapses.
Balogun will always be a hero in my eyes.....just for that goal against Palace.
Hopefully the club will be able to do what it seems to do so well - train the weaknesses out of his game as it has done with Big Jurg, Dunky, dare I say Knocky (too soon?) and others.....

Yes, well put, it's not that I don't rate him rather that he is prone to the odd clanger

For a defender 'apart from the goal' is not a clarification worth making
It feels like he's made a howler that's led to a goal in every game he's played. The penalty against Palace. The misplaced pass straight to a Chelsea player. The hash of a clearance against Arsenal. To be particularly stern you can add giving Lukaku a free header for United and playing Bissouma into trouble at Anfield. And now last night.
