Thoughts.....

Poor with the ball. Short or long passes. Defensive solid. Seems to take a lot of responsibility on the pitch with instructions. More than Cabango. Can't see us changing our defense anytime soon though.

At least one car crash moment per game.

 

[Smurph]

Hate to say it, I’m a little underwhelmed with him.

Think we need to replace either him or Ben.

The lack of composure and a centre half who can put their foot on the ball and play a little is going to hold us back.

For me, is Matos ruthless enough to replace either of them. My gut says no. Cullen is still playing.... Didn't we pay a high fee for Burgess? I can't see us replacing him or Ben. Set pieces (Defence) for me is our biggest concern and has been for a while. Cabango always looks lost and is out muscled. I'm not in the camp of we have a terrible defense but I'm also not of we are good.

Think Burgess came on a free.

Summer will tell is if Matos is happy with them as a paring or not.

Personally, I don't feel they'll get us promoted (Hope they prove me wrong).

 

[Ringwood]

Issue i have is he never takes ownership of the biggest opposition aerial threat from corners. It happend at Millwall and again yesterday with Stemenic marking and failing to deal with leading to goals from the most obvious threat.

 

[Swansea93]

I could see Burgess leaving In the summer, he came on a free but no doubt he’s on big wages considering he was labeled as a big coup for us and turning down Valencia also, I’m sure he was a Montague signing as well.

 

[Cooperman]

He hasn’t lived up to my expectations. However, we are still in the early days of the Matos reign, so there may be more to come. I would also go with the description of underwhelming.

 

[Martyn - Derwydd]

Rodon, Darling. We kind of got used to a LCB who was good with the ball at their feet. Cam is old school CB. I'm OK with him for now. Casey had that ball at feet quality but loan and gone. Cam's one of our top scorers this season too if you count the own goals

 

[NWJack]

Certainly at fault for one of the goals, and as Ringwood states, should be putting himself up against the biggest height threats. Cabango just as suspect though. I would have given Casey more time, maybe for Ben. Not sure it's the biggest problem area. Yesterday was poor, but not usual.

Both have they moments good and bad, but I think we could do better with an upgrade on one or both even, for me anyway.

 

[Neath_Jack]

Other than the right back issue, him and Ben are definitely the weak spot in the team. He’s decent enough at defending high balls into the box, but other than that I’m not sure.

Is Burgess the issue, is it Ben or is it both have too many weaknesses?

Ben alongside another is my preference.
