Cam Burgess

[Pegojack]

I think he's solid defensively and good in the air. I confess I get queesy when he's got the ball at his feet playing out from the back under pressure, though.

Not a terrible player or an awful signing, but not a player who suits or style (neither is Cabango and a few others) and will invariably be replaced over the next 12 months with Matos’ own players. Helping to build the foundations though, but we need at least 1 ball playing CB in the starting line up.

Cabango was marking him all game but somehow is Burgess' fault for the goal.
Odd.

I thought Burgess was at fault for the 2nd Derby goal, whilst Cabango was up against the player more in open play at that corner Burgess was the nearest Swan and he was not goal side and left him freeth, e Derby player didn't get free with any clever movement, he was just poorly marked.

He’s not terrible but not outstanding either. He always seems to have at least one blunder a game that puts us in the shit. He also lacks pace just like Cabango and they struggle against a fast physical forward. I certainly wouldn’t complain if we looked at getting a replacement for one or both of them.

Even if they both stay next season I would like to see us sign a young CB to develop and be our backup rather than bringing one in on loan.

Burgess is decent enough, but that's the problem we need more than decent enough.

We need more pace at CB and Burgress for a big lad isn't physical enough for me.

I was hoping he'd be more of a physical presence when we signed him. It's the one thing that I find surprising about him.

I'd love to see him be a bit more intimidating.
