Does he get his place back? That’s debatable now for me. |  | | |  |

You see Oxford’s equaliser? Where Burgess was fast asleep?
Yes, Edmundson gets straight back in for me, Burgess has done well but nowhere near the level of Edmundson. |  | | |

Yes, I think we all saw that and that’s literally the only criticism (albeit it big one) you can have if him over recent games. Burgess looks better on the ball from what I’ve seen but I wasn’t watching that much of it under Cook tbf. | | | |

Burgess left foot offers something different. He sprayed a couple of cross field passes yesterday to Burns that have the potential to create something really quickly.
I don't think there will be any rush to get Edmundson back in i.e they won't take any chances on rushing his rehad. |  |

Burgess is a half-decent League One centre-back. Edmundson is a top League One centre-back with the potential to play Premier League football IMO. | | | |

Just commenting on what’s I’ve seen under KM, outside the goal last week he’s been excellent and has a decent left foot, some good distribution. | | | |

Burgess is better on the ball than he was earlier in the season, but he's nowhere near as comfortable as Edmundson. It was noticeable in the second half that Plymouth were almost forcing us to get him in possession and go long as he was the least comfortable in possession of our back 3.
Don't get me wrong, he has done a cracking job defensively and we've not missed Edmundson as much as I feared, but you'd not pick him ahead of Edmundson when fit. |  |

I saw Edmundson have a few dodgy moments on the ball in one game in particular and maybe that’s clouded my view. I’ll be honest I wasn’t watching that much until Cook went, so I’m sure you lot have seen a greater body of work. | | | |

I don’t think it’s that ridiculous. They’re both good players at this level. Fridge slightly better but it’s marginal. Burgess hasn’t looked out of place at all. |  |

I think Burgess has done very well coming in from the cold, as it were.
Edmundson had some dodgy moments at the start of the season, but so did almost all of our team.
The biggest positives for me since the arrival of Kieran and co. are as follows:
1) Way fewer costly individual mistakes
2) Almost every player looks confident with the ball now
3) The whole teams work ethic is fantastic
4) The defensive record is incredible, especially compared to the previous few months (or years)
5) There appears to be a far better team spirit, throughout the whole squad, with players generally performing well when coming into the team or off the bench
6) Some of our passing and through balls have been of a far higher standard than we have become accustomed too.
7) Players who were on the way out of the club have turned things on their head and are some of the first names on the team sheet.
I really hope Kieran and co. are in it for the long run with us, as together I believe we can really go places again. |  | | |

I think Edmundson is excellent at this level, and probably good enough for the Championship, but I don't think he is a good enough footballer for the Premier League. Interestingly, with Baggott now on the bench, I wouldn't be surprised if he might feature a lot next season because my understanding is that he is the type of footballing defender that McKenna may favour.

I think so, it shouldn’t be under appreciated how good Burgess has been since he came in, didn't play a single minute under KM - as it tends to be when you have solid back line, you aren’t rotating.
But for him to be called upon and to slot in seamlessly is very impressive.
Invaluable squad member. |  | | |

Yeah, Edmundson has had some dodgy moments, but he's def my pick of the two overall.
Can see why you asked the original question, even if I disagree with you! | |

I love the way that every player seems to be brimming with confidence and saying that they are learning how to improve all the time. That says to me that they are gonna want to stay, whether we go up or not, as they all sense that something big is happening. On the pitch, tat confidence translates into audacious skills - the incredible takes we are seeing from Celina, Burns and Norwood for example, players are sending long balls that are inch perfect and the forward players are just bringing it down and in a single movement flicking it into space to surge forward. Those are Premier League skills that we are now seeing on a weekly basis in League 1. Oh how we have changed since Mick! |  |

Suspect there aren't many likely to join you with that appraisal. Burgess looking more like the player we hoped he'd be, but he's been very poor and stepped up. Edmundson has been so good that his mistakes are in sharper contrast.
I suspect of the two only Edmundson has the potential to play a lot higher than right now for several years. |  |

The player gambled early and got lucky that the ball landed flush on his forehead. Can't blame Burgess too much for that. |  |

I agree with all of your points, but point 2) particularly is what has impressed me. I think some credit must go to Cook and Ashton for the types of player they brought in, but the way McKenna and his coaches have somehow, as you say, got almost every player confident on the ball now is quite incredible in my opinion. I guess it's specific coaching, but I think a lot of it also comes from the group mentality, which has obviously become very calm and strong in a ridiculously short period of time. |  |

No idea what point you’re trying to make on vaccines but you do like to invent stuff. Feel free to check the December ONS data on the latter, I was just talking about football subjectively but come in the thread and do you. [Post edited 27 Mar 2022 23:14]

I'm saying that, like your stance on infection control measures and vaccines, you're confused, and lacking in evidence in your original point.
But hey, you do you, Trumpo. | |
