Burgess was very good 17:54 - Sep 3 with 1236 viewsDarth_Koont

I like Edmundson but Burgess simply looks more comfortable on the left.

Listening to the Stanley commentator who’s seen a lot more of him than most of us I’m sure, he called him a “Rolls-Royce of a defender”. He certainly looked it today.

Pronouns: He/Him

Natural left sided playing on the left side of defence. Makes the world of difference for passing down the line.

I think it's about horses for courses tbh.

Against a team like Accrington, who just relentlessly play high long balls, you want someone like Burgess in there. But Edmundson is by far the better ball player, so he'll be the choice against teams with less hustle and bustle.

Nice choices to have though.

I would add, that Burgess looks a far more accomplished player now. Mckenna and his team have a real knack of getting the best out of players.

He's looked better than Edmundson in the games I've seen this season. Not looking to knock Edmundson.

Burgess im glad to say has recently put in some great performances

Started a thread on this towards the end of last season but got slated on it by quite a few saying he was no way near the level of Edmundson.

But he wasn't last season, that's why people said it last season. Some didn't rate Evans last year, but he's been immense this year.

Outside of falling asleep at Oxford he actually was, hence the progression this season isn’t a surprise to me.

Generally speaking I think Edmundson’s a better football but we do look more balanced with a more natural left sided player there. Feel a bit sorry for Edmundson, I think he was put on the left as he was the most capable and trustworthy to play there, but given the choice I imagine he would rather be in the middle.

Burgess did very well today I must say. Very strong in the air which was important today. Speaking of winning some good headers, shout out to Harness in that respect who isn’t the tallest but really contributed some neat defensive headers today.

Horses for courses and good options as their form peaks and troughs. The Fridge hasn’t quite got up to speed yet after his injury, but he will. It’s great to have the option of 4 very good CBs to cycle across that back 3.

Poll: Do you think Pert is key to all of this?

Five. Although Donacien started as a right back he's a key component in the back three now.
