Genuinely thought in the first half of last season he was your average journeyman league one centre half and wondered why we had signed him but he came in and did a good job at the tail of last season and has been immense this.
Great in the air, strong, and comfortable on the ball... and I personally think a better long range passer than Wolfy.
His weakness is of course his pace but since that torrid time at Cambridge last season you can probably count on one hand the number of times he got turned by a forward. I've seen some suggest that he will be one who is replaced at champ level but I think this is harsh and he definitely deserves the opportunity to play at this level.
Would be disappointed if pace is seen as everything, let's not forget we had a defence of John Wark & Dave Linighan get us promoted. Dave couldn't trap a bag of cement and Warky was hardly a gazelle at that stage of his career. |  | | |  |

Personally, i think he's gone from strength to strength. Much better on the ball and totally imperious in the air. Reminds me a little of De Vos, who perhaps similar to Burgess, only had the opportunity to play at a higher level in the second half of his career. | | | |

Think he deserves a crack at it, by my calculations he came back v Exeter 26 league games ago and we only conceded 14.
He will obviously be far more challenged in the championship |  |

I thought Edmundson was a better partner for Woolfenden. That is only one reason why it is far better that McKenna makes the decisions. |  |

Very important this year, no doubt about it. Nothing wrong with a big solid defender.
But... can't see him improving any more though and it's a big step up. I'm worried that step is too great if we truly believe we can be top 10.
The danger is, we try and get a younger, more mobile type of player which can be coached up and eventually sold on, only to realise just how important Burgess has been. We shouldnt underestimate the cover he provides from teams trying to pump it into the box. |  | | |

Part of a defence that conceded what, two goals (?), in 14 games? I think he's earned a shot. |  | | |
