Thought he was impressive today. Positive and direct in his play with a good final ball which can sometimes be questioned. Looked sharp. |  | | |  |

This is fair. He did plenty of good things in the game. He contributed and i like him as a player. He’s a good character, team player and one of those who is better than he looks on tv, especially if you see him up close.
It is hard to tell because PL players are in general quicker and stronger, but I do wonder if he’s lost half a yard of pace. It may be that not playing week in week out he’s short of match fitness.
Regardless of that perception, he is a valuable part of the squad and like the rest of them, did fine yesterday. [Post edited 25 Nov 2024 8:34]

When people talk in astonishment about us playing Fleetwood two and a half seasons ago and now matching Manchester United for quality I think it is worth remembering that Wes Burns was playing FOR Fleetwood three and a bit seasons ago, and for eighty eight minutes of play matched a lot of the Manchester United team for quality (he certainly had a better game than Jonny Evans.)
He turned thirty on Saturday so, with his injury record in mind, I think we should give him some credit for still being able to develop as a footballer. Even though his talents were recognised by Wales in squad call ups nine years ago it wasn't until he found the right team and the right manager that he finally made his international debut a couple of years ago. In back page of The Sun terms he could be viewed as past it but within the McKenna project I am hopeful that the best is yet to come for Wes. [Post edited 25 Nov 2024 9:07]

We don't want him using his pace flat out when there's a risk of the hamstring injury coming back, so play it safe, whip a ball in and don't get injured, especially with no Johnson or Ogbene!
Don't think it's confidence, I think it's enforced. |  | | |

Seriously?!
I need to rewatch the game if that’s the case, but must wear my blue tinted glasses |  |

Football is all about different opinions I guess, but I thought he was probably the weakest player on the pitch for us. Seems to have lost that zip and confidence to take players on. Definitely not the Burns of the previous two seasons, but to give him the benefit of the doubt, he may have been told to play a slightly different type of game. He kept letting his man get passed him too easily, too many times in the first half. Much better attacking threat second half when he went off and Hutch took over on the right. To me, he looks like a player struggling a bit with the step up, which is understandable. Hope he improves though, as he could still be an asset to this team. |
Maybe he is the Burns of the last two seasons, but the quality of opposition isn't the same? | | | |
