He had a solid performance. Attacking threat, too. Well done, Cam. Make Greaves earn that place back. Lovely to see! |  | | |

He's been brilliant of late. |  |

He's been reasonably solid and has adapted well so far, but he turns over possession far too often IMO. Apart from one glorious exception against Utd, his passing has been poor. And this is where Greaves has the edge. |  | | |

Greaves probably better on the ball, a bit more mobile and aerially more dominant?
Burgess is more used to our system currently though, I think O'Shea has settled in pretty well, looks far more assured than earlier games |  |

In respect to O'Shea...... he's looking better and better.
Only a matter of time, I think, before Greaves come back. That being said, really pleased for Burgess. Written off under Cook and looked a terrible signing at the time. Was it Barrow his lowest point? Shown a lot of character to keep on coming back when written off. |  | | |

O’Shea was a definite candidate for man of the match yesterday.
Difficult decision now for McKenna with Tuanzebe out. Do you move O’Shea there and make two changes to the back 4 or just replace like for like at right back? If Johnson is fit, I can see him slotting in. If not he has a decision to make.
Greaves doesn’t look totally comfortable on his right foot so I can’t see him playing alongside Burgess, and O’Shea switching to right back. So that leaves Clarke and Woolfenden as the other options.
I thought moving Hutchinson yesterday solved the right wing problem but then created another issue in central midfield where Chaplin was ok but not as effective as Omari would have been. | | | |

O'Shea has improved playing alongside Burgess, but that might be purely because he's had more playing time, and if Greaves had been there, same result.
Greaves was great, but also with the occasional schoolboy error, Aston Villa, and I think Greaves will be back for CP. Probably wrong, but because of Greaves injury KM probably decided he wasn't going to risk Greaves over 2 games within 4 days and the CP game slightly more important out of these 2 games. |  | | |

Never thought he needed replacing in the first place. Quality CH and one who deserves the chance to prove he belongs. |  | | |

I dont know why some fans doubted Burgess. He was our rock last season, and we were a lesser team when he went away with Australia mid season.
Great to see him back. [Post edited 1 Dec 2024 9:28]

i thought clarke looked well off the pace during his brief appearance yesterday. o'shea at right back and woolfy in the middle is the better bet if we have to make a change. |  |

I actually thought Burgess didn't have a great game yesterday, certainly by his recent high standards.
There was one moment in the first half where he was trying to turn back and pass it and it played it directly to their forwards - they should have done better with it. I think Greaves would have been given a hard time on here if he did the same thing. His passing down the left channel was very off for him as well, often the ball went directly out of play.
He's been brilliant and he's definitely capable of playing at this level and will play many times for us this season but I would have Greaves back in when he's fully fit and available. We do need to think about the longer term and Greaves has more potential upside over the longer term. I think it's important to consider that context.
Great to have squad depth in that LCB position though and Burgess certainly delivers that and means we can focus on other positions if we decide to strengthen.

Think it made sense to keep him in yesterday but Greaves offers so much more on the ball and is a solid defender himself anyway. I’d be very surprised if, in a home match where we’ll want to be on the front foot trying to win, we don’t see that swap on Tuesday.
Burgess has got away with a few sloppy bits of play as well in recent games - if Muric hadn’t saved from Solanke at the death at Spurs then all the talk would have been about Burgess’ on the ball ability, and he got away with giving up possession cheaply yesterday in the first half. McKenna was also visibly frustrated when he gave it away against Leicester on several occasions when we were well on top and looking for a goal.
Think he’s definitely shown he’s a capable stand in but Greaves will soon get his place back as first choice LCB. |  |

I think Greaves might’ve been given a game against Palace, but potentially now both of them with Axel’s injury. |  | | |

Defensively I think he's been really good but I thought it was noticeable against Forest that they shaped their press in a way that encouraged our back line to pass to him before they then 'jumped' on it. Think if Greaves is back in that probably doesn't happen as he's more confident in that aspect (although Burgess continues to improve in this area also). | |

I think though, that if we lose O'Shea's pace in the middle we have to have Greaves in there for extra pace, which results in a cascade of three changes to the back four! (and is unduly harsh on Burgess)
Johnson (if fit) or Clarke for me. Clarke has struggled a bit, but lets give him a chance to settle into the PL if he's needed. It may be that he plays a more withdrawn role if Hutchinson stays on the right anyway, because Hutchinson can operate more effectively on his own without overlapping support than Burns can.

There is room for both Burgess and Greaves along with O'Shea. With Davis more often than not further up the pitch, we need to play 5 at the back. Those 3 at centre of defence is quality. |  |
