Burgess: I'll Put Things Right On the Pitch
Saturday, 8th Nov 2025 21:36

Former Blues defender Cameron Burgess has told Swansea City fans that he’ll “put things right on the pitch” following the Welsh side’s 4-1 defeat to the Blues at the Swansea.com Stadium in which he netted two own goals.

The unfortunate central defender diverted a Leif Davis shot and Jens Cajuste cross into his own net as the Blues recorded their second successive 4-1 away victory.

The Australian international made a rare post on social media following the game, vowing to get things right with the Swans having dropped to 18th.

“I don’t usually say much on social media and I will probably take this post down soon,” he wrote.

“But I just wanted to write a message to the Swansea City fans that want to hear it.”

“I know how much this club means to you all and how much pride you take in being part of it.

“As a player, I hear your criticism and you won’t hear any excuses from me. I am my own worst critic, believe me, and it’s my sole purpose to put things right on the pitch personally by showing what you all expect to see.”

Burgess, 30, joined the Swans after turning down a new deal at Portman Road in the summer.

ITFC_1994 added 22:22 - Nov 8 Nothing he could have done about either OG really.... I actually think Leif was trying to cross to clarke for the 2nd goal, who would have had a tap in.... obviously likewise with the 4th goal.

Jugsy added 01:37 - Nov 9 Will everyone stop going on about how good he is? If one of our defenders did this they would be lambasted. He’s not the silver bullet many think

Karlosfandangal added 02:29 - Nov 9 I agree with Judsy Town fans have to have someone to have a go at….and Greves is that man, However IMO he is a better defender than Burguess Don’t get me wrong Burguess has been great for Town over the years he was at Town and part of the legend group that got us in the Prem but not the answer for the future

WhoisJimmyJuan added 08:03 - Nov 9 Not sure the preceding posts were "going on about how good he is". More messages of support for a much loved ex player after 2 own goals which is a good thing. There is a difference.

Saxonblue74 added 08:25 - Nov 9 Reason for both is that Burgess had put himself in the right position. Just unlucky. For the second, had he missed it then Nunez would have poked it in anyway.

Bluemike31 added 08:40 - Nov 9 Quite funny really how so many swoon on about how good Burgess is but he wasn't!! Bang average at best. Kipré, who is a much better defender scored an unfortunate OG and the know it all brigade waded into him. Just move on from Burgess for crying out loud, go read the Swansea forum, that will tell you what they think of Burgess and it was before yesterday.

jas0999 added 09:22 - Nov 9 Thought he was a bit unlucky with at least one of the OGs. But suspect it’s not just about the own goals. He was part of a poor defensive display from them. Not helped that he was up against some excellent attackers. Goes to show how good our squad is.

Jugsy added 09:40 - Nov 9 Whoisjimmyjuan - I’m not talking about the preceding posts on this thread, I’m talking about all the comments people have been making since he left. It’s been a constant theme for people to slate our current defenders and the preference to have kept Burgess. Evidence of yesterday? He wasn’t up to it against us. Let’s put this one to bed and move on.

hyperbrit added 16:47 - Nov 9 At least he was trying when the rest of their defense looked like Monty Python's "Long John Silver Society

WhoisJimmyJuan added 19:23 - Nov 9 Jugsy - fair do's and totally agree that we have to move on. We must back CM's replacements. I think there is a lot of potential in Greaves. He looked good on the ball in that attacking cameo last week. Needs to build his confidence. Both he and O'Shea need to get comfortable in and have confidence with the system.
