Re: Burnley today
We did fine, if not quite as fluent up front as on Wednesday. Windass was the pick for me, again, all action and excellent prompting and looking like he is going to be a threat to opposing goalies when he really gets going. Thought Lidds did well against a pacy, tricky winger, rarely allowing him to get a good cross in, making great tackles rather than standing off. Rhino was his usual tough, uncompromising self, looking comfortable on the right, which looks his natural position to me. Bowerman frustrates me, never getting sufficiently involved and letting the game pass him by, in contrast to Mingoia who never stops pressing and closing down. Lee Wort didn't get many chances to impress, though he brings a physical presence up front which we otherwise lack. he had one moment when he played Brett in with a nice touch, but nothing came of it. For what it's worth he was banging the goals in during the pre-match shoot-ins. With his record, admittedly at lower league level, he obviously knows where the goal is, and for me, being a gambler, I would take a chance on him rather than with Brett, who JB seems to fancy. I would have started Wort, as 20 minutes game time seems a bit mean considering how far he has travelled to show what he can do.
Over to you, Football19!
