Burn has played well in the past two games so should keep his place. Signing for a big fee should guarantee nothing. Precedent? In 1979 we signed some bloke called Steve Foster but he didn't play until the fourth game.

If it had been under CH it would probably have been the 14th :smile:

I thought Burn did very well against Birmingham, and looked comfortable defending in wide spaces. Do the good folk of NSC think Potter will bring Webster in quickly, or wait and see how Burn starts the season? £22 million is an awful lot for a centre back sat on the bench...

Any ideas? This nightmare has become very real

I’d be disappointed if Burn is dropped for Watford, after how well he has performed over the entirety of preseason. The message to the players has to be that you have to provide a consistent high level of performance to play. If Burn is one of the standout performers and is dropped from the 11 without even having a chance to prove himself then then it’d be a real shame - especially given how capable he looks.

Burn keeps his place for me. Didn't really put a foot wrong last night and played well against Birmingham too. It was noticable that Valencia attacked down our right, trying to expose the supposedly more experienced Montoya and Duffy. Agree that it's possible Webster fits in at RWB for now.
