I was wrong, I got it off the BBC website but it didn’t say that he had been substituted when I checked so I assumed he played the 90.
I wonder where Pedro stands in our pantheon of strikers? Up there with the greats? Of course not. The best of the rest? Many examples who would argue otherwise. They also served? Probably, his goals contributed to survival in an abysmal season. The fact that his replacement has equalled his goals tally before Autumn sets in, speaks volumes.
Of course. But then we wouldn't have been able to sign him. I actually think his signing was a major positive of last season. We could now be in the third tier, in massive debt, or financially ****ed. Or all three.
He would do much better in the current team and the way we are playing. Can't remember which game but there was one televised game where he spent the first 30mins pressing the opposition defenders and chasing the ball, then was absolutely knackered.
Nice to see Burstow hitting form. Hopefully transforms him as a player. That first goal was mustard. Fleming also looks decent future prospect.
- Abdülkadir Ömür came on in the 68th minute in Antalyaspor's 5-2 defeat to Çaykur Rizespor. Former City target Rak-Sakyi scored twice for Rizespor - Abu Kamara was an unused sub in Getafe's 2-1 defeat to Osasuna - Matty Jacob played the full game in Reading's 1-1 draw with Mansfield Town - Mason Burstow played 85 minutes and scored twice in Bolton's 2-1 win over Peterborough United - Thimothée Lo-Tutala was an unused sub in Doncaster's 1-1 draw with Burton Albion - Rocco Coyle was an unused sub in Boston's 3-1 win over Gateshead - Tyrell Sellars-Fleming played the first half in Scunthorpe's 1-0 defeat to Carlisle United - Zane Myers was an unused sub in Scarborough's 3-2 win over King's Lynn Town - Harry Revill played the full game in Salisbury's 1-0 defeat to Torquay United - Stan Hewitt played 77 minutes in Bridlington's 4-2 defeat to Guiseley
Both Burstows were very well taken. His ‘chop’ inside for his second goal was very impressive. His style reminds me of Marcus Rashford.
Stan Hewitt went off injured. After the game the Brid manager (Mike Thompson) said he had "rolled his ankle" and they will wait to see what the damage is. Shame, he played well prior to that.
If we do decide to cash in on Burstow eventually we might get back what we paid. Kone who got 21 goals last season went to QPR for 2.75million (up to £5 million with add ons). Burstow gets anywhere near this and we could get back the £2 million we paid or we could give him a chance here.
