since coming on. As promising as Walle Egeli is, he’s wasteful. Wes has added the extra quality in the end product. Gets his head up and makes the right decision. Great see him back. I feared for him after all the new signings, but he’s probably still our best RW. |  |

Burns has been great. Walle Egeli is raw. I do think Walle Egeli offers us a lot defensively that might go unnoticed. |  |

Love that goal came from two players some were doubting would even play for Town again! |  | | |

And he gives his man an issue, as he can go inside or out and it gives the defender more to think about. Well drilled oppositions can crowd Egeli out in that right hand role. |  | | |

Egeli has a bright career but right side just isn't him. |  |

Do you see him as a 10? | |

He's just so direct. He commits defenders. Excellent sub to have against tiring legs. |  | | |

I think so personally or a kane type striker role.. | |

Egeli will improve, but Brns ability to beat his man round the outside was a big difference today. Great to have two players in that at position - and super to see Burns come back and make a difference. |  |

I do think we’ve suffered a bit having both left and right wingers wanting to come inside all the time…Burns out there with pace and wanting to go on the outside really stretches play and makes a lot more space for the left winger and 10 to use. Team looks a lot more balanced with him out there. Egeli as a 10 is the future I think, but might not be ready for that quite yet. Nice problem to have! |  | | |

Id only test egeli in the striker role off the bench
I can't see the 10 without nunez in it, and sammy showed when he came on as a sub, he works well against tired legs in it.
Stick egeli uptop. | |

Yeah I tend to agree and highlights once again how weird that right hand side has been in terms of consistency |  |

I don't personally understand why KM keeps going with Egeli out there.. If he was a hutch, quick footed inside or out player i'd get it, but egeli is so one footed the last time he went outside we scored from a cross.
There were 3/4 passes to him today just inside halfway, he had one to beat to get away, everytime he tried the same left footed flick and lost the ball each time, there was no attempt at any other skill, i feel if you're up egelis backside, you're not getting beat, just show him inside and let others come across and mop up.
I don't mean to make it out he's a bad player, he's not, hes got a very very bright future, but i can't help but think we are regressing him on the right. | |

Wes is a more effective winger than Egeli. I don't think Walle beat his man all game but there is huge potential there. Probably the best way to play them at the moment with Wes coming in to close out the game. |  | | |

It’s seems to me we’re waiting for it to click properly in terms of an attacking sense
Trouble is its taking its time but I have a feeling once it does Egeli will be another level. Just seeing his strength, vision at time and work rate makes me think he’s well worth having plenty of patience with
Wes will push him on I’m sure | |

Wes has had the equivalent of about 1 game of football since coming back and has a goal, an assist, and very close to a 2nd assist. He’s done more than Egeli has done in weeks.
You’re right Egeli has been wasteful. His finishing hasn’t been particularly good and his delivery from wide areas is even worse. He’s young and we need to give him time but he isn’t producing the goods yet.
Great to have Burns back. |  | | |
| Wes has made a big difference on 15:49 - Jan 17 with 1810 views | HighgateBlue |
Absolutely. So far, it's been all that we could have hoped for, having Burns back. The way he cuts into that penalty area on the angle, as if he's being controlled on some video game. He's still got his pace, he isn't afraid to try to go past his man, he manages to find himself with options in the box, and then he picks the right one. And executes it.
Hopefully Egeli can learn from him - they're different players, so it'd be good for Egeli to add a couple of additional tricklets to his armoury. Love Egeli, think he'll be big, but right now still learning on the job. Glad he's getting minutes, but always a delight when Burns comes on. To have him and Clarke on the bench in the Champ is a joy to behold.
I seem to recall that Burns' reviews in the Champ last time round were a little luke warm compared with the love for him in league 1, but he was so effective then, and he's so effective now. It means that to all intents and purposes it doesn't matter that McAteer has, let's say, not lived up to his price tag.
A striker who can finish, and we're golden. |  | | |

Has a great end product doesn't he. Whether it's finding the net or finding the pass. Has great composure in dangerous positions and is clinical. |  | | |

It's been great to see Wes back and smashing it, but the comparisons with Walle Egeli are unfair. One is a seasoned pro in this league coming on towards the end of a match against tired legs with his main attribute being pace. The other is a very young lad having his first season in a foreign country. | | | |

Burns has a lot less raw talent than Egeli, Philogene, Clarke and probably McAteer. Yet they could all learn a lot from him.
His assist today was so simple. Direct run in behind. Its what we have been missing all season.
I suspect Egeli, Philogene and Clarke would all have shot. McKenna made a big point of how he has been trying to get certain players to pass when a team mate is in a better position.
For all Egeli, Philogene and Clarke are capable of doing great things individually, I would much rather watch a team of more limited team-players, like Burns. | | | |

Said the same. Wee doesn’t have the ability of walle egeli but he looks far more effective.
Pushes the opposition back 10 yards when he receives the ball as they don’t dare press him as he’s direct and can go on the outside. With Egeli, though as I said I like him and he’s very good it’s a case of stand him up and show him inside. | | | |

Burns a lot less raw talent, people seriously undervalue this guys strengths. Pace on the outside, happy to cut inside to angle into the far bottom corner or that lovely outside of the boot goal in them promotion season. Guy just has an instinct for getting in good positions and is savvy in the opposition box for finding space similar to Chaplin. He is far better than McAteer, different player to Egeli who does ok on the right but still think it will be some time before he gets to grips with the position he is being asked to play. He is very left footed and McKenna is trying to utilise him like he did with Hutchinson last season to one inside on the left and smash one in the far corner. From what I have seen from egeli for his former team and Norway most goals have been from left or central. | | | |

No he is fine there and has fantastic delivery and can cut in and shoot. He's just very young, raw and inconsistent. He's learning a lot out there and doing ok.
We'll need to be patient with him at times. He would have the same ups and down elsewhere but he's better to make the mistakes and learnings where he is for now.
More good than bad just a out for now. But we have a player. | |

Alternatively one cost 18 million and is a championship record signing and the other cost about 100 grand. 1 has been injured for a year and has come back and already looked more dangerous.
I’m sure Egeli has potential but we’ve got about 20 games to determine our season and potentially a lot more than our season financially. Egeli isn’t bringing us enough in that position. I can’t remember the last time he even made that run Burns did for the 3rd let alone execute the assist. Instead he cuts inside and his delivery has been poor, often shin height or way over cooked. | | | |

Egeli is 6 months younger than Omari was in 23/24. So pretty much the same age. And I’ve yet to see anything like the potential Omari showed that season. And it was Omari’s first season of adult football, so I feel it’s a fair comparison.
Do I see Egeli as someone who is going to be in our PL team next year if we go up? No, not yet. | | | |

I think Walle Egeli does more good work than he gets credit for.
I watch the games and often think that he flatters to deceive, but then watch the highlights and see that he is involved in an awful lot of our good bits. He isn't tearing it up at all, and his decision making when dribbling or coming inside isn't always great, but he is quietly doing a decent job and developing all the time.
Comparisons with Burns, who came on against a tired defence leaving space behind, is a bit unfair. That said it was a great sub impact from Burns, and he looks like he could be a real asset again for us in the run in. |  |
