He chased a lost cause and put himself in to a position to get wiped out by the keeper. How is that crapping the bed? At 5:05 He’s clearly talking about him jumping away from the ball at the free kick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if he did end up at EEP. McPake seemed to mention him a few times in his interviews 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen a page on Twitter saying Burrell is rumoured to be coming our way. He clearly spat the dummy for not getting much game time (he probably had a case) but McPake won't take on those types that think they're more important. There was a fans meeting last Wednesday and he was asked about the work that goes in before signing a player, he and the club definitely do their homework. Well I cant imagine he’s gonna tell yous he flings a dart at a board and signs what player it lands on.

He’s a better option than Oliver for me but that’s my opinion Agreed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh that was crap but I’ve never known a strikers positioning in a wall to bear on the decision to keep him. As far as his effort goes in open play then I think he does show a lot of heart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Burrell is very raw still and needs to work on a lot of aspects of his game. He always seemed far more effective coming off the bench than starting. I can't see him getting much more game time if he's joining a team looking to compete at the top of the championship. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this sentiment, thought he would run and put in effort up top often with little to no support. His effort for that free kick was very poor and I can see why fans are unhappy about it but I don’t think it really tells the full story Edited May 16, 2023 by HopeStreetCadette 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be completely fair to Falkirk fans I would be raging if we signed a mega diddy like McKay on the kind of contract he's on.

18BAIRN76 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 It's clear that Burrell was probably a bit overrated by some in our support - myself included in that - but it's purely re-writing of history to call him absolutely shite. He was the most dangerous striker in our squad last season. Whether you think that makes him decent, or you think it actually highlights the lack of firepower we had is up to you. Wouldn't have minded keeping him but I'm not going to lose sleep that he's gone. Next. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I'd rather him than Oliver. If Burrell had the chances afforded to Oliver in the cup semi we would have scored at least once. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that. He got 5 in 18 starts and 7 in 19 off the bench. Probably benefited more from the extra space and tired legs later on in the game but do think we could have set up to utilise his pace more as he is rapid and not easy to find that players with that amount of pace.

Shodwall cat Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) This season we perhaps had too many players that haven't played much first team football . Likes of burrell, lawal, yeats,Rowe,wright, kinnear and max for example had all played very little first team football before this season and that can cause problems with inconsistency and lack of game experience.

Roboccop Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I understand Burrell was offered a contract extension earlier in the year but his agent refused to discuss it then. I suspect he has been courted by other clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Bit disappointed in the retention of Mckay and Oliver. Mckay cos he's gone back to being murder, Oliver cos of what someone above said.... We can't just keep retaining "ok for the squad" type players and there's just not enough goals in him. I think he'd be most effective in a 2 and McGlynn doesn't appear to want that..... I'd prefer to sign appropriately to complement Jordan Allan than retain Oliver. McGinn..... Wouldn't have been gutted if he left but used properly he still can be a proper asset. Again, we need to sign properly to build around McGinn, not expect him to do a role he can't do. Burrell..... Would have kept but was already resigned to losing so not much point going on too much there. Again, not totally gutted, but would have kept him. Very pleased to see Ola kept. That boy has proper skills, and lacks only a bit of engine and a bit of positional nous. Both of these come with experience and a good pre season hopefully. He's a very worthwhile gamble because if he kicks on, he's the sort of player who undresses you if you don't stay on top of him, and I'm doing so opens up space for others. At this level he's a lock-pick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
