That said, Griffiths when fully fit and ready is a very good striker, and still our number one. I’m still hopeful over Hornby, and Burke is at least playing that role regularly at the highest level of the game. I wouldn't say callum Wilson is terrific, his goal record in the epl isnt particularly impressive but he does score a few for a relegation battler. He scored lots at lower level English football and is probably similar standard to Griffiths imo. Having watched a bit of burke for alaves its clear he isn't a striker, he will be a winger in the long run but even then he struggles to make any impact in that position. Hornby hopefully does well with his move to reims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checking Wilson record he has scored 1 in 3 for Bournemouth which is pretty decent Tbf, although I still wouldn't consider him good enough for a top 6 epl side, hes more a lower half epl player imo.

prideothenorth Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Never been a big fan of his but McBurnie has had a good gave v Spurs this evening and scored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfingers Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 We should be happy we have Mcburnie. I've slowly grown to like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccaughey85 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Mcburnie played well and took his goal well, fair play to him, I have been a big critic of him but hes worked hard for Sheffield United tonight. Still wouldn't start him ahead of Griffiths but he will get more chances in the future and will be part of our squads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prideothenorth Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Whether we like McBurnie or not, if the guy is in decent form then we need in the squad at least, we are not exactly well off for strikers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second Sheffield goal sums him up. Three or four terrible touches then a superb ball out to the the left back. Then charges into the box just beaten by the goalscorer. Hope he can do this at Hampden or Oslo or Belgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been slightly more optimistic with our strikers recently. Shankland hasn't looked out of place in a scotland top, Mcburnie playing in the EPL and griffiths fit again. Not sure if dykes will choose scotland but we'll see what happens with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is this second striker going to be? Cant be him and Griffiths, Shankland?? No, cant see it, Naismith is the most like his Sheffield team mates McGoldrick or Sharp.

sandyb Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Well what a week....... Gilmour hooked at half time, McTom and McGinn on the bench and Robbo gubbed. McLean nearly relegated, Fraser having a wee break and Marshall in administration... thankfully McBurnie and Tierney can raise the spirits...... plenty of time to get back on track I hope!

Not sure where this negativity is coming from as one or two ppl in here seem to think our players are doing badly. Epl teams are playing every three days, guys like mctominay and Mcginn are going to be rested. Robbo has an off night, so what Liverpool have the title won already in which hes been a top performer all season. Fraser is obviously moving onto bigger things and McLean was always going to get relegated. I think its been a really positive restart from a Scottish perspective, we should be happy that we have a good few players playing for top half epl teams as well as a few playing well at lower epl teams as well like Armstrong for example.

Man City have just signed a Scottish kid as well.... so the future is great..... centre forward and half next please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
