With the transfer window reopening this morning, that makes our current loaned players eligible to be recalled, head coach Michael Beale said he hasn’t had that discussion with the striker yet, who is still yet to net for us.
NOT HAD THAT DISCUSSION
"I haven't had that discussion [about Burstow's future], I've just come in and I'm having a look at these players. I gave Mason a go [from the bench at Rotherham], I gave young Eliezer a go off the bench against Coventry City last week.”
WILLING TO WORK WITH THEM
"I'm looking at the boys in the training, it's my first time working with them and it's been spoken about enough that the strikers we brought in haven't scored yet. I'm looking and seeing and we'll assess as the window opens what it is that we'll do, but my focus at the moment is working with them in training, getting them in front of the goal and scoring.”
NEED MORE SHOTS
"There's a lot of work going on in the background with these strikers and I think it's clear that as a team, that we need to convert our possession into more shots and then more goals. Before coming in I think we had the highest expected-goals in the league but that only matters if you're putting that on the scoreboard.
TURN POSSESSION INTO SHOTS
"I want the ball to go in the back of the net, as the away team at Rotherham we had real difficulties in the game and yet we still managed to have 70 percent possession. I'm expecting us to work the goalkeeper more than we did and take some of the burden off Jack [Clarke]. At the moment, he's on fire and long may that continue."
