Richie Burke intent on developing attack

I think the key is patience. The suporters have got to realise that it won't always go to plan and when it doesn't, we can't all just hurl abuse or moan and whine about it. From what Burke's saying, it sounds like he knows that when Hughes was trying to get the ball down and play football, we weren't doing well enough with the final product so the whole keep ball/pass, pass, pass thing was becoming frustrating. I think he's looking to be more clinical and offer something more in an attacking sense as opposed to simply trying to keep the ball at all costs - hence talking about midfielders making more 'risk' runs in the chance that the ball gets through.

There's be times when we're off the boil or other teams get results against us - that's football. The main thing is to remember that the guy is trying to get us to a point where folk want to come and watch what we're doing.

Everything I've heard from him so far has ticked the right boxes - here's hoping that more boxes are ticked on the park this season too.
