None of the few Binners I've spoken to about it think that sacking Burley was wrong.

They were sorry to see him go, just as I'd be sorry to see Worthy go, but it was the right decision - he couldn't do any more in that job.

My worry with Worthington's current side is that I see no creativity in that midfield. Safri as the 'engine room' as it were (he's not really a tackler in the Holt mode - in fact I think he's a fairly complete midfielder, being able to paqss and tackle well enough) works very well, but we won't get more than 30 games from him this season.

And what else is there? Jarrett? Hughes? Marney? Very disconcerting ...
