Dan Burn was superb for Wigan Man of the Match.
Brilliant display for Wigan tonight. Didn't fit for us but good for him and Wigan.
Close to his goal at Wembley perhaps.
Congratulations to Dan, top bloke but was never going to make grade with us.
Enjoy it Dan.
Along with Humphrey's against Tottenham fulham are shining for all the right reasons now.
Brilliant performance. Really enjoyed the match!
As I've said on the post I put up MoM,he was superb.
In the middle of the crowd of fans chanting too. Great to see. Will endear him to their fans all the more.
How many said he was not good enough for Fulham, he was immense tonight.
Well done Wigan and a deserved victory, Dan Burn great performance!!
Really pleased for him. Great result.
I think Burn, Grimmer, Stockdale and Christensen all should've stayed.
Mobbed coming of the pitch, well done Dan

Not a player that I ever slagged off, he should be playing in a higher league!

You are basing that on one game, he was not good enough for FFC when he left the club and he is now plying his trade in the 1st division which says it all really :doh:
Immense performance - well done Dan, and Wigan.
I had to laugh at Pep going mad when one of his players got sent off for a studs up, off the ground tackle, similar to the one on his own player against Cardiff in the previous round, that he protested so much about.
He did raise his game tonight though :54:
The move was good for him,it has made him a better player.

He could have made the grade with us, still good enough to deputise for Ream or Kalas!!
Realising that i will be shot down but I think we had decent CBs
Burn , Hutchinson and Ream all good in my view . Ream though proving the best :-) ( And I have no complaints about Kalas )
BUT they never had consistency in selection or cover or confidence .
I complaint for 3 years that every week we had a different CB pairing
It was great to see Dan ruling the air like the RAF over London.
Citi looked to have an extra player despite being a man down. They controlled the second half, held possession and kept Wigan's attack in check. Yet, they flopped around like a Series A game. What is with these over prices prima donnas? Why can't they just play and stop with the knee grabbing and flopping about? I hate wussy ball.
Congrats to the Wigan lads. Must have been a great day to be a fan of theirs. Good on them!
Dan was superb and gave his all - he played a crucial role in the Wigan victory.

He's actually been good all season,and he was up against top strikers tonight or didn't you notice that.

Really sad comment m8, he always tried when he played for us maybe not the best player we have ever had, but a lot better than some we have paid millions for!!
Burn is a sound player in the right kind of side and we're not that side. He's solid and brave, but also slow and not composed, so playing for a side that plays a high line and plays from the back doesn't suit his skillset.
Its got nothing to do whether he was good or bad for us,the post was about how excellent he was tonight.
Credit where its due.
It proves that stats don´t win matches, but goals do. City had 83% possession & 29 shots & got naff all for it. Well done Wigan.

Exactly Mince, after the week-end result there is always somebody trying to make a negative posting....I have forgotten how to do that!

I agree with the other guy. He isn't good enough for Fulham. One good game doesn't make him good enough. I'd much prefer Ream and Kalas. It's not a negative post, I'd just rather our CBs

Reminiscent of our game against utd at old Trafford
Well done Dan Burn. Football is about confidence I hope you got a lot from that tonight. Good luck in the next game as well

He may very well be next season. Wigan look a very tough and committed group.
My favorite moment was when he intercepted a pass and hared up the field faster than the Mancs could catch him.
Love Dan ... don't miss him, but love him.
Well pleased for Dan Burn, he has the heart the size of a football. I was sorry to see him leave Fulham.
But glad he is doing very well, a top bloke.

[Burn has] actually been good all season,and he was up against top strikers tonight or didn't you notice that.
Indeed he has and indeed he was, Mince, and I thought he was MOTM too. Now he has the chance to put Saints in their place too.
Lovely to see Dan enjoying the fan adulation last night.
Good stuff.
Dan was magnificent. They gave MOTM to Grigg as he score the goal but it was Dan who was, literally, head shoulders above the rest. That charge up field in the closing stages was brilliant!!
Well done Wigan.

He always tried his best for us. Glad he's found regular football elsewhere and I hope for him the good times will keep coming :)
Delighted for Dan,a great person as well as a footballer

:plus one:
Remember that great game Dan had for us against Man.U. in our relegation season, I always liked him and thought that given the right coaching in the right team he would be good.
Anyway, congratulations Dan on a magnificent performance last night.
