Huddersfield Town striker Delano Burgzorg does not count himself among that number.
If Darren Moore decides to give him the hair-dryer treatment, that is fine by him. It might even get more out of him.Footage of Moore, in conversation with the Dutch striker on the training ground, did the rounds last week with the Terriers chief ‘on the case’ of the loanee in the nicest possible sense – urging him to get in the box more.It was all good stuff, but if Moore does lose his temper with Burgzorg, it won’t bother him either.

Burgzorg commented: “I like it. I don’t mind it if a coach screams at me because I like that the coach is on my case and I need it.

On what the Liverpool defender, elder brother of Middlesbrough full-back Rav, said to him about it, Burgzorg continued: “I spoke to Sepp. He’s now playing at Mainz and he played in the Championship before.
