" I was now only flattened by those who thought it acceptable to start jumping onto unsuspecting fans"

I've noticed that some fans are a lot more performative when it comes to celebrating a goal nowadays. Almost as if they feel like they have something to prove

Strange bench.

No Zaroury or Benson.

Zaroury missing is an odd one. Injury you'd imagine. Who else isn't there? Redmond, O Shea? Hard to keep track

Thanks - corrected

Thanks for the report. Have you been surprised by how we've started the season or is it more or less what you expected to date?

JohnDearyMe

Some early thoughts… We’ve played a lot of very good teams We’re improving in a lot of areas Our pace will hurt teams We miss Foster We probably have too many players We need two excellent left backs Trafford is not the problem We will beat some teams with ease Agree with most of that. I'd certainl...

Still believe in the quality of this squad, just praying that they have their own belief now going into a run of games that they simply have to pick up points in. Foster being back is massive - we desperately need something prepared for January in that position when he goes to AFCON. Missed him ter...

JohnDearyMe

I still believe, I’m still confident that we can and probably will stay up. I’m yet to be convinced that Cullen, Brownhill and Berge is a solid midfield (at this level). Every relegation we have had, our Achilles heel has been midfield. Massengo, a new signing in January, Cork, whatever or whoever ...

Only an 8 minute difference between a walk to Bramley Moore Dock from Liverpool Lime Street than there is to Goodson. I was surprised that Everton’s new ground was quite so far out (per Google maps) though I assume it will be more easily accessible and I think that there is another train station ne...

Tbf that is good these days, especially with Avanti! Is that with a Railcard?

Never thought I'd feel nostalgic for Virgin Trains at all but at least they did offer pretty cheap advance tickets every now ans then whereas Avanti never seem to

Well I wasn’t on but were our lads really chanting “Come on Burnley” as the players were celebrating Berges goal? Unlikely I would think.

Maybe they use clips of chants to cover any bad language that the microphones have picked up perhaps? Does seem strange

Our home record against United on the whole is poor. Better playing them away!

Does anyone know when we last scored more than one against them at home?

JohnDearyMe

Good to see Brownhill back in the starting eleven but why is he allowed anywhere near our set pieces? I'm struggling to recall a Burnley player who is as consistently bad at them. Very strange

JohnDearyMe

Good not to concede an early goal like we did in the first 3 games. Will hopefully help to build our confidence

JohnDearyMe

Not sure if the game is on tv tomorrow but the Prince of Wales pub opposite the train station in Wimbledon town centre generally shows all live sport. The Alex is a nicer pub (few mins from train station) and has sport as well

Sorry, but the hat trick against Barnsley was at home.
We were 2 -1 down and a few of us put money on us to win at half time, back when there were kiosks on Turf.
We won a few quid and had a great Tuesday night

Funny comments from their manager

The defence in 2009/10 was worse under Coyle than Laws to be fair. He at least, in general, stopped the constant hammerings away.

This team is lacking experience but the squad isn’t.

It reminded me of our away performances in the top flight under Coyle yesterday

JohnDearyMe

A decent first 15-20 minutes and a lovely goal, but the next hour was abject and I'm a bit floored not so much by the performance as by the tactical set up which made it so predictable. Lessons to be learned and fast. Trafford- 6 - didn't think he did much wrong and his distribution seemed OK to me...

We did sadly because we were weak and sloppy at a pivotal moment

Surely we can't be as bad away from home

JohnDearyMe

Good grief. Worst home performance of our premiership era. Incredibly worrying. At least when we got stuffed by Man City under Laws we knew we were doomed.

Never realised they played county cricket there. Was the shape of the pitch unusual for a cricket ground? Or did they have more to make use of than just the perimeter of the football pitch?

You’d wonder how they fit a league game in. Part timers at that level. They need a very accommodating boss.

I think Koleosho's performance answered his selection personally, raw but exciting. He looks like he has promise, was just surprised to see him as one of 5 debutants above Zaroury who has impressed, knows the system well and has more English football experience. Sure it wouldn't have made much of a...

Decent performance and some interesting performances. Conclusions; . - Foster and Amdouni looked very promising and with a goal or two will give us useful options up front. - Koleosho looks lively but a little raw - we need a left back - we have loads of pace at the back, which is great but particu...

The Foster thing is funny. Some of us could tell he was getting up to speed last season and would be better this season. It was pretty obvious his attributes would be well suited to the Prem. He was superb this evening. Last season he never looked particularly quick but he looked sharp and pacy ton...

Older generations had the likes of George Beel, Ray Pointer and Willie Irvine as their striking icons.

His searing pace, aerial prowess, or his she...
