They have pressed quick and hard and Davis has been an outlet very much a goal against the run but they have players to hurt us.

They have forced turnovers and won the 2nds and duels there getting close to us more there quality at pressing

Hopefully our quality will come out in the 2nd half.

Pace has got a long way to go still.

When we are back in the prem without any debt we will be back to where he took over.

Signs are looking positive though

Your incorrect by a long way out squad is younger and now worth more than it was when he took over also has more potential.

I wasn’t able to make todays game and am not watching, so can’t comment on his performance in this game. You’re right that he’s feeding on scraps and that doesn’t help him. However, even when not scoring, I want to see a striker holding the ball up, stretching the defence, dropping deep to support ...

watsonsclarets

Can I ask what is Wood supposed to do? He doesn't create himself not sure what people want from him he can't score if he doesn't get to touch the ball and it polite to call them scraps he fed.

watsonsclarets

Because our game is based on dealing with crosses more worried about slide balls stay narrow is our mantra

Currently losing 2-1

Heaton needs to start next game simple as that.

What at center back!!!!

watsonsclarets

I'm more worried who should be our centre backs and full backs

watsonsclarets

Tarkowski and Lowton and the rest playing a zig zag back line. Staircase framework.

Tarkowski can surely not be close to the England side at the minute.

save of the season that

we just look like lost boys with the physicality of a krankie.

I have seen him a few times he not that quick not as quick as Vydra he has a few tricks but he knows where the bag is.
look at Lawrence Shankland who needs to lose a bit of timber but is decent in the Charlie Austin mould.

Hart 8 Lowton 3 Brain scrambled and the flat line was more like a stairway very poor. People talk about Taylor need to look at his starting position when transitions happen. (Yes Willian is good but why was he so narrow but still letting him cut in and also played them onside time after time) see st...

Christian Gunter Left Back -SC Friburg

will cost a bit but would be ideal at left back

watsonsclarets

I would like two pacey comfortables with the ball full backs both left and right and both need to be first team player ready.

watsonsclarets

I dont try to take the opposite view. I have said im only 60-40 the ball didnt go out and id like to see better replays of it and ive said i suspect the linesman screwed up and it was probably offside. The reason I come across this way is because so many other people see it from the perspective of ...

watsonsclarets

Well, that was as expected zero goal threat and framework against a world class side.

Do what you always do, get what you always get kind of stuff.

Oh well roll on next week

We have better players than both Cardiff and Huddesfield yet they both out passed. The fault lies with SD and his boring tactics and cpaching the football side of the game out of the players We do not have better technical players than Huddersfield at all, in my opinion, they have better technical ...

watsonsclarets

Strange that for all the beautiful football Eddie gets his team playing, they had less possession than we had at Cardiff and we just boot it anywhere soon as we get it. Just shows how silly using stats is. As somebody has said you're hardly going to boss possession if you only play with 2 in midfie...

They can be used to back up arguments, but not form the basis of them. There is no substitute for actually watching the game. Watching a game you mean watching the ball because watching a game can mean so much different to different people. They form the basis of how people play and who they play a...

So yes, probably the best.

And I bet there budget a fraction of the bottom teams in the Premier League too.

Long is quick and strong, Maybe Ben been targeted more but he won nothing in the air and his passing seems to have gone backward.

watsonsclarets

Hart 8 Great saves. Lowton 6 Was isolated time and time again by JGB not covering. Mee 5 Won nothing in the Air and looks a shadow of the player he was. Tarkowski 5 Poor passing Taylor 6 Much work to do but was supported better by the guy in front of him. Cork 5 slow and sluggish however it hard in ...

Cardiff were always going to give us a battle and I guess that today was more a case of dealing with the opponents rather than try and do our own thing. We did just that and our players and manager deserve immense credit for that. BUT...there’s still so much improvement needed. Our ball retention i...

Aaron Lennon leaping salmon header in our box will get him an extra point from me bloody great effort.

Once again over 50 percent and again we lose. shame bring on Sunday. I would like to see the final 3rd entries and the break up of the balls placed directionally.

Gutted oh well

Unconscious Bias towards Heaton. He was always a good communicator but commanding his area and coming for balls was never his strength either. Heats is one of my favorite players ever but teams evolve and I think Hart is the best keeper out of the 5 we have maybe Pope has great potential but there a...

Hart 8 A very very good save and looks solid. Lowton 6 Some very good some not so good though he was caught out a few times early on and looked all over the place but grew into the game and overlapped well toward the end. Taylor 6 Not the finished article but played ok for most parts some good block...

Much needed and welcome 1-0 Burnley are back to basics and play organized and well-drilled football.

watsonsclarets

But those games were THIS season! I understand that but Ings made the difference at Southampton we retreated and never got out. Watford was two avoidable goals and they sat back and people have taken notice. Look at today how many times did they win the ball in the low/mid block and we were caught....

watsonsclarets

I think teams have learned that if you do not press us we do not know how to go through teams so you can save energy and not press us because we seem to lack the quality to go through or round sides. Last year the small margins where sides going at us but this year we are making a few more mistakes ...

The best thing I can say about today is everybody looks a yard off the pace and that's the best I can say about it all.

I do not blame Lennon he being played very narrow against a back 3 ?? I do not get the logic i understand tucking in at the back but going forward he playing to narrow.

Beaten by a side which cost half the one ours did and by half the wages but had European nous and a bit of quality going forward.

I'm not moaning just stating a fact but we are still in it and need to play well to beat this side over 2 legs.

watsonsclarets

They have some decent players for sure moving forward and we look a yard of the pace in both physical running and when we receive the ball . We do not have any tempo about us even with 11.

Come on Burnley

The opening post is kind of correct. But how many people stayed yesterday for the full 90!!!!

We tend not to win or is it just me.

Seriously there is a direct correlation when we have above 50 percent possession.

I thought we were outfought today and we looked a yard off all over.
