Just give the ball away with lazy passes
Wood looks like he can't be arsed

Good effort!!
COME ON BURNLEY!

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Nov 10, 2018 3:44 pm

Leicester 1/2 to score the first goal. I think they are very decent odds, so just put a bet on. Hope I lose.

Newcastle two up

Slightest pressure and we're passing it back 60 yards

The minimum requirement mantra seems light years away.

I keep hearing about getting back to basics. I look forward to seeing it!

Have we not trained for a few weeks ?

If we have, what on earth have they been doing ?

HiroshimaClaret · Post by **HiroshimaClaret** » Sat Nov 10, 2018 3:46 pm

It`s taken 40 minutes but better...keep the bloody ball!

p.s. I got a bit carried away there...

SGr · Post by **SGr** » Sat Nov 10, 2018 3:48 pm

Well, that was as depressing as ever. But we're not losing.

Just keep them out and get Brady and Barnes on last 20 mins to try and nick a win like we used to

Lee Dixon sums it up perfectly for me
A laboured front two with a midfield incapable of linking up with them

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Nov 10, 2018 3:50 pm

How that is 0-0, Christ only knows.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Nov 10, 2018 3:50 pm

Still in the game.

Steven Defour playing well.
Lucky with shot off bar and line
Sensibly refereed by Mike Dean

Cmon Burnley

CFS · Post by **CFS** » Sat Nov 10, 2018 3:51 pm

Lee Dixon also said we conceded 13 in each of our last 3 games.

I got pelters at the back end of last season for suggesting that we need to address the poor form before the end of the season because it can affect the next.

We didn’t, we did nothing to freshen up a successful squad (which needed doing) and we’ve continued to be very, very poor.

I’m afraid we are reaping what we sowed. I just hope that we can address things on the pitch in the short term and have a successful January. If we don’t, we are down!

I was previously convinced that we would stay up by virtue of there being three shitter teams than us. I’m far from sure that there are three worse now

perfect HT score. The emotion will flatten them late on. This is winnable. COYC

Well the one game in which he started - the Bournemouth game, he did exactly that and we also won 4-0 .... so who knows

The problem with that argument is that we were poor at the end of the previous season and we didn't address the situation.

However, we started like a house on fire next season, beating Chelsea etc.

Ok still goalless , hey will take take .
Still look over ran in the midfield Defour needs help really .
Otherwise take a draw now that's for sure .

BabylonClaret · Post by **BabylonClaret** » Sat Nov 10, 2018 3:57 pm

Well that was terrible. Midfield is struggling. If the tactics are ti go direct and pick up second balls thrn thats not working either. Hendrick for Cork for me.

Too many of our players cant seem to find a white shirt- we look like Championship fodder at the moment.

DC Wat is spot on about the failure to freshen the squad. Dreadful summer window (as a number of folks said at thr tine and git pelters)

True - it’s not a guarantee of poor form the following season but I’d argue that the problems that we are seeing this season are a continuation from the end of last.

The problem is, after another terrible display so far, half of the people will still be happy and quote the orient game and a 7th placed finish last year.

We need a change.

Did we freshen the squad at the start of last season?

Come on Burnley! It`s 1am here and I`m fighting the urge to go to bed. SHow me something in the first 10 minutes to get me to the fridge for another beer. We have got to shore up that midfield though as it`s like a hot knife through butter.

He summarised our season up so well with what he said. We are awful and like he said it’s only a matter of time.

I hope we can stay up but if we can't so be it and we go into the Championship where there are less foreign divers
Its not the end of the world

Except we did ... Wood Cork borh regukar first teamers plus Taylor Bardsley Walters and Wells to bolster squad and push competion for places.

People diving is the least of our worries. The insipid and wholly predictable nature of our play is the problem.

I've just stuck a 5er on us at 6/1. Call me mad but got a feeling it's gonna be one of those days where we get absolutely battered but somehow steal a win!
