Can anybody explain what the ******* rule is for handballs?

2 penalties which were fairly straightforward, you'd expect to get 1, hope to get 2.

We get nothing

I'll be happy with some bench appearances for now. Although it'll need to be 20-25 minutes and not 3 minutes.

Playing better now

McNeil having s mare. So far !

It didn’t last long

Come on Super Burnley

This team is without their record signing also, and was playing football in the Championship last season. Thought this needed stating since we’re allowing them to play like Pep’s Barcelona side.

Pieters made to look foolish by Baldock.

Cork doing some good defensive work here.

That is ridiculous,

That’s handball all day long

Tarks gets a yellow, yet Baldock got nothing for the obvious shove. Decisions are shocking today.

Sounds like Ref and Var is on their side

It’s the Dyche way. Yes Drinkwater hasn’t helped himself but loans under Dyche are pointless. We don’t rotate or switch anything unless we are forced too.

Things must be bad! The general election thread was above this!! Had a feeling we’d lose today after the misery of the rugby.

McNeill not helping Pieters at all - LAZY

I think they were in League 1 not so long ago, too.

It's another laboured performance so far

Non football fans are on though too.

I am so fed up watching this shite

FFS. Some nice passing and moving, then Pieters gets it and lumps it straight to the keeper... cmon ffs.

This is disgraceful - that "passing" stat, for the season so far, just mentioned is pretty poor.

I wish that SD hadn't publicly said how much he welcomed VAR it limits what he can say about todays decisions.

Lost my stream. I'll guess our play is something like - "whoooooosh"

Just as the comms team we’re talking about us & Sheff Utd being in top 2 positions for long balls

Dyche team what do you expect- most long balls and least passing accuracy but people adore him

And complaining about diving could also be interpreted by them as saying they aren't picking up on it. Like I say, it's almost like they're putting their middle finger up by not being neutral.

pieters needs to be replaced.

Having a poor day.

Won 1 in 50 games when 1-0 at half time.

Which stream you watching?
Mines perfect. I might change

Three in the midfield at all times, their wingbacks adding width. Two forwards harrowing our defenders trying to force mistakes and dropping back to help their midfield.

Its a formation that always gives them a strong back line of three or five with their midfielders adding a second row in front and heavy numbers up front when they surge forward. Hendrick cutting in to the midfield has given us a one man advantage in our previous match. Sheffields formation does the same all over the pitch and they frequently have one more man in every key area of the developing play.

Sheffields formation is frighteningly effective, because they have the stamina and discipline to pull it off. We knew what was coming and we haven't done anything to tactically address it.

Out best hope was Wood getting on the end of a long ball or winning headers from set pieces, but has injury robbed us of that.

Pieters positioning was always going to cause us problems and Taylor should have played today. Every time Baldock gets past McNeill we are on dangerous ground.

We need to add Sheffields formation to our limited tactical repertoire.

Uphill battle to pull off a result. Matbe something from a set piece or a stunning Hendrick strike from the edge of the box despite the difficulty of the shot.

The football is shocking and see better in league 2

We have got what we deserve so far...nowt

Not many attacking options off the bench,Brady,Lennon and Vydra all we have to call on to chase a goal,something has to change 2nd half surely,either formation or personnel,40 minute mark and we've not managed a shot on target,that's poor at a newly promoted side.
