‘Burnley are the most talked about club in our staff room!’

Can’t get higher praise than that.

The trouble is, he talks us up and then beats us.

I'm not falling for it.

He speaks very well of us and in a sincere way. Good to get postive coverage.

Comes over as a nice, genuine and knowledgeable bloke to me; down to earth and not up his on backside like many are.

Certainly looked like they’d done their research on us in the last game, ran rings round us.

At least today they won’t know half of our squad.

He is a genuinely nice guy. I know him from his time at Halifax, when my old man was poorly Chris was round at the house regularly.

Sean Dyche speaks highly of him too.
Mutual respect and camaraderie...not many English managers.

Be interesting to see what happens, with the new owners, now they have full control.

They press quickly o the counter and overload the middle which is really hard to defend against. Second half was odd as they really didn't look like scoring.

They were much better than us for the first 20 then after that we coped easily enough with them. Even without key spine players

I really like him. Reminds me of Dyche tbh. Plays with honesty and graft and does have them playing some good football.

The more sides we have in the PL like Sheff Utd and ourselves, the better it is for English football. Proves money cannot guarantee success. This top 6 that everyone talks about is thankfully starting to be dismantled. I think Wolves have been immense and who knows how good Leeds might prove to be

Once Leeds replace Bamford they'll be a different side, unfortunately.

gave an honest appraisal today, doubtless both managers delighted with a point, don't want to stray too close to a europa slot.
