Wow sky did not hold back about the game !!!!!
BRIGHTON 0-0 BURNLEY
FT: This was a game that could put you off football for life. Two teams low on confidence who looked afraid to make any risks to win the game. Brighton should have had this wrapped up in the first half but Welbeck had an off day in front of goal. Burnley had one shot on target and offered nothing going forward but were good value for their clean sheet.

Can't really argue with that, 0-0 was about right, neither team did enough to win, but neither team deserved to lose.

Not sure I’d agree that we didn’t deserve to lose. Conceding would have been harsh on our back 5 who put a good shift in, but as a team to concede as many chances as we did without creating a single sniff (other than a misplaced cross) at the other end, I’d say we were very fortunate to get a point.

I seem to recall a very weak header towards their keeper at some point in the second half.

One of Pope's clearances probably.

Two very poor teams on that showing but we know both can be better. Unfortunately the fear factor won out tonight. I love what Sean has done for us but sometimes I yearn for a brave attacking approach to football.
Re: Wow sky did not hold back about the game !!!!!
Can't argue with it. We are absolutely dire to watch and easily the worst team in the league.

Re: Wow sky did not hold back about the game !!!!!
We're about as unwatchable as we've been since the run from Jan-May when Dyche first came in. Can't believe people actually pay to watch this on PPV. Lunatics.

Re: Wow sky did not hold back about the game !!!!!
We got a point due to Brighton's profligate finishing, and our defence and keeper digging in and making sure we didn't concede, the back 5 can be proud of their display, but the rest were dire, and I worry how we're going to win games when we can't score.Rileybobs wrote: ↑Fri Nov 06, 2020 7:41 pmNot sure I’d agree that we didn’t deserve to lose.

Re: Wow sky did not hold back about the game !!!!!
We sure are the worst team in this League right now, the position of 20th going into this game was right.
Can't really blame Dyche, he doesn't have much to play with. If we did try going for games instead of being deeply organised, we probably wouldn't have 2 points this season. Don't spend any money and this is what you get, losing Hendrick and not replacing him is going to hurt.

Re: Wow sky did not hold back about the game !!!!!
Exactly. That's my point, the whole team didn't contribute to that clean sheet. The attacking players failed to take any pressure off our defence. It's a worry for sure. I think we need a bit of a shake up next week to get rid of the fear factor.
Re: Wow sky did not hold back about the game !!!!!
They were right about wellbeck having an off day, unfortunately for Brighton most of his days are OFF DAYS
Re: Wow sky did not hold back about the game !!!!!
We were fantastic after lockdown last season with the same side, so what's changed?

Re: Wow sky did not hold back about the game !!!!!
Well apparently Hendrick and Lennon, who didn't even play when we were doing so well during project restart, went ahead and left without being replaced (so the story goes, because I must have just imagined Dale Stephens coming in), and somehow losing those players who weren't actually playing at all when we were playing well means we're now worse, or summat. Or more likely, Dyche's mardarse routine for the last six months has affected the squad and they have zero confidence because of it.
Re: Wow sky did not hold back about the game !!!!!
Aside from the chance in the very first minute did Brighton actually have another genuine scoring opportunity all game, one where you felt they should have scored?

Let's be honest. It's dire. We are incapable of playing a forward pass without it being 50 feet in the air.

Re: Wow sky did not hold back about the game !!!!!
Failing to freshen up the squad.
Confidence is low.
Pressure is on ( it wasnt for the last few games last season as we were safe )
Ageing players.
Small squad.
Are the players and staff motivated enough to try and predirm another miracle?
The league has got stronger, where as we have got weaker.
We are not playing our best players.
Other than that, nothing much.

Dyche is definitley partly to blame, insisting on starting Barnes.

Big up our back4 for their defending but how embarrassing it was watching them try to launch it and Albion collecting it 30yds from our goalline.
We need to get back to hoofball, the halfway line at least.

Difficult to see where a goal's gonna come from.
We're so scared to go forward with any real purpose.

Re: Wow sky did not hold back about the game !!!!!
Sky got it right.
Once confidence comes back things will look different. A big well done to the defence tonight, keeping things tight until we get it right going forward

Sky are correct. We play better without Barnes.

Three goals in seven games, and a minimum of scoring attempts in ten and a half hours. In the same situation every other manager in the PL would start with a different front two except Sean. I can see Wood/Barnes starting v Palace

Not surprised,we are **** to watch.Same old every week,defend until other team scores,.ride our luck and hope for a set piece goal.Players all getting older and not being replaced.We are heading for relegation,and to be honest,that is where the board are taking us.Do they realise we are in the top division of English football which is the best in the world.

Re: Wow sky did not hold back about the game !!!!!
What?? He’s got the same as we had finishing last season. Who would have thought Hendrick was so important to our team - what was his average rating last season? After his performance over the last 6 months Dyche needs to accept a large portion of any blame.

Please please please play Rodriguez and Vydra up front
Or at least Vydra and Wood with Jay Rod on the right wing, we are f...ing boring to watch

For all the criticism we rightly receive for the game remember that Brighton weren't much better, and they had little to offer. They didn't seem too bothered about a win either.

Re: Wow sky did not hold back about the game !!!!!
Were you watching the same game?
Desperate defending and great goalkeeping got us a point.
They had all the ball and all the chances.
Re: Wow sky did not hold back about the game !!!!!
Surely this is Burnley just doing their bit in protesting against ppv. Two ppv games, two dull 0-0s.
Re: Wow sky did not hold back about the game !!!!!
I think Sean Dyche is going about things in the right way. It is accepted wisdom that when you are on a very poor run, as we are, the first thing you do is make the defence solid. When that is established, you start to focus more on the attack side in order to win games. We are now at that first stage and in that sense, last night's performance can be viewed as a successful step in the right direction.

I don't think it would be a surprise if a poll were taken of all Prem club supporters and it showed us to be the team that people least liked to watch
We are the Stoke City of years ago and Dyche is certainly Head Boy of the Pulis school

Re: Wow sky did not hold back about the game !!!!!
Late November and turn of the year last season we were awful.
Dyche insisted on playing a semi fit Barnes and we were terrible.
Eventually, we have to change it because Barnes can no longer walk let alone run and we go on a fantastic run and finish 10th with Jay, Wood and Vydra all in the goals.
As soon as Barnes is back semi fit, he’s straight back in, the goals dry up, our performances turn to shite and we drop like a stone again.
I just can’t understand the obsession with picking Barnes. The evidence to suggest we are better without him is fairly overwhelming.

Re: Wow sky did not hold back about the game !!!!!
We as a family said we wouldn’t watch the PPV games. However, last night we didn’t really want another hour or so of depressing news channels so decided to view. That was two hours of our lives we won’t get back. Only real plus points were the defence with Ben back and putting in a solid display and Nick had a good game in goal with two outstanding saves/blocks.
It was clear from the outset that the front two weren’t going to trouble Brighton and Dyche should have made changes earlier. We are pedestrian in the middle of the pitch, however if Jay and Vydra are playing up front together we have more options hitting these two with balls on the break. Yes we haven’t invested in the team this season apart from a poor looking Dale Stephens, however Dyche needs to play his limited hand of cards better. It is going to be a long hard crowd absent season.
