Many, many times under Dyche. Basically game management to run down the clock.

Ok, Sean.

Thank **** for that

Muric 10. Never has a keeper deserved a clean sheet more.

Superjohnnyfrancis · Post by **Superjohnnyfrancis** » Sat Mar 16, 2024 5:07 pm

Hope Muric is ok for next game what a masterclass in saves

Actually I don't remember very many because we just punted it clear and kept our shape more often than not.

Enjoyable, frustrating, and nervy all in one. But mostly enjoyable and that's what it's all about

Great win, really nervy towards the end, but such a relief. My fingernails may never grow back...

Muric my man of the match in a game we should have won comfortably

Feck the saves. The distribution is such a breath of fresh air. You can see the confidence it brings n the players' desire to make runs.

I don't think it's a clean sheet when the other side score...

Pleased for Muric, hope he's OK.
Is it the international break now?

We'd do it most of the time when we broke. Boyd did it a lot. Rarely the last kick of the game but every little helps at a 1 goal lead.

What a bloody relief that final whistle was today. Jesus.

Pretty sure he means Muric deserved to have one.

Pretty sure you know that too.

We were cruising for the majority of the second half, but the first substitution seemed to set us back.

Not blaming Amdouni for that, though - he took a yellow card for the team.

Of course, when he plays it pushes the other team back ten yards. Needs to play the rest of the games now

We can’t afford Amdouni in the team now too costly in possession

Delighted the clarets got the win.

Would tend to agree. The ball was at least sticking up top when Bruun Larsen was on.

Forever remember one game against I want to say City or Villa where he was pegging it to a loose ball in their third and his top speed looked like he was in slow motion. Loved Boyd but he wasn't exactly a dynamic counter attacker

Yes, I loved him too. Really important player for us at the time.

Great start to the weekend. Burnley win, Luton and Forest drop two points each. And I got both results and scores right in my predictions and one of them my NAP.

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Sat Mar 16, 2024 6:36 pm

Today is exactly how I expected our games in the PL to go with our style of play from last season - a bit turbulent, rode our 'luck' at times but kept going and kept fighting. Very pleased to see that we're still that side.

Why. So we can keep it for another half a second then lose it anyway?

When has this EVER worked for us? Tell me cos I'd really love to know.

Because they start 108m from our goal and how many goals do you see that start from there?
The reason that every club in the world, bar us, do it.

Has there ever been a set of supporters, however small, who wish one of their players to fail as much as this?

“Supporters” is an incorrect word for people who seem to get pleasure in maligning and criticising their own players.

“plural noun: supporters
1.
a person who approves of and encourages a public figure”

I don’t see or hear much encouragement from these people.
