It hasn't been pretty at times but he has galvanised probably the most 'together' team Burnley has ever seen. Massive, massive credit.

Watford 2 wins in 6
QPR 1 win in 6

Gotta get it done against these two as Millwall look spicy with 4 wins in 6.

Millwall beating Boro sadly

Would be nice to have both Watford & Millwall on the beach.

me01jh

However 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat for guaranteed promotion seems well within us.

me01jh

That Sheff Utd score would have just given our lads a massive unexpected boost, there will be a determination there to get it done in the next two games by winning both - title to try and win after that. Agreed but being forever the realist, if we draw away at Watford (which is likely, let's be hon...

Some of you lot are absolutely terrible at maths. :lol: :lol: We are 5 points clear not 6. If we win at Watford and draw with Sheff Utd and they match our Watford result then we will still be 5 ahead with 6 points available. Lose our last two matches and Sheff Utd win both then they go up. Lots and ...

You've got to give Norwich credit, haven't seen Burnley so troubled with the ball in-behind since Sunderland at home. Was a very nervy watch but we found a way to win and its a huge three points.

me01jh

All I had was this board to keep me updated this evening. Hell of a nervy read.

Great result, enjoy the ride!

me01jh

I'm surprised by Leeds' mentality. They've allowed Sheff U to get right in their faces and dominate the ref. Can't see our boys allowing this.

me01jh

We want a Leeds win IMO, their offensive structure and ball retention is similar to us under VK. They also have that sprinkle of magic dust in Solomon and goal threats all over the park. You can see how they have been putting teams to the sword. Other than tempo and bully boy tactics, I'm not seeing...

Surprised there’s been no mention of Ethan Ampadu missing out for Leeds with a knee injury that needs further assessment.

A sustained period out of the side for him would be massive. His leadership is missing a lot tonight already.

That's a really good point, he's a massive miss for Leeds.

me01jh

Leeds getting bullied. Classic Wilder, be interesting to see if they can keep this tempo up.

Serious togetherness in this team
photo credit: Turfcast

What a fabulous photo that is. I know a fair chunk of the football has been pedestrian but we do have some great characters in this team.

me01jh

So pleased for him.

To have the technical ability at our disposal of Edwards, Benson, Cullen, Anthony, Sarmiento & Hannibal is scary! Got to make it count.

me01jh

Leeds kept the ball so much better than Sunderland and it showed. Sunderland were spent with 25 minutes to go. Leeds get their full backs so much higher up the pitch and use Tanarka as that central pivot. In contrast, I cannot remember Roberts getting into the final third on Saturday. In Cullen, we ...

me01jh

Leeds play how we should. They commit far more bodies forwards and really pin teams in. They deserved that result and will comfortably be Champions IMO.

Sunderland starting to look tired.

They looked tired about 25 minutes ago. They've been battered this half without Leeds creating much.

I think Sunderland are the weakest of all 4 teams with the football despite having decent attacking threat.

me01jh

Deserved really. Sunderland been in full low block mode, barely got out of their own half.

Why is Isador booked there and not O’Nien or Rodon?

Absolute head scratcher... O'nien loves a bit of ****housery and Rodon appeared to be just as aggressive.

me01jh

I think Parker should have been braver with his substitutions today, by taking Hannibal off we lost that ability to play through midfield and we really struggled to get Edwards in the game as a result. Although Laurent is very effective in what he does, his link up play isn't his strong point, so I'...

I wouldn't have taken hannibal off was showing great energy

Agreed. I would have taken Laurent off.

me01jh

This does have a similar feel to previous nil nils, whereby it's very tight but we still create the best chance of the game. Substitutions will be absolutely critical on this cabbage patch.

me01jh

Preston set up very well... staying high on Cullen. Not clicking for Burnley in the final third, wasteful in good areas.

me01jh

Don't panic everyone, we've still got JonJo Shelvey's pass to cling on to.

It was, but it gave me hope that the days of nil nil at home are gone.

If he starts with Hannibal then we will undoubtedly have two loony bins in midfield... wouldn't have either of them as Parker type players.

me01jh

It was one pass, let's all chill out a little shall we.

Trafford 7 - Nothing to do. Roberts 7 - Caused them problems by tucking into midfield in the first half but would love to see him play higher and get beyond Anthony occasionally. Egan-Riley 7 - Solid, attempted to come out with the ball a couple of times to moderate success, range of passing is sens...

me01jh

Agree with the majority of what you say. Game begging for Shelvey on for Laurent after 55 minutes, and Edwards for Anthony at around 75 minutes Yep, think you've made a lot of sense this evening warksclaret. Laurent isn't going to hurt teams with the football and when Roberts pushes into midfield w...

me01jh

Hannibal, Cullen and Anthony have been very impressive. We just lack that final piece of composure... game should have been done and dusted, we've battered them.

me01jh

The big question for me is will we see changes early enough if plan A isn't working....SP sitting on his hands 75 minutes into a stalemate suggests 0-0 is perfectly acceptable to him. Hence I'm giving tonight a miss....first time in decades that I've been in Lancs and not been arsed about going on....

me01jh

A lot of votes for Shelvey... he's only played 6 times this year! He was good ten years ago mind.

me01jh

Trafford Roberts CJ Esteves Humphries Cullen Laurent Anthony Brownhill Foster Fleming And another 0-0 I've seen quite a bit of Oxford under GR... they have loads of pace in Placheta and Dembele so I cannot see Parker being too radical in his changes. He will not allow any space between the lines fo...

If the season ended now, the two play-offs would be Sunderland v Middlesbrough and Burnley v Blackburn.

Please don't, have had nightmares about Flemming & Brownhill's celebrations coming back to haunt us.

How on earth are Sunderland winning this!

Boro should be 3 up... created more in 30 minutes than we have in 300... sorry, couldn't help myself.

Hopefully this tippy tappy shite from the back is banished now

I'm with you on this one.

Sick of watching top tier games that resemble a training session. The change to the goal kick rule has only served to aide sideways, backwards keepball.

me01jh

Do you think the draw against Leeds was worse than the infamous 0-0 at home to Luton in the SC era?

Really tough call... the chip packet blowing across the pitch made the Luton game marginally more entertaining for me.

Hedge that with a 1-0 win for Oxford and you'll have a great day regardless.

Lets all remind ourselves of 2002 to cheer us up shall we: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002%E2%80%9303_Burnley_F.C._season Imagine conceding 6 to Grimsby, 6 to Rotherham, 4 to Gillingham, 5 to Reading, 7 to Watford and 7 to Sheffield Wednesday all in the same season... with four of those at home. ...

Oxford are unbeaten since GR went in, they are well organised and will be very hard to break down. If there was ever a tie that had nil nil written all over it then it is this one.

Thought we were playing some of our best football with Hannibal off the left drifting in. Trafford Roberts Egan-Riley Esteve Humphreys Anthony Cullen Brownhill Hannibal Foster Flemming That’s what I’d like to see. Yep, I think we need to let Cullen do the pivot role solo and play Brownhill & Flemmi...

me01jh

We looked confused as to what style we are playing today. We seem to be hoofing it quite regularly to nobody but also trying to play out and losing it that way too easily. Partly because Laurent isn't available so it's easy to swarm around Cullen and force the play back. We also need a left back. H...

At what point does Parker realise that Laurent is nowhere near technically good enough to be starting in central.midfield for a team wanting to win the league. He constantly hides from the ball and when he does receive the ball under pressure I suddenly realise why he hides in the first place. I'd ...

I might be wrong but I don't see Pires and Foster working on our left

I like Pires' starting position, he tends to play higher than Humphries but my god he's a liability... loves a blind pass infield to nobody.

me01jh

Yep, Bob Lord stand... first ever football match attended. Some introduction.

me01jh

I think Rodon has shown what we miss from our two centre backs at times, he's stepping out nicely and creating overloads down our left. In contrast our defensive build up play is sideways and backwards or a chippy diagonal from Esteve that is too easy to defend against. Need to move the ball quicker...
