Luton v Burnley Match Thread

[Buxtonclaret]

It was a superb through ball.

[Goalposts]

Piers looks some player

[HahaYeah]

What a start!

Brilliant pass from Pirez, great goal from Brownhill.

[burnleymik]

What a lovely start! I wouldn't have put Browny on being out first goalscorer! He took it superbly. Great ball by Pires.

[Cazaris]

Cracking assist from Pires!

[Commy]

Pirez screaming for the ball and they are ignoring him lol.

[Newcastleclaret93]

How much more balanced do we look today than last season.

Buzzing so far

[wilks_bfc]

What a ball that was from Pires. Split the defenders

[ClaretPete001]

Outstanding ball from Pires - Brownhill 1-0.

Great pressing Odobert and Kolosheo look class.

Great start

[claretskeith]

We've not even got going yet

[BigGaz]

Piers
Pires
Pirez

From you lot already

Is he the new Hendricks?

[Stonehouse]

STOP BOOING TRAFFORD!

Are our numpties booing him or the Luton fans?

[CoolClaret]

Aggressive press by Pires earlier when he was in quick on a tackle and what an exquisite ball through to Josh.

He looks a real talent at left back. Tenacious and skilful #SambaClarets

[IanMcL]

Corner them....dodgy for us!

[wilks_bfc]

Are our numpties booing him or the Luton fans?

I thought it was the Luton fans doing it tbh

[IanMcL]

We were not very organised there!

[Commy]

Trafford did well there.

[Burnleyareback2]

Booing Trafford- I wasn’t his biggest fan last season but this is disgraceful and embarrassing.

[IanMcL]

Surely it is not us booing him?

[Stonehouse]

Booing Trafford- I wasn’t his biggest fan last season but this is disgraceful and embarrassing.

It’s the home fans.

[claretskeith]

Come on we should go for a second.

[GetIntoEm]

It is

[Commy]

Luton have surprised me. I expected them to start fast, pumping balls up to the front.

[IanMcL]

Trafford kicking much the same!

[Mark the Claret]

It’s the home fans.

I think it is too, don't know why they would though.

[Taffy on the wing]

Koleosho looks bigger than i remember.

[aggi]

See that we've got a defender to protect the keeper on set pieces this season. Will probably make quite a difference

[Commy]

Might be because he wanted a free kick when they equalised.

[Conroy92]

Does Foster look a little unfit or has he over bulked?

[Burnleyareback2]

It’s the home fans.

Thanks, I will stand down now!

UTC!

[claretskeith]

Sky doing what they do best - showing random people and completely missing the football.

[Claret-in-cleveleys]

Great goal, great start. However booing you're own player, who's your last line of defence and only 21 yr is sad and absolutely moronic. It almost as if fans actually believe he was the sole reason we were relegated and nothing to do with the naive, inept, stuborn tactics the manager employed...

[Newcastleclaret93]

Esteve did really well there.

Pires looks very very good going forward but a little suspect defensively

If I’m honest I don’t mind that in this league tbh. He’s very exciting to watch

I agree 100% but we aren’t the ones booing him

[ElectroClaret]

Like the look of Pires a lot.

[IanMcL]

Corner them again. Fingers crossed

[BobSykes]

Great that we've scored but it looks quite familiar overall to me. Perhaps not surprising given how little SP has been able to change things and how little time he's had.

It's not another Huddersfield. Not yet anyway.

[CoolClaret]

He's been really aggressive in the tackle and with his pressing. He's quick as well and closes space quickly.

Honestly can't see why so many have been negative. Look at how Esteve mugged Ogbhene off there. Our CBs are way too good for attack forces in this division.

[BurnleyFC]

Good goal but a fairly tetchy start from us.

[Commy]

It's not another Huddersfield. Not yet anyway.

We are playing a better team than Huddersfield.

[Cazaris]

It really does seem like it's our fans booing him, it's quieter than the roars the Luton fans are putting out and it makes zero sense that they would boo our keeper. If he was a former Luton player I'd understand it, but he isn't.

Also, it sounded suspiciously like "Fluuuuke!" when Trafford made a save earlier...

Not sure what there’s to negative about.

This is arguably one of the hardest fixtures we will have all season and we have been excellent.

I agree from what I have seen in this short spell I think he’s going to be a fan favourite this season

[burnleymik]

Pires just struggling a bit defensively. Esteve covering him well.

[Claret-in-cleveleys]

I agree 100% but we aren’t the ones booing him

Really hope your right mate, but not convinced...not sure why luton fans would single him out? There's been a lot aimed at Trafford on social media by some fans since he was dropped which has been way over the top and completely lacking in perspective.

[Carport]

Do we know for sure it’s Burnley fans booing and not Luton ?

[BobSykes]

Surely Luton fans know Trafford is our weakest link and perhaps their best chance of a goal so they are unsettling him? That's what I've thought from minute 1 but I may be wrong.

[ClaretPete001]

I can be negative: Robert's tache...!

[CoolClaret]

Not you there I mean other posters/fans.

Some predicted a midtable finish and that we'd get battered tonight. Daft and unnecessarily negative.

[IanMcL]

Two very loose passes from Vitinho.

[Colburn_Claret]

If we keep giving the ball away this cheaply, we are going to get punished.
No need to overplay it.
