Burnley v Cardiff

[Newcastleclaret93]

Strange half.

Glad we are winning. But we just can’t seem to get foothold in midfield.

Although Jay was great for the goal I think I would sacrifice him to give us some more legs in the middle

[claretskeith]

xG 0.24, ouch. Cardiff better in every department really other than goals.

I hope this is more a case of Cardiff being one of the contenders this season.

[KRBFC]

What an awful watch that first half was

Jay looks about 50 year old

[GetIntoEm]

Bloody moaning at 2-0 up. Some people need to give their head a wobble. I seriously worry that they have something wrong with them

[xxmunkyennuixx]

Ref chronic here.

[Woody9229]

Scrappy and disjointed 1st half. Not complaining about the scoreline obvs but we need to improve. 1 shot on target tells you everything. Cardiff can consider themselves very unlucky and actually look a decent outfit who have their tactics pretty much spot on.

[Clive 1960]

winning when not playing well Is a sign of a good team..

Fair enough but 2-0 is what counts. It is the second game of the season.

I wouldn’t say awful. We just struggled to get a foothold. But thankfully our quality showed when required.

[burnleymik]

2-0. Took a while to get going, but looked good towards the end of that half. Keep that up second half and bag another couple!

Agreed

Not seeing much moaning just observations about what is going on. Cardiff much the better side. Not our best 45 minutes. Just the facts. Very happy with the scoreline obviously.

We’ve not been great granted but it’s still better than most of the games last season the way we played under VK

[Mattster]

This is the kind of attritional, Southgate-esque, football I feared under Parker. I hope the Luton game is the template and this is just the off day. Hopefully some words and tweaks at half time get a performance to match this scoreline

[claretskeith]

Fair enough but 2-0 is what counts. It is the second game of the season.

Absolutely, and I agree. We play better against teams who don't press as much. Leeds will be a tough game, as they're very good at it. Now if Cardiff do tire in the second half, ironically, we could score a few more. Amazed Cardiff didn't bag 1-2 goals though.

[FCBurnley]

Polar opposite to Luton game. We are winning but need to improve vastly. Only plus is the score

[burnley007]

Listening to Clarets + comms

The woman co-commentator is hopeless. I'm assuming this is her 1st football match. She makes Waddle seem knowledgeable!

Leeds were dreadful again today. I don't fear them at all. Sheff Utd are the danger, again.

[Slurpy]

Would like to see Amdouni for JayRod at some point

Who is she?
Obviously something to do with the womens side.

[FCBurnley]

What happened to our pressing game ?

[KRBFC]

We’ve not been great granted but it’s still better than most of the games last season the way we played under VK

I mean you’re comparing PL games to Championship ones.

[NickBFC]

You can't play well every game. Early season always takes time for a team to really gell. 2 up at HT playing poorly - surely take that.

[burnley007]

Who is she?

No idea, but she's not interested at all in the game.

[KRBFC]

I wouldn’t say awful. We just struggled to get a foothold. But thankfully our quality showed when required.

Awful watch, effective boring football I guess.

[Dark Cloud]

The better side losing 2-0, but we'll take that! Having said that they haven't had a shot on goal (maybe one?) apart from the offside effort I don't think, so hopefully we'll get better and they'll tire!

[Guller Bull]

Cardiff look a decent side.

[RVclaret]

We’ve got a rather large size Odobert hole it seems.

[GetIntoEm]

Parker out!

[claretskeith]

We’ve got a rather large size Odobert hole it seems.

Very much so.

[addisclaret]

Doesn't feel like a top v bottom tie but that's how it stands at the moment

[Greekclaret]

People are quick to forget in our ‘amazing’ campaign the last time in the championship we were actually very slow to get going. Far better this year round. Sure some fans expect 46 5-0 wins

[burnley007]

Has Vitinho touched the ball?

Give Cardiff credit, Prem quality diving.

Yes and all the comments calling it how it is , which isn’t allowed on here

[burnleymik]

Browny!!!

[Commy]

This is like watching rugby with players grabbing each other.

[JimmyRobbo]

2 long throws infield. Neither any good.

[claretskeith]

Now THAT was a SUPERB finish!!!

[Kgun5]

Think we're good for that lead now.

[JimmyRobbo]

Brilliant Browny. Missed the assist, was it Vitinho?

[claretskeith]

Great pass by Vitinho there.

[criminalclaret]

Job done and only start of second half.

Bloody hate this "Parker football".....

[Buxtonclaret]

[JimmyRobbo]

Jimmy Dunne pulled one back for QPR v Sheff U.

[jojomk1]

Chance to get some subs on for a run out

[Claretnick]

Good lad Josh

[RVclaret]

Great goal that.

[ecc]

Two games, two goals. Captain showing the way.

Should see one or two changes.
