Burnley vs Stoke - Matchday thread

[WazzaClaret]

Maybe we're spoilt but this is just sooo boring.

[Casper2]

Pathetic

[CoolClaret]

All these 0-0’s will cost us automatic.

They could do yeah - we need another plan at home... too many aren't up to it.

[JimmyRobbo]

It was there!

This is what happens when you actually attack teams.

Have I said it a million times? With an attacker to aim at, this Stoke side are woeful at the back. They were there for the taking.

The idiot being sent off actually improved our performance when we were forced to work for it.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

If they played the whole ninety minutes like the last three they would be fine

[tally]

barstwards equalize

[Taffy on the wing]

Bastards equalize!

[Gp8419]

What a load of bloody rubbish!

[xxmunkyennuixx]

About the only positive was Fozzy looked sharp.

[Guller Bull]

Yeah that was dull - sorry for you guys that have paid to watch that.

[scamander]

Hannibal may be young but he came to us with a reputation as a loose cannon - it's possibly the reason he hasn't settled elsewhere. He may well end up as one of those players who had the talent but not the attitude which is needed at the top level.

[TPClaret]

Played better with 10. Got to start with Foster. Miles better than Jay Rod.

[ClaretFelix]

Stoke have deserved 3 points here...good away performance against a very poor home side

No they weren't. They were terrible and our drop off in standards can be clearly attributed to all the changes made.

[Tricky Trevor]

Utter garbage. We don’t have one forward player on the books better than mid-table Championship. If we go up we can’t afford to replace enough of them so we will be relegated again.

[Safron]

I'm sorry sp has all the tools he needs at his disposal other managers can only dream of, tactics again at home as cost us

[TPClaret]

About the only positive was Fozzy looked sharp.

His movement is far better than Jay

[burnley007]

Great football again.

A really entertaining performance.

[rosswallacefreekick]

The only positive I can see today is that we looked like we might score when Foster and Humphries came on. Stoke are 19th and managed to get a point away from home to us, currently in 2nd. We should have given them an absolute hiding.

End of a long run of games: onwards and upwards.

[JimmyRobbo]

We’ve massively got out of jail today.

They’ve been miles better than us.

That isn't true.

Disappointing to say the least but Stoke didn't deserve to win.

[Gp8419]

Shows how ******* crap we are Sheffield Wednesday are smashing 4 against derby at home we didn’t look like scoring

[PensansClaret]

Foster has got to start. Jay has had his day.

[JimmyRobbo]

Great football again.

A really entertaining performance.

Yes, the equalser in the 100th minute will have picked you up.

[warksclaret]

We got what we deserved today and it started by playing with Jay and Pires and keeping Foster on the bench with Fleming

[willsclarets]

Great football again.

A really entertaining performance.

Welcome back

[jojomk1]

Another well earned point when down to 10 men
Another clean sheet
Another tactical masterclass from our astute manager

[Stonehouse]

A Picked the wrong team ,as I said early on leaving Laurant out left Brownhill playing too deep
B Sarmiento did nothing
C Koleosho’s doing nothing
D Jay doing nothing
E A couple of free kicks just outside the box after Flemming came on and he never took them.

[Pickles]

Stoke were bang average ordinary.

Two points dropped today. Just simply didn't do even close enough to win that today. Slow. Final pass/shot/cross is quite frankly abysmal too often.

[bfcjg]

Yet again leave it late to attack.

[Colburn_Claret]

Just rubbish
We could have played brilliantly and finished 0-0 , and I would have been happy, but yet another game where we don't test the keeper isn't acceptable. As much as SP deserves a lot of credit for where we are at, he has to take the blame for not resolving this recurring failure.

It was forecast to be yet another 0-0 before kick off, because of our line up. Why can't he see it.

[RVclaret]

We’ve struggled every time we’ve rotated players. Appreciate the schedule is hectic and we are off the back of two tough away games over Christmas, and as such rotation is fairly important, but it’s still not good enough.

[Stonehouse]

Great football again.

A really entertaining performance.

Sarky

[TheOriginalLongsider]

On the Vote for your man of the match, can we have “none of the above” as a choice?

[Commy]

If we had any form of attacking play we would be walking away with this league. Our dropped points are against the worse teams at home. We will struggle next week against Rovers as well as they can defend.

[willsclarets]

It is frustrating to see the lineup at home knowing we need much more up top to take the game to poor opposition.

[boatshed bill]

We’ve struggled every time we’ve rotated players. Appreciate the schedule is hectic and we are off the back of two tough away games over Christmas, and as such rotation is fairly important, but it’s still not good enough.

Perhaps there would be a case for half the number of changes twice as often.

[FCBurnley]

Some managers just don’t learn

[TheOriginalLongsider]

There was a match today up in Burnley,
Where the football went sour quite early.
Hannibal saw red,
The fans shook their head,
And they trudged off defeated and surly.

[ElectroClaret]

Hannibal is young. He will learn.

Barely made contact with the guy

[mkmel]

I'm not blaming the player himself but how many touches of the ball did Flemming have in the 40 minutes or so that he was on the pitch?

And Josh Brownlow was hardly involved in the game either

[Hedontplayforyou]

Flemming who still played as the 9 even when Foster came on with 11 men. Baffling

[Ampth7]

I’m sorry, but we could easily have lost that today and our home form against the lower sides is awful!
No shots on target today is just not good enough and why Parker can’t/won’t change the way we play against these teams is mental!
As for Hannibal, what a brainless tool!

[Blyclaret]

Great football again.

A really entertaining performance.

Guess who is back. Not a word when we win. Then when we play poorly this weed appears

[123EasyasBFC]

Only time we looked dangerous was Trafford lumping up to Flemming and Laurent in last 10 minutes.

Pires is top 5 worse players I’ve seen play for Burnley

[RVclaret]

Only time we looked dangerous was Trafford lumping up to Flemming and Laurent in last 10 minutes.

Pires is top 5 worse players I’ve seen play for Burnley

Not sure I’d go quite that far on Pires but yeah he’s not good and we look worse every time he’s in the team.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

On the Vote for your man of the match, can we have “none of the above” as a choice?

Why? CJ and Esteve did their jobs well

[123EasyasBFC]

Not sure I’d go quite that far on Pires but yeah he’s not good and we look worse every time he’s in the team.

He doesn’t bring anything to the game other than a mistake, the fact esteve has to play next to him makes his season even better

[jojomk1]

Not sure I’d go quite that far on Pires but yeah he’s not good and we look worse every time he’s in the team.

And you could say the same about Koleosho at the moment

Both rightly hooked but it could/should have been a lot sooner

[expoultryboy]

I can understand why he plays with 2 holding midfielders against the top sides , but Stoke !! Play a number 9 and 10 in a 4 - 1 - 3 - 2 and get at em .

[cockneyclaret]

Pires is top 5 worse players I’ve seen play for Burnley

Hahaha bit of a statement

[Newcastleclaret93]

Only time we looked dangerous was Trafford lumping up to Flemming and Laurent in last 10 minutes.

Pires is top 5 worse players I’ve seen play for Burnley

Koleosho is pushing him close this season.

He was abysmal today
