Sublime.

The 2nd one he's probably expected to put away but the 1st goal, for a big man, was a thing of beauty. I love vokesy.

Both quality and show that actually if we serve him decent balls he is going to score more then Andre again this season.

Chuckypad If this going to be your contribution for the season I'm already tired of it.

"Vokes isn't good enough for the Premier League"
"What will we do without Gray"
"He's a Championship striker we need to do better"

"Cool story"



Most underrated striker in the division. He was our top scorer last season in less gametime than Gray for a reason. Keep on plugging away Vokesy.

I can't think of a superlative to describe my feelings about Sam Vokes at this precise moment.

I think that he's learnt how to put himself about a bit more from Barnesy, towards the end of last season he started being a bit less of the nice guy and it's paying dividends!!

He's a bloody good player. Vastly underrated by non-Burnley fans. Hoping we can bring a different kind of striker in to make him even better.

That Defour cross was an absolute beauty, I don't think we put enough crosses into the box last year for him to attack.

We still need at least another striker. One or two injuries and things would quickly look very different. Strikers also go through lean patches and that will no doubt happen.

As the Chelsea fans said on the way out. Big, strong, holds the ball up superbly and scores goals. Not a bad combination at this level.

Always said he's has a real finesse about his play for a big bloke.

Brilliant display yesterday from the big man could have had an hatrick too with the rightly disallowed goal
And when he ghosted in at the back post second half very unlucky not to get full connection on it
That says a lot about the man two score against a team as great as Chelsea how meany more strikers will bag a brace at the Bridge this season not meany
We need to keep strum now though theirs still a couple of weeks left in this window
And the big clubs will be sniffling about on this form

Probably as hot as anybody right now! Last few games of last season and yesterday.So underrated if he keeps fit I think he could get at least to 15 goals.I love the look of our line up yesterday,I think we was at our best with the same system last year aswell

FFS it's still on the 1st page.

Repeat threads, in my opinion, are more annoying than ablueclaret ever has been and he is banned for a month.

Sam Vokes is a quality player. Irreplaceable. He's found his home at Burnley and long may that continue.
