Ben Mee looking back to his best and Sam has them rattled. COYC

Zero shots on goal according to BBC

Should be 3 up. Could be costly. Hope not!

Here's Madge to her us up for 2nd half.

The Beeb is probably covering the wrong game.
Are Barnsley playing some sort of Yarky cup match?

Half time talk... "Minimum requirements is maximum effort" (as per tv advert) and to be fair I think that's what we are seeing from the lads.

Playing well but needed a goal , now more of the same after HT makes you wonder what Jose thinks in the stands at the Turf ?
Still can win this but we are leaving us open at the back , hey you have to roll the dice in a game like this .

COYC!

Keep the updates coming, couldn't get the time off work for this one and can't view streams at work.

Seems a generally positive vibe about the way we played that first half, hope we can keep it up and make it pay 2nd half!

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Thu Aug 30, 2018 8:39 pm

McNeil has shown some good touches and passes.

ClaretAndJew · Post by **ClaretAndJew** » Thu Aug 30, 2018 8:39 pm

We haven't had a shot on target it's not BBC bias it's just a fact.

KateR · Post by **KateR** » Thu Aug 30, 2018 8:39 pm

Playing well and as everyone says should be level or in front.

My worry is will they play the second half as bad as that; they also had a couple of chances. I think we stopped them play but surely there manager has to change something; he can’t expect us to keep missing surely

Are they wrong? 2 Vokes headers over, Ash wide at the death and Hendrick chance. Don't think he's made a save.

criminalclaret · Post by **criminalclaret** » Thu Aug 30, 2018 8:40 pm

Stick or twist on Vokes? I'm saying Wood on, I think Sam's wound up, he may be more desperate to score but might not be thinking straight after those misses. He'll want to try and settle things but that might come at the chance of overlooking a golden opportunity for someone else. Frustration gets the better of us.

Great shape and fluidity, a solid half and some fantastic promise from McNeil and Taylor.... Hendrick bhas his best game for a long time.

Come on Burnley!!!

Should McNeil start Sunday on the viewing so far?

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Thu Aug 30, 2018 8:41 pm

They're quite right. No shots on goal, but some very near.

Longsider · Post by **Longsider** » Thu Aug 30, 2018 8:41 pm

Have they brought any fans. What's the Atmosphere like.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Thu Aug 30, 2018 8:42 pm

best 45 mins since April

Nonayforever · Post by **Nonayforever** » Thu Aug 30, 2018 8:43 pm

I hope this team starts against Man utd.

Jose will be sacked if we play like this.

100%, MUCH better delivery than Taylor - big game against Utd up against Valencia etc so could be a baptism of fire but I'd throw him in given our lack of options

Vokes and Barnes have to start in a 2 given how shaky the UTD defence are - we'll get 4-5-1 with Wood up top on his own though

Sounds good on TV.
Not full, but getting behind the team.

They've not brought many. 300 limp Spartans.

Hendrick’s blocked shot was on target

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Thu Aug 30, 2018 8:47 pm

Everything but the final product,if we can score in the first 15-20 minutes of the 2nd half,we'll see how their nerve holds,this McNeil kid needs to be given more opportunities to shine,yes he's been caught in possession a couple of times but he tries to make things happen.

Belgianclaret · Post by **Belgianclaret** » Thu Aug 30, 2018 8:48 pm

Sam should have buried these two chances.

Watch out for the first ten minutes in the second half lads !

Barnes carded a yellow for 'speaking out of turn'

top shot from McNeil - more than taken his chance tonight - has to start

53 mins
GREAT SAVE!

Burnley 0-0 Olympiakos (agg 1-3)

Unbelievable strike from Dwight McNeil!

He lets rip from distance and connects with the ball perfectly. It's flying towards goal but Andreas Gianniotis dives high to tip it over the cross bar.

What a moment that would have been for the 18-year-old...

icu81b4 · Post by **icu81b4** » Thu Aug 30, 2018 8:58 pm

You have to credit their defence along with our misfortunes

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Thu Aug 30, 2018 9:00 pm

Word for the day: composure

We're doing so well, but right at the critical moment we're pooing our panties. One goal in the next 10 and this is ours
