Shrewsbury v Burnley Match Thread

[Paul Waine]

Seriously baffling that we can record 85% possession but those stats for end product. I genuinely don't get how you have that much play but are behind in the final third.
We desperately need a striker and a player with a bit of urgency & directness.

Playing against a 10 man defence.

[Tribesmen]

Early days only HT , now score one we will score more ( there's a football chant there somewhere )

[HahaYeah]

Tella on for JBG.

Honestly don’t think a striker makes a jot of difference to those stats. It’s about the midfield taking risks, making runs, getting in behind, etc.

Regularly saw us with very credible chances/shots stats with low possession under Dyche.

We need to find a way to be more effective with the possession.

100% it’s an Ohare type player we need

[Boss Hogg]

85% possession
0 shots on target
1 corner

= crab sideways football

This pretty much. Sideways backwards and slow not sure what we are waiting for. Barnes May as well not be on pitch.

[NRC]

Sensible management that

[NewClaret]

100% it’s an Ohare type player we need

Type, yes.

Not him now though.

[Guller Bull]

I got a feeling!

It’s not going to be one of them nights t.

Two or three goals to come for the Clarets in the second half!

[CrosspoolClarets]

Club Twitter account at half time suggesting three of our players tested the keeper.

Unless they sat him down and gave him a maths exam, I think we all know they didn’t test him. 0 shots on target.

Really really hope that is just an error and not deliberate fake news.

[warksclaret]

Hopefully even the Barnes staunch loyalists must appreciate he has come to the end of the road. Cant do it in the PL, the Championship and now League 1

[HahaYeah]

It could be that Barnes hasn't had any service. Just Saying.

[warksclaret]

Cornet was getting much service but scored 9

[HunterST_BFC]

Clarets player..............

Good stuff

Bastien likes a goal at Shrewsbury

[Murger]

At 80%+ possession and no shots on target, we just look like we're trying to walk it in.

[warksclaret]

Did he not score in the friendly too

[HahaYeah]

Gudmumdsson off Tella on is Johan injured again?

Was no mention of any injury.

[HahaYeah]

Did he not score in the friendly too

Aye he did.

Disagree. I think a striker in this system is key. It’s no coincidence we looked a lot better with Jay Rod leading the line.

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Sky just showed the goal looked a good move

[Colburn_Claret]

No stream here, but just going off the stats, it appears we are making the Arsenal mistake of trying to walk the ball into the net.
Teams are going to sit back against us, so we need to start shooting from distance, and make sure they're on target. I don't care if the keeper saves it, so long as we work him. There's always the chance that he eventually spills one and we pick up the pieces.

[spt_claret]

Get in! That's more like it.
Stand by my view that Bastien will be good for us even if I don't think he's a LAM. Glad he's got his first goal.

[claretburns]

Bastien deflected Goal

No deflection, just showed the goal on SSN, poor from Shrewsbury defence and keeper should have saved.

[warksclaret]

Lets get this right JBG is injured ???

[Jellybean]

Surely with JBG they'll be easing him back in, he must be due a bit of luck and injury free run!

BBC: Goal! Shrewsbury Town 0, Burnley 1. Samuel Bastien (Burnley) right footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom right corner. Assisted by Benson Manuel.

Are BBC mixed up with Manuel Benson's name? Or, is this me?

[dermotdermot]

I managed to get Radio Lancs on my phone but it seems to be about two hours out of sinc.

Churlinov like a Chris Eagles type - Boden

Moves more like Glen Little, to me.

[Guller Bull]

Ooh that’s exciting then! Loved Chris Eagles.

[mdd2]

1949
Of course but think it was 1988 when us started

[HahaYeah]

Would prefer Glen but Eagles will do!
