Great time to score

That’s a fantastic finish from Maatsen.

Was worried if we’d pick it back up but my word, have we been on it

Like we’ve never been away! I had the same concern, sometimes a break isn’t what you need. Seems like for us it’s affected nothing and given us two more options in Darko and Twine. Perfect.

A really accomplished first half performance (albeit helped by the ref) - we look the real deal.

A second goal for the clarets now would be welcome

Merry Christmas

Yep and today without our two most creative players (before the break) in Zaroury and Benson. Fantastic stuff.

Its no wonder we are selling out games with this kind of Football on display ... My late Bro would've loved this

And we’re now the top goal scorers across all four divisions.

H/T bacon butties from Heaven today.

Totally agree & would’ve said the same without the second.

Very encouraging.

Think Tella has looked rusty. Wouldn’t mind seeing Churlinov for him.

To keep it down there is absolute class.

Terrific first half. Easy to be a bit of it after the long break. Theres been a few sloppy passes but overall we've been straight back in the groove.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Dec 11, 2022 1:54 pm

Really good performance, playing very good stuff here.

claretandy · Post by **claretandy** » Sun Dec 11, 2022 1:54 pm

2-0 up and Jay Rod has had the least touches on the pitch, just wait until Benson, Twine Churlinov come on !

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sun Dec 11, 2022 1:54 pm

Top quality stuff. Jay hardly in the game and we are still 2 up. Cork and Cullen are magnificent.

Mixed half from Tella. Not sure he’s ever really suited a role hugging the touchline. For me he’s more a dynamic inside forward/second striker.

Most complete half of the season and there’s been some good ones. Some of the passing has been absolutely top class.

And if avoiding a foul causes you to fall over then surely it’s a free kick.

Thankfully, not routinely the case because it would be chaos and we'd see even more diving (and attempted justification for it) in the game.

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Sun Dec 11, 2022 2:00 pm

Why have I started to get this feeling of invulnerability ? Confidence flowing throughout
the whole club at the moment.

What time do QPR start ?

morpheus2 · Post by **morpheus2** » Sun Dec 11, 2022 2:00 pm

After 8 years of falling out of love with the game, it getting old and ugly, stale and more boring by the week - me and football are back on! And she's beautiful again!!

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Sun Dec 11, 2022 2:00 pm

Grab another (or 2) in the first 15mins of the second and will give Twine a good run out with no pressure on him

Watching the half time analysis… defo penalty my ar5e. Player played for “contact” and didn’t “win” the pen and didn’t get it.

Best 45 mins by a Burnley midfielder for a very long time by Jack Cork today

But still everyone - including me to be a - would like us to either get Wout back or sign another striker in January

taio · Post by **taio** » Sun Dec 11, 2022 2:05 pm

The good thing above our performances and upward curve is that other sides are going to increasingly fear and try to contain us.

I was lucky my Bro became a Burnley fan after coming to games (usually over the Xmas period) down the years, and when he moved back after retiring he got a Season tkt...

Does he really think that wasting half a second is gonna be worth it when the risk is that great?!?!?!

Sky commentary team talking about QPR having two anchors in the team ... I thought how rude calling them two wanchors then realised what they said

QPR playing a lot better (guess they had to) so far this half

Made me laugh in the first half when they mentioned QPR were a key player down because he’s away at the World Cup… guess Zaroury doesn’t exist then…

The commentary has been poor today, more than normal

Defo yellow, could have been red but probably harsh

If that'd been more visible (from the side instead of behind) he'd have gone

What else would you expect from a commentary team of Lee Hendrie and former QPR player Jamie Mackie
