SUPER CLARETS vs THE OWLS - Match Thread

Tactically abysmal. I just can’t see how it’s the players, rather than how they’ve been set up. How can we have this set of players perform so badly?

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 8:43 pm

There simply has to be changes at half time. Tactically and personnel. Absolutely miles off it.

You almost want the opposition to score then we have to attack.

Graham Branch was a world beater in training. How many games has Laurent won MOM ?

Valid point. I admit my ignorance!

Great goal, we are robbing Wednesday blind here at the moment. Let’s hope we kick on from here.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 8:46 pm

not sure how we managed to get Edwards here but it's clear he should be nowhere near the Championship

warksclaret · Post by **warksclaret** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 8:46 pm

Shelley is a player too
Get him on for Laurent and Foster for Fleming

willsclarets · Post by **willsclarets** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 8:46 pm

Its cheating having him in this league really

BobSykes · Post by **BobSykes** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 8:46 pm

Get in Marcus. One man show. Our only conceivable threat and I think he was determined to score that because of how frustrated he was, to be honest.

Certainly made that happen. Well done that man.

Cazaris · Post by **Cazaris** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 8:46 pm

Edwards that was f*cking sublime!

rosswallacefreekick · Post by **rosswallacefreekick** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 8:47 pm

That goal will get better on every watch - I think if he puts that ball most other places, it’s covered by someone. Fantastic placement.

& just like we gave praise to VK for managing to sign Tella, Maatsen etc etc, huge credit to SP because without him, he wouldn't be playing for Burnley FC right now.

What a goal!

Laurent has to make way second half. We are sitting so deep. Not singling him out as most haven't had a good game, but we're not set up to attack. Again.

Shelvey will help us keep control of the ball, that would be my change

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 8:48 pm

Edwards the only bright spark in that half.

I hope we make changes at half time.

Apparently it was the link with Scott Parker having worked with him at Tottenham that made the deal possible.

Guller Bull · Post by **Guller Bull** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 8:48 pm

Awful half of football. I actually nodded off at one stage there.

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 8:49 pm

Only one man of the match so far. I'd still give them, bar Edwards, a rocket at half time although you know they're doing what is asked sadly.

dvalley69 · Post by **dvalley69** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 8:49 pm

We're the new Sheff Utd... and may it continue!

It wasn't, was it? How about Cullen's contribution?

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 8:51 pm

Well, I watched Sheff Utd against Luton the other day and they were as bad as we just were, second half they were much better, which we simply have to be.

Singling out players isn’t ideal but Pires is the most awkward footballer I’ve seen I think. I saw someone say he has good forward passing on another thread. Bizarre.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 8:51 pm

Edwards has been positive almost everytime he has gotten the ball. Looks are real threat and a hell of a goal.

ecc · Post by **ecc** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 8:51 pm

Question: What is Edwards' loan fee?

Let's just hope he stays free of injuries. Different class.

Very poor performance. I now agree with those Clarets saying the non-coceding run is a hindrance.

I'm 99.99% certain Connor Roberts meant to play a one-two off Trafford. Class defending.

Casper2 · Post by **Casper2** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 8:52 pm

Edwards is different class

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 8:52 pm

Not a great first half, Edward’s class is the difference.

Longsider · Post by **Longsider** » Fri Feb 21, 2025 8:52 pm

Two wonderful things in that half. 1. The amazing goal by Edwards and 2. the groan and panic in Yorkshire that he plays for us and has goals in him. UTC
