Watford v Burnley

Not dyche at all, the man was a miracle worker to achive what he did with the tools at hand.
Poor, penny pinching recruitment in one of the best and richest leagues in the world are showing this season more than most.

They haven't won at home for 10 games, no surprise we make them look like world beaters.

Pathetic so far, we are being outplayed by a team that's had ten straight losses in a row at home, do we want this because there is very little effort

10 straight losses and haven’t kept a clean sheet at home all season. Yet Foster hasn’t had a save to make!!! Criminal.

As poor as we've been, the two replays I've seen from the penalty incident suggest it should have been one, or shouldn't have been ruled out anyway. One showed McNeil's leg in the box when the foul was made and one showed it virtually on the line with players in the way obscuring the shot. I thought VAR was for clear and obvious errors, also not happy with the ref not checking the screen. Still, we need to be better second half.

Can’t stand to watch this. Burnley totally off today. Watford players falling all over the place and ‘winning’ free kicks. And VAR…top 6 get the penalty every single time.

They really don't as it was clearly outside the box

Well we are soon going to find out how much these players do want to stay in this league. That half was nowhere near good enough across the pitch. Is there anyone on the bench we can sub on for Lennon?

This.

Although Lennon put the best chance of the half on a plate. Cork putting in a "bad Jack" performance and both full backs struggling too. Vydra is lively but, well, Vydra. And Weghorst is appalling.

Just shows that our confidence is so fragile. Watford came out hard and we totally crumbled. That's not down to Jackson and nor was it down to Dyche previously. It's completely down to the players on the pitch. Go behind first and we struggle.

Need a serious discussion at half time. Too casual too easy muscled off the ball, fight lacking. That midfield is far to light.

Mentality was wrong from the first second, they freeze when the pressures on. The last few games they were already seen as relegated by us and the media after the Norwich game, maybe felt the pressure was off.

The bottom 10 have won 30 out of 165 away games. 1 in 5.5

Away games not easy in this league. Agree we aren’t doing ourselves many favours, but sides don’t come and dominate away.

Norwich won 3-0 at Watford just to put that shambles of a first half in to perspective.

And Leeds. Honestly the difference between Leeds’ performance here a few weeks back and ours just now is crazy.

We have 45 mins to put it right. But something needs to change.

Well from the sound of it, the people who wanted Dyche out and got their way are realising that he did in fact polish the crumbling turd!! We have and always have had championship players because previous and past chairman have not backed him. So now they move on to other scapegoats. Unfortunately this board which used to have great chats, has been taken over by players of championship manager, who just blast players giving all their effort for Burnley Football club. I’ll not be bothering with this thread anymore. I’ll go and listen to some proper fans of Burnley on YouTube.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sat Apr 30, 2022 3:59 pm

I just have no faith in this group of players to come out with the attitude and balls required to turn this around. We’ve seen this far too many times.

Don’t see how Lennon’s been any worse than anybody else? They’ve all been absolutely shocking. Weghorst looking like a carthorse, McNeil back to his old self, Cork and Brownhill completely overrun, back four being torn to shreds. Honestly looks like they were all out on the **** last night. Pathetic half of football.

Dark Cloud · Post by **Dark Cloud** » Sat Apr 30, 2022 4:00 pm

Our best chance of picking up maximum points on our 5 game run in and it's slipping away. From a game we really, really needed to win, it's turned into a "don't lose" which tbh isn't good enough.

Seems the story of our season. Aways do the unexpected (of everyone else). It seems we don't have the bottle of previous seasons.

Agree. Vydra and Weghorth too far apart, we desperately need to beef up that midfield, Lennon and McNeil offer nothing in defence and we need a solid centre. Ash would offer more stick up front, Ash and Weg up top Vyds out wide for me, I think.
