Clarets vs Sunderland

[CoolClaret]

Absolute joke this team, this squad, our football.

We look awful.

It's not acceptable at all and certainly not fair on the travelling fans.

[jos]

No shots on goal yet, Come on Burnley

[JimmyRobbo]

Seff Utd and 'Boro both losing.

[blatherwickstattoos]

Vitinhio switching off for that goal. Didn’t know the lad was behind him. We look lost. How things can change in a week. Pace and co need a long hard look at themselves because this line up is like a Sunday league side.


We win 2-1 lol

[Woody9229]

He looked offside.

Sunderland been the better side, they look good, but we haven't been as poor as some have made out.

Hope your guide dog is ok?
Have u seen the stats?
Nothing is working
Truly dreadful

[Tricky Trevor]

On the bright side.
We were 2 down at this stage last time and we have finished the first 2 games strong.

[helmclaret]

Pathetic defending from Roberts for the goal.

[FCBurnley]

Got a few out there today who either aren’t good enough or who don’t want to be there

[jedi_master]

It’s an incredible effort from Alan Pace to achieve this in such a short period of time after those first two games. Reminds me of myself on Championship Manager as a kid taking over Preston and selling off all their best players to see how bad I can make them.

[HahaYeah]

Stupid from Foster.

[claret2018]

Abysmal referring

[fidelcastro]

If only they had enough about them to realise how much they would earn if we were promoted. Not happening now and they gain less than we would have done.

What if the players we've sold wanted to leave?

It also won't be this team every week.

[Pickles]

Making some really daft choices. Why's Foster pushing O'Nien? Ball going out of play. He's not the only one. We've played fine in moments but lack of composure all over the field.

[Ptgclaret]

Not really. They've scored with their only shot on target.

Exactly. At least some of the other shots should've been on target.

We're lucky it's only one.

[ClaretFelix]

We should be playing players contracted to us. Until such point as they are officially gone, they should be getting their kit on, regardless of the risk of injury

[Newcastleclaret93]

These tactics are ******* shite btw

We all know Vitinho isn’t a starting winger in this league and Rodriguez number 10? Just madness

Can only play what’s available.

Seriously who else are we playing there. Look at the bench.

[superdimitri]

Our terrible start isn't helped by the referee giving everything to them.
Time for us to start falling over and rolling around too.

[brexit]

Abysmal referring

agreed most of the referring on this board is terrible

[JimmyRobbo]

Pathetic defending from Roberts for the goal.

Roberts has looked vulnerable and sloppy with this passing so far.

Perhaps the goal will take a nervous edge off us. We've not looked any worse since the goal.

[warksclaret]

Vitinhio switching off for that goal. Didn’t know the lad was behind him. We look lost. How things can change in a week. Pace and co need a long hard look at themselves because this line up is like a Sunday league side.

We know Vitinho is not a defender
We win 2-1 lol

[ClaretinJapan]

Think I'll get some shut eye and enjoy tomorrow instead.

[Colburn_Claret]

I don't have a stream, but looking at the team sheet we are shy of leaders on the pitch. Always an issue with a young side.
I cant see the point of hanging on for half time, we need to make changes soon. The problem is, apart from Amdouni, we don't have a game changer on the bench.

[fidelcastro]

Exactly. At least some of the other shots should've been on target.

We're lucky it's only one.

Coulda woulda shoulda... We'll get chances.

[jedi_master]

Lucas Pires, after a strong start at Luton, is worrying me.

[Since62]

Hi Brucefan, I went to the club site to buy the audio commentary, but it mentioned: 'Available in selected territories'. I'm assuming that the audio is not available if you are in the UK. Am I correct? Are you located outside the UK? Thanks.

Audio only in UK (I'm listening to it) but now seems to be £2.50 per game.

[warksclaret]

Think HT will be a good test for Scotty and our coaches

[ksrclaret]

Those who rejected the idea that the heart has been ripped out of the squad ought to just take one look at the body language of the players out there today.

[Indecisive]

Don’t know why I read this thread. Yes the game isn’t the best and not surprisingly we are struggling putting out such a different first 11.

But reading this thread is infinitely more depressing than watching the match today.

[Safron]

Neither brownhill or massango pushing to get into the Sunderland half

[Woody9229]

Coulda woulda shoulda... We'll get chances.

I’m really not sure we will
0 shots in 35 minutes!!

[burnleymik]

Things have to change. We are miles off it.

[HahaYeah]

Was a shite throw out to Pirez though.

[Row x]

Nice to see some posters returning, having been very quiet the last two weeks
Don't enjoy your day too much

[NewClaret]

This is horrific

Totally outplayed

[jojomk1]

Egan Riley needs subbing at HT

[Ptgclaret]

Coulda woulda shoulda... We'll get chances.

Not if the first 37 minutes are anything to go by.

Apart from 2 hoofs up front for someone to try run onto, nothing.

[BurnleyFC]

An appalling half hour of football from us.

Proper dreadful.

[LincsWoldsClaret]

Has Kompany come back?

[blatherwickstattoos]

Egan Riley needs subbing at HT

Needs selling at HT

[jedi_master]

Those who rejected the idea that the heart has been ripped out of the squad ought to just take one look at the body language of the players out there today.

I feel for Parker, and no doubt the players will be as gutted as we are that the owners have sold half the squad off within a week - but the attitude of the players out there is disgraceful in some cases. No press whatsoever, terrible distribution across the board and a casual lack of movement - snails pace.

[Pickles]

When we're bad, Vitinho is really bad.

[Foshiznik]

Cmon lads get your foot on the ball and keep a bit of possession and composure for 10 minutes.

[fidelcastro]

Not if the first 37 minutes are anything to go by.

Apart from 2 hoofs up front for someone to try run onto, nothing.

A game is around 100 minutes these days.

[basil6345789]

Only Foster getting stuck-in. Wake up!

[willsclarets]

I'm almost embarrassed it's that bad. But it's not rocket science, we have a lower half championship side out there.

[warksclaret]

Reality shock for the Board

[Woody9229]

Not seeing much leadership from Brownhill
Should be stepping up with Cullen out but he’s hiding!

[JimmyRobbo]

Again, right back postion passing the ball to nobody. Couldn't see who it was, perhaps E-R.

[CoolClaret]

Those who rejected the idea that the heart has been ripped out of the squad ought to just take one look at the body language of the players out there today.

Exactly - quantify that with effing data. It's obvious you cannot do this thing and have sustained success. It's stupid.

[Stonehouse]

Has Brownhill had a kick yet?
