Wolves vs Burnley ~ MATCH THREAD - EFL Cup

[blatherwickstattoos]

What is this obsession with "scapegoats" etc? if someone is playing poorly then criticism is legitimate. Houtondji, even out of position, has now played almost two full games for us and shown very very little. Criticism is fine.

We do have to bear in mind he is out of position, but he still he hasn't really shown anything at all. I hope he improves with time.

It’s Virtue signalling. He defo complains about fans leaving early too.

[Newcastleclaret93]

He's definitely not put a performing together yet, just glimpses. A sharp pass or getting out of a tight spot. Hopefully he gets better and wins you round. I suspect he'll be "first reserve" behind browny and Cullen though anyway

I think that role is probably what suits him best.

Although after watching this game McDermott has impressed me more than massengo

[burnleymik]

Humphreys has now played LB, RB and now CH in the same game!

Like the look of this lad.

[jrgbfc]

Honestly may seem a bit extreme but McDermott has looked better than quite a few of our seasoned pros.

Looks very tidy with the ball

Definetely, might be clutching at straws but looks like he has something about him.

[willsclarets]

It’s been a long time since I’ve watched a Burnley side so toothless, these last two games have been absolutely soul destroying.

My expectations were so low this evening tbh. If we'd had the squad we had against Luton I'd be thinking we'd win. But what can you expect with this team really. Zero width.

[Stonehouse]

Must be the toothless team we’ve put out since Steve Cott’s was here.

[boatshed bill]

About time we gave some of our better U21s a go.

It’s not criticism of anything in particular. He was blamed for the goal even though he was 90 yards away from the goal and others saying he’s a donkey and a competition winner. It’s the same sort of thing we saw for Trafford last season that turned into outright abuse and toxicity. There’s a hell of a lot more wrong with the club and squad than one player playing out of position in a mishmash team in a new country.

[billyhamilton82]

Is Worrall ok?

[Burnley Ace]

Foster picked up an injury!!!

[Goliath]

Must be the toothless team we’ve put out since Steve Cott’s was here.

Exactly my thoughts. It feels like an away Tuesday night under Cotterill where we had little hope of winning. I really hope we aren't back to those days, I'm not sure I could watch the full season like this having seen the board rip the soul out of the team. It's utterly demoralising

[Foshiznik]

It’s Virtue signalling. He defo complains about fans leaving early too.

Oh you are one of them that hears a term and uses it to label people you disagree with… am I also “woke” too then?

[nyclaret]

I’d play Humphreys LB ahead of Pires on Saturday

[Greekclaret]

Our LB is so poor on the ball. His first touch is terrible and has zero composure

[Cirrus_Minor]

Foster picked up an injury!!!

Quick get him sold!!

[123EasyasBFC]

Humphreys is the player we thought Egan-Riley was when we signed him. A player who can play multiple positions. Looks a really composed calm player.

I’d be confident if I saw Humphreys next to esteve

[willsclarets]

I'm not sure what people were expecting tonight. It was always going to be pretty average

[Foshiznik]

Getting worried a lot of our lads starting to look tired and stretching their legs. Need as many available for Saturday as possible.

[HunterST_BFC]

We're not very good.
Mid Table at best.

Saturday we will get pumped

[Silkyskills1]

I'm not sure what people were expecting tonight. It was always going to be pretty average

I'd be ecstatic with that.

[1914tyrone]

Pires looked a little shaky first two league games, tonight he has been woeful.

[burnleymik]

It's going to be crucial we bring in wingers and a striker minimum. Really hope we have some irons in the fire.

[KRBFC]

My eyes are bleeding

[Foshiznik]

Good to see Foster with a bit of effort

[matttheclaret]

My eyes are bleeding

Mine haven't stopped from last season yet

[Silkyskills1]

My eyes are bleeding

Really?

[jrgbfc]

Fair play to those that have gone tonight, proper diehards.

[dermotdermot]

Foster looking a bit podgy to me.

[burnleymik]

Positives at least:

Hladky
Massengo
Humphries
and although he is slow Worrell reads the game well and I think him and Esteve will make a good partnership.

[Newcastleclaret93]

I think everyone was just glad that was over.

Feel sorry for travelling fans though that was pretty grim

[willsclarets]

I'd be ecstatic with that.

haha fair play

[whiffa]

Premier League opposition, mid-week evening fixture, hugely depleted squad... it could have been a lot lot worse tonight. Keep the faith.

[xxmunkyennuixx]

This co-commentator is an absolute cock. Oblivious of the situation.

[fatboy47]

Positives at least:

Hladky
Massengo
Humphries
and although he is slow Worrell reads the game well and I think him and Esteve will make a good partnership.

Not McDermott?

[Pearcey]

Mickey Mouse cup anyway. Bring on the b@stards!

[willsclarets]

ok, back to being obsessed with potential signings it is!

[Foshiznik]

I think most of us would have taken 2-0 before the game if that can be a positive…

[willsclarets]

Mickey Mouse cup anyway. Bring on the b@stards!

I refuse to think about that game until we get some players in

[boatshed bill]

Really?

We live in the age of exaggeration and hyperbole, Silky, this game is worse than the darkest ever in the history of BFC you know

[burnleymik]

Dan Bentley the Wolves Keeper might have well got a brew and sat in the stands.

[ElectroClaret]

I think everyone was just glad that was over.

Think that's the general feeling.

[agreenwood]

Shame to say it, but we just had to get that game out of the way.

Any travelling fans should get 100 loyalty points minimum for attending.

[Bordeauxclaret]

I feel for anyone who went to watch that.

Although it played out just as expected.

[123EasyasBFC]

Did foster go over to the fans at the end?

[burnleymik]

Not McDermott?

Oops, very much so. Did superbly for a young lad there and as others said he looked better on the ball than some of our first teamers.

[ElectroClaret]

Saturday we will get pumped

Coincidentally, that's exactly what they're saying about themselves over on brfcs forum.

[Tribesmen]

Not great was it

[burnley007]

That was truly awful

Pace is in serious trouble at this point. That's 2 games our board have thrown.

Shameful

[Foshiznik]

We're not very good.
Mid Table at best.

Saturday we will get pumped

If you are making that call of todays game, you may not have seen that the fiddlers lost to the donkey lashers at home yesterday night!

[Tricky Trevor]

Only seen Whiffa mention that we were “playing a PL side”, with better players than us all over the pitch. Live with it. Play like that Saturday and we can win.
