Positives from today

Post by tiger76 » Sat Nov 03, 2018 7:01 pm

This is tough but i'll try.

We scored 2 and looked much better going forward,2nd half particularly.

Taylor had probably has best game for us.

Defour completed 90 minutes.

And Ben Mee looked back to his best.

Any others.

Tarkowski didn’t get sent off ( not sure that counts as a positive)

It was 2 inches from a 3-3 draw. Chris Wood hit the bar when it was 3-2.

Is Wood the player that likes to hit the bar on a regular basis according to some?

In the final 30 we made some good attacking moves with Defour & Brady both trying to feed the front 2.

The train home wasn't too bad, I suppose.

Another game to tick off the list, not long left now.

Sean Dyche is still our manager

Garlick is still our Chairmen

When Defour and Brady get back we will start picking up points, they're 3 poorer sides than us.

Correct. With a fine choice of 10 real ales! Coach dropped us off at the door at 11.15am and picked us up at 1.30pm. With one or two beers being consumed in-between!

Agree the positives above:

Ben Mee is back to his instinctive best - superb covering to get back and head off the line - some very confident tackles in the box winning the ball cleanly - hit me(e), kick me(e) and I will still be there to take some more.

Great goal from Chris Wood - and nearly a second from Charles Taylor's cross back from the line beating the full back on the way there. A couple of excellent defensive tackles from Charles Taylor, as well.

Some great saves from Joe Hart.

Steven Defour another 90 minutes and staring to influence things again.

Matej Vydra showing he can be a Premier League player for Burnley.

A very shaky first half turned around with a strong performance for most of the second.

We will be playing at the London Stadium again next year.

Some bright sparks compared to the last few games. Much better going forward, still suspect at the back though.

Went to some nice bars, had a decent pizza. Tiny Rebel's Stay Puft porter was great.

So would that mean a 2-1 loss at Leicester, followed by 1-1 draw against Newcastle
and then (hopefully) 1-0 win at Palace.

After that it's Liverpool!

I thought that Vydra looked positive going forward, just not used to the speed of the Prem yet. Certainly an improvement on Hendrick. Not sure why he was subbed off. Wood also showed what he can do when given proper service. Problem there is that he needs perfect service.

He looked positive and did ok, adds a different dynamic. His main problem was that on at least three occasions in the final 3rd he came out wider down the right and was out muscled losing possession, ending our attack and letting them set off with pace.

Brady needs to start. We were much better with him. Lennon was crap.
