Pope 5 - poor for the goal and not a great deal to do otherwise strangely.
Lowton 6 - not at the level he has been recently, but ok
Tarks 6 - badly at fault on that first goal, questionable decision making on our last 2 goals conceded. Played solid otherwise though and some nice passing but cant mark any higher after deserting his post.
Mee 7* - very solid today and some great blocks.
Taylor 7 - thought he was becoming a real.outlet I'm the game but looks like Sean wanted to protect him.
Gudmunson 6 -tidy enough on the ball but not really involved.
Brownhill 6 - worked hard throughout but showed a lack of quality at times again unfortunately.
Westwood 6 - decent game overall but some erratic passing. Dont think the surface helped.
McNeil 7 - his work ethic towards the end of the game was phenomenal. Thought he slowed us down a little too much in the first half but looked dangerous in the second.
Vydra 7 - how work rate was unbelievable the pen would have been soft but Saka went to play the ball and missed it and caught Vydras foot. Thought he should have stayed on as he was getting us up the pitch..
Wood 7 - played well again but again just that final touch deserted him (other than the goal). Could have won it for us but lovely link up play.

Pieter 6 - great effort and think he would have been unlucky with the pen - he was jostling side to side and not sure where else he could put his arm.
Brady 5 - quiet when he came on.

A point gained, either side could have won it.
Vydra and Wood are getting better and linking up very well, great move Wood should have scored.

A few off it today but looking more like Burnley of old.

Just a sprinkling of quality needed in that final 3rd, crossing and final decision is often poor.
Hitting the first man the amount if times we do is criminal.

Safe to say we will be playing in this league again next season.

The 9 might seem high for Vydra but I believe that's the best I've ever seen him play. He linked up superbly with Wood, he worked his socks off for us and showed a lot of quality.

Pope 5 Will be disappointed with their goal. Should have tipped it around the post.

Pope 6 (Yes, he should have saved it, but it wasn't all down to him and he didn't do anything else wrong)
Lowton 6 (Wasn't great for their goal either, but again didn't do much wrong)
Tarks 7
Mee 8
Taylor 6 (with better crossing he'd get 9!!)
Westwood 6 (more poor crossing from good positions)
Brownhill 6
JBG 6 (Yet MORE poor crossing)
McNeil 6 (Did ok, but again garbage crossing, which really is his bread and butter!!!)
Vydra 8*
Wood 7 (Some decent hold up play, but some poor 3 yard lay offs!)

Pieters (WOW! Helter skelter stuff!!! Not really a bad enough foul for the booking. Not ever a penalty when he cleared off the line, but probably a penalty all day long when the ball struck his arm earlier)
Brady 4 (Did he come on???)

Another game where we'll happily take the point. Played pretty well in patches, especially second half, but they were always a threat and stretched us defensively and we could so easily have lost it. I really, really wish we'd put some better crosses in from decent positions as it's playing to our strengths, but today (and so often this season) our crossing was utterly woeful!

Brownhill 5 Both midfielders worked hard but lack class
Westwood 5
McNeil 6 quality of his crossing was poor at best
Wood 7 His lessons at the John Francis school of ball trapping have worked well, seriously needs to work on his ball retention
to help take pressure of the defence and give midfield a chance to get up in support

Pieters 8 WOW Great defensively, brilliant going forward and nearly scored. If he had done that for 90 minutes he would have
been mom no doubt
Brady 6 Looked better than previous outings

Well played all the team, grit, determination and no little skill on display today, please practice crossing the ball that beats the first man because 1st half today it woeful.

Arguably the best I’ve seen him for us, in the right game he’s exactly what we’ve missed but I agree with those that argue he’s not always the answer, deserves a decent run now with a decent striker chomping at his feet on the bench
