Match Day Thread: Fulham vs Burnley

[tim_noone]

That has got to be one of our most dominant halves of football in a long time. We were all over them.

You should have seen the Liverpool game.

[Quickenthetempo]

Great first half. Keep going like this clarets.

[ian]

Did Bardsley go for a swim?

[FactualFrank]

For me it's all about the Premier League, so a nice bonus to be playing well and be leading.

Jack Cork isn't far away from getting his place back.

[Quickenthetempo]

Great first half. Keep going like this clarets.

[Right_winger]

Up front their is so much move fluid movement. Makes a huge difference to having an available outlet and keeps us up the pitch. Jay and matej have to start ahead of Wood and Barnes they are just so much better players

[Newcastleclaret93]

Jack Cork is everywhere tonight. Brings a touch of class to the team. We have missed him this season

[gtclaret]

How has Fulham had more possession, did I miss something

[taio]

Cork's cross was sublime.

It's not just about the front 2 though. If you're playing against a team who dominate midfield, then the front 2 won't get enough of the ball. Which forces the defence to lump it - and Jay or Vydra aren't the players to benefit from long direct balls.

You have to look at the opposition and our midfield.

[Tall Paul]

Good half.

Need to get Wood on in the second half to put some of these chances away and put the game to bed.

[Buxtonclaret]

How has Fulham had more possession, did I miss something

Thought that looked wrong too.

[EarbyClaret]

Good indicator to why we should be OK this season when you compare the quality of our squad players to the other teams in and around the bottom 6/7

[Whitgord]

Impressed with Cork and Pieters. Pitch is probably cutting up due to effect of undersoil heating. It was covered in snow a couple of hours ago (which they swept off)

[FactualFrank]

Good half.

Need to get Wood on in the second half to put some of these chances away and put the game to bed.

That's exactly what we don't need. Give the front 2 more time.

[jojomk1]

No need to change anything whilst in front

Save the legs for Weds

[FactualFrank]

Definitely. And Vydra needs a goal.

Brentford beating Leicester, 1-0, in other 2.30 ko

No, you have to slag off Wood, Barnes and Dyche at every opportunity.

Its not about having posession ... its what you do with it when you have the ball ...

Good watch that

I know it's not a league game but more flowing with the movement up front

We are playing Fulham and they have their 2nd (at least) choice defence out there. Bit easier than playing against most PL defenders.

[Boss Hogg]

Get up the pitch quicker with Jay Rod and Vydra. Vydra gets himself into good positions and has played very well.

[DomBFC1882]

Good half.

Need to get Wood on in the second half to put some of these chances away and put the game to bed.

coz he's been in great goalscoring form at the moment . Best laugh I've had today. With game time Jay and Vyds will bury most of these

[jojomk1]

Never seen stats like those before

[FactualFrank]

I thought he was on your foe list

Didn't take you long!

[FactualFrank]

Shush.. Taio will be along shortly to back him up.

[taio]

Didn't take you long!

You're always good for a bit of half time entertainment

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Come on Burnley

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

It has been a smashing open display from our lads. Even better considering only Tarks is on the pitch of our 7 man spine. Unless Tarks gets hooked, to save his legs, I can’t imagine any subs.

[superdimitri]

Is Parker trying to butter up the ref?

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Come on Burnley

[jojomk1]

Off topic

But Brentford leading 1-0

[FactualFrank]

You're always good for a bit of half time entertainment

You'll always be a troll - even with a smiley

[taio]

Rightly unchanged after that very good first half

[jojomk1]

Vyds has had a wash and blow dry at half time

Immaculately clean kit

[FactualFrank]

We deserve a second.

[jojomk1]

1-1 at Brentford

[Guitargeorge]

Me. “Any changes at half time?”
Wife “No they’re still dirty”

[dermotdermot]

Quite good coverage on BT. No adverts, no stupid half time pundits. The last five minutes have just consisted of a nice quiet view of their extraordinary new stand which is under construction. The trouble is that it dwarfs the rest of the ground and you can’t see the river anymore.

[bfcmik]

Long needs some passing lessons I think

[jojomk1]

just hope we don't drop deeper this half

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

Josh Onomah sounds like a disease you could catch on holiday.

Good saves by B P-F

[gsyclaret]

great save

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Good save

[wilks_bfc]

[Buxtonclaret]

Superb save!

[jojomk1]

Who is Nick Pope !

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Triple save

[taio]

Wonderful save

[Bigvince]

Fantastic save
