[Shaggy]

Parker ball is stinking

[Casper2]

Whoever signed HOUNTONDJI needs sacking

[BurnleyFC]

The drive home will be more exciting than that.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Criminal result. Need to be asking serious questions about Parker now. Plays 2 holding midfielder in front of the back 4 at home to bottom of the league. Dross

[FCBurnley]

Pitiful

[JimmyRobbo]

I think I've said it fince the end of the window....where are our goals coming from?

Just can't see anyone capable of attacking crosses or capable of scoring set pieces or, for that matter, shooting from distance.

Keep in the chase until the window and hope the owners have someone lined up.

Can't wait for Scotty's comments

[grapidianclaret]

What the hell do they work on in training?

[xxmunkyennuixx]

Tempo second half was way too low. Not enough options on the bench. Transfer window shambles catching up here. We can talk tactics all we want but if your options off the bench are a full back, an ancient striker and a kid whose played square root of **** all then you are not equipped to compete at the top end. This is on Pace.

[It Is What It Is]

Excellent disciplined QPR defence, well organised, very very hard to play against that.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Steve Cotterill could do more with this squad

[Pearcey]

Frustrating but fair play to QPR, they parked the bus and parked it very well. We need some players back asap.

[Cooclaret]

Why?

Do I bother you?

I hope I do.

No, not at all…

It’s more about protecting, and promoting, your mental health pal.

When the fun stops, STOP.

Steady

[BurnleyFC]

Someone mentioned it was the worst football since Cotterill and was shot down.

I’m starting to think they were correct.

[Casper2]

Can't wait for Scotty's comments

He’s as boring as the football he serves up , I use the term football loosely

[fatboy47]

Thought we played very well...some great stuff.

Bit toothless mind.

[willsclarets]

We are so, so easy to defend against. The ball is moved so slowly, no one ever takes a risk with a pass. If you know that as a back 4, you're in for an easy afternoon. Another clean sheet, but we have to be more ambitious. I didn't see much of the first half to be fair, but the second was dire.

[BurnleyFC]

Excellent disciplined QPR defence, well organised, very very hard to play against that.

Almost every other team has managed it.

[newstart]

disgrace. am I watching the same game as Parker. slow backwards passing.
no forward threat. no creativity

[GetIntoEm]

Moaners got home early. How was the firestick stream sat on your fat arses? Stick a quid in meter, gets cooler later tonight.

[Tricky Trevor]

Shite. Gotta feel for SP he was dealt a shocking hand. Nobody on the books looks like they can score regularly and a total lack of decent creativity. Solid defence and sneaking the odd win will keep us in it but roll on January.

Re: my earlier post about Koleosho it looks like I was correct he has fast legs but not fast feet. He needs to be up to speed before he gets to the FB then go straight past him. He’s not Jimmy Mac when he’s stationary with a FB fronting him up he loses it.

[karatekid]

Excellent disciplined QPR defence, well organised, very very hard to play against that.

It is their first clean sheet of the season.

[dvalley69]

Naturally, we ran out of steam 2nd half with it being our 3rd game in 7 days, and we saw why subs weren't made earlier: the lot of them were embarrassing when they came on. This is what happens when you have such squad carnage and turnover. As someone has already said, this is on Pace and the way the club is run.

[Casper2]

Other teams have managed

[Commy]

I keep saying it. You have to play with tempo when teams sit in to move them around. We are too slow in our build up which makes it easy for them.

[warksclaret]

We dont have the necessary quality to sustain a serious challenge. We have done well to get to our points total but I am seeing a trend now. Unable to beat the likes of Preston, Hull and QPR, when teams like Sunderland ,Leeds and Sheff Utd put these sides to the sword. When you look at our strike force of Foster, Jay and Hountonji its laughable compared to the teams listed above. Looking at our sicklist on the bench which featured on this thread it really winds me up that their mobiles are more important than the game. And with no one having a clue to the state of play re Tresor then there is more to worry about than just our performances

[Cooclaret]

No need for this bud.

[grapidianclaret]

I really hope Pace is as worried as he looked today.
Promotion really is crucial in the next two seasons and these performances will not achieve it.
The crowds will turn before or during christmas with this repeated level of creativity or lack of.
Today is the norm,not a one off

[Jimmymaccer]

Yes, but they hardly had to be excellently disciplined…….we had the ball, laboured with movement and every time allowed them back into position……..I could have played in their back 4……and I’m fat, legs have gone…….and 62!

[BigGaz]

If results are the be all and end all to you, then there's no problem here is there? We're doing great to be ekeing out results and staying in touch with the pack with many of our first teamers out.

If you value excitement, you want to feel like you are on the edge of your seat and your heart rate increasing...well, it's not good is it?

[GetIntoEm]

No need for this bud.

Truth hurts sometimes

You do realise no one is allowed to criticise

5G available in Burnley. Easy to post whilst at the game.

Haha.
Good point
As I say, I've done that. Normally make an effort to get to games, but decided I'm not watching ParkerBall anymore. It's schitt

You obviously thought it was a good performance Scott?

[willsclarets]

Don't even live in England, so it's not "truth", it's just a stupid comment

[GetIntoEm]

Thought they actually played a bit better today, quicker passing, just no killer instinct

[GetIntoEm]

I couldn't make it today and was gutted pre-match, now I am getting messages from my friend who borrowed my ST for the day, saying he doesn't want to borrow it again so to answer the question, seems like I was better off on my (not so) fat arse

[willsclarets]

Who doesn't live in England?

Me. So I can't go to the match, but I've bought between 15 and 20 season tickets. And if I or anyone else want to watch the game online, and comment on it, then that's perfectly fine.

[Commy]

I think people are moaning because they can't understand (and nor can I) why we keep playing with two defensive midfielders at home against the bottom teams. They are sitting in so why do we need to do it. Go more attacking and give them something to worry about. And up the bloody tempo!

[xxmunkyennuixx]

People previously stated on here that the necessity to get promotion was **** fans and their ridiculous levels of entitlement. We need promotion because of the ownership model. Their bad decisions over three transfer windows is now directly threatening the future of the club. I'm not for blaming Parker, I'm all for pointing at the owners and their idiocy. The summer transfer window was a ******* shambles.

[KRBFC]

Awful football and awful tactics, obsessed with players out of position.

Esteve could genuinely defend on his own today yet we’re insisting on 3 defensive midfielders infront of him, Roberts even inverted today to make it 4 defensive players in midfield.

You then bring on Jay Rodriguez and play him right wing.

Every man and his dog knows Luca is better off the left yet he’s letting him stagnate and hanging him out to dry on the right.

Some of us couldn’t get on today so was it better viewing watching it on the Turf? rather than on a Firestick,must be something wrong with my tv if it was.

[GetIntoEm]

It wasn't a bad performance, just no goals which is a shame. On another day that could have been 4-0

[Dark Cloud]

It's not all Parker's fault that we're overloaded in numerous positions, but yet we have very few options when it comes to strikers. Plus, teams like QPR will get football done away with if they constantly get away with never crossing the half way line and playing games of "attack and defence"! BUT, if Burnley are at all serious about promotion, we really have to be breaking these teams down and winning these matches.Today wasn't the first and the way things are looking it's not going to be the last where we are cordially invited to "come on and let's see what you're made of". Oxford away was a carbon copy and you get one, maybe two clear chances all game. Score them and you're topping the league. Fluff them and you're an also ran. The free header from the corner in the first half was not only crucial, it was criminal!! Disappointed and extremely worried!

[Casper2]

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Just like I am.

Yes but your opinion is about other people’s opinions and often quite abusive.

[CaptainKirk]

What is the point of Rodriguez coming on

Appearance bonus.
