Match thread and team

[Sgt. Pepper]

Lucky to go in at 0-0.
Cullen off at halftime. Unfortunately their tactics are rendering him completely ineffective, and he isn't really physical enough to compete with them on their terms.
Possibly Hannibal on, but in a game like this he's a red card waiting to happen.

[JohnDearyMe]

Very dull

[Clovius Boofus]

Decent enough first half, apart from the scary final minutes of added-on time.

[IanMcL]

0 0 H/T

[firebfcfire]

Anthony is nowhere near good enough. A very negative half by us, very lucky at the end Trafford has to be stronger

[HahaYeah]

Enjoyed that, good first half.

[TsarBomba]

Got either 0-0 or 1-0 to Millwall written all over this.

Started well, but Millwall have turned it into a scrap which suits them.

We don’t remotely look like scoring.

I’d be hooking Anthony for Sarmiento.

[Paddy1882]

Not having Anthony at all, seen enough of him now to think he’s very very average

[Sheedyclaret]

We must be watching different games.

Nope I’ve definitely got Millwall v Burnley on sky plus and it’s crap

[willsclarets]

Started well, and lost momentum. Millwall finished the stronger there but I'm not too downbeat. Still.a good chance of getting all 3

[ksrclaret]

HT 0-0. Wonder how many more times we'll see that this season.

Can't attack for toffee.

[burnley007]

So many of our players are not involved.

Another nothing performance.

Zzz...

[CrosspoolClarets]

Julien Vetro taken ill and taken to hospital, causing 15 min delay. On loan to Dundee from Clarets. Hope he is OK.

[AGENT_CLARET]

Nope I’ve definitely got Millwall v Burnley on sky plus and it’s crap

It really isn't

[Stonehouse]

Dirty gets trying to get us into a brawl,tackle on Anthony that the ref let go wouldn’t have been out of place at Twickenham.

[gandhisflipflop]

Not having Anthony at all, seen enough of him now to think he’s very very average

You rate him that highly?

[BigGaz]

In a half of not many positives I am glad to see us having it with Millwall and not allowing ourselves to be bullied

Roberts, Esteve Humphries, Laurent, Cullen and Hountondji I've seen all willing to stand up for theirselves and get stuck in this half.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

Trafford being Trafford again that half. 1 excellent save, 2 flaps and a multitude of p!ss poor kicking

[AfloatinClaret]

How the bloody hell was that shirt pull not given?????

Playing advantage? Pulling the shirt but not really stopping progress.

[jojomk1]

Millwall trying to stop us from playing. Making it scrappy.

We are not doing much "playing" ourselves

[dougcollins]

Anthony is demonstrating typical loan player syndrome- play like they're scared of being injured.

[Tribesmen]

Not great was it , hey ho see what the 2nd half brings

[Goliath]

Dire

[Stonehouse]

People say the problem is upfront but I think it's midfield. Passing back when the pass can be moved forward. Wide midfielders passing back instead of going forward.

I think we’d been playing over 30 mins when Brownhill’s name was first mentioned.

[kentonclaret]

Enjoyed that, good first half.

I actually posted in the week that it was the perfect TV game for a Sunday afternoon nap.

[Devils_Advocate]

Not a fan of Anthony. Id like to see Koleosho on the left with Lauren on the right playing the role Vitinho had before he left.

[Buxtonclaret]

Playing advantage? Pulling the shirt but not really stopping progress.

Way I saw it, he stopped him getting in front?

[hoosier-daddy]

Millwall were growing in confidence. Tactical changes needed at ht

[Safron]

Anthony off and Cullen off, Sacramento on and Hannibal or possibly jay and go 442 for me , but sp will see it differently and change nowt as per usual, after a very bright start it's turned into the normal borefest as usual.

[louieollie]

Still rolling on the floor

Excellent , good to know your audience

[AGENT_CLARET]

60% possession and 5 shots away from home in the first half, the performances are slowly coming

[FCBurnley]

Another poor half. Tippy tally side to side. Millwall starting to win the 50/50 balls and should be ahead. Hannibal on I suspect for Cullen and Sarmiento for Anthony

[CrosspoolClarets]

The left hand side of Bashir and Anthony are so negative, first thought is turn back all the time

My concern is this is on instruction.

Koleosho HAS to be on the left for me. Anthony’ best attribute is two footed. So put him on the right.

[ClaretOfMancunia]

Boring again. Millwall all over us for twenty minutes with no reply. Parker's tactics are miserable.

[IanMcL]

Trafford weakness being highlighted on tv.

[BurnleyFC]

Another fairly disappointing half of football from us.

We simply have to be better.

[BobSykes]

Frustrating rather than boring. Story of the season bar the first 2 games.

Playing a team who are up for it and think they can win does help us, but a real risk of conceding here today. Can't see them failing to score based on how the half ended.

I can't really see what we change though with the resource we have.

[KRBFC]

Absolutely awful again, based on that first half we wouldn’t score if we played all night. Proper negative nothing football, possession for the sake of it. Sh*t scared of conceding a goal.

I look forward to more excuses about how we’re missing X and Y player, like it hasn’t been poor football all season and it’s just a one off.

[blatherwickstattoos]

Picking up where we left off. Toothless

[jojomk1]

I can't really see what we change though with the resource we have.

Sadly, I have to agree

[IanMcL]

We will win.

[Elizabeth]

Used to these kind of performances now. Millwall’s physicality is a strength, I don’t know what our strength is. Yes I’m worried we will come away with nothing. So many average players!

[ksrclaret]

Parker's tactics are miserable.

This sums it up for me. We're a rotten watch.

[hoosier-daddy]

Boring again. Millwall all over us for twenty minutes with no reply. Parker's tactics are miserable.

They certainly weren't all over us for 20 minutes.

[NottsClaret]

Groundhog Day.. boring.

[DesmondHaynes]

Houdonkey up against Cooper! Cooper is huge - a giant!

Millwall should have scored there.

‘Houdonkey’

He’s a young lad trying to make it as a footballer. He’s been in the country a few months. He might make it, he might not. But this childish nickname is pathetic.

[TheFamilyCat]

Playing advantage? Pulling the shirt but not really stopping progress.

That was for the liner to give, it was right in front of him. Then for the ref to decide whether to play advantage.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Bright opening ten minutes then we’ve got progressively worse. Our passing is dreadful.

[jedi_master]

Sarmiento has been pretty poor barring that goal he scored, but I’d be bringing him on for Anthony and shifting Koleosho to the left.

Houtondji started really quite well and then we just seemed to have totally struggled to get him into the game.

[Newchurch Claret]

In the context of the last 10 years, this is a shockingly bad Burnley side, isn’t it? Yes, we’ve had far worse in my 40 odd years of watching but the non-tactics and general lack of ability throughout is woeful. It’s a more difficult watch for me now than as a young, excited fan in the early the 80s, but still here I am (and we all are). I think we’ve just got to stick it out…
