Match thread Burnley vs Bristol City (a)

[Newcastleclaret93]

Think we have looked pretty good so far

[hoosier-daddy]

Is Sky Sports+ showing Bristol City comms?

[Wile E Coyote]

brilliant from koleosho

[TsarBomba]

Jay has been excellent so far.

[ElectroClaret]

Looks like we are going for another 0-0 what a joke

Bang goes that little theory.

[TsarBomba]

Poor from Cullen there. Too pedestrian.

[Goliath]

Jay has been excellent so far.

Might shut a few up on here

[hoosier-daddy]

Very poor from Cullen then. Should never lose it there.

[Goliath]

How is Hannibal so poor technically when he was highly rated at Utd for so long

[TsarBomba]

So many good aspects of our game, but our open play crossing is diabolical.

[bfcjg]

Conditions not helping

[Buxtonclaret]

That was a better cross.

[Casper2]

Hannibal falls over again

[hoosier-daddy]

Ref is doing well. Letting light challenges go on.

[Casper2]

Is Sky Sports+ showing Bristol City comms?

Sort of

[ElectroClaret]

Conditions not helping

They're not, but it's the same for both sides.
Question of who masters it better.

[TsarBomba]

Ref is doing well. Letting light challenges go on.

Yeah really good, applying a bit of common sense with the conditions.

[burnleymik]

Hannibal doing Hannibal and getting under the home crowd's skin.

[AfloatinClaret]

How many more times are Bristol's mid pitch shirt-pulls going to get ignored; some are blatant/obvious

[CrosspoolClarets]

Still in desperate need of Parkerball having a slight adaptation.

Too much where we see a chance to attack but by choice our player doesn’t move forward to receive, and it goes back. Makes it all very safe and dull.

[bfcjg]

To many attacks breaking down by over complicating the passing,especially on the right.

[ksrclaret]

We’re playing well overall given the conditions.

Having someone up front who knows what he’s doing is definitely helping.

[KernowHouseClaret]

Egan-Riley really is proving to be one of the players of the season.
How Memehti hasn't been booked yet is beyond me and McNally just looks like he wants to prove a point and is kicking out at anyone

[wilks_bfc]

Wouldn’t be surprised to see a red card in this game

[Buxtonclaret]

Jay hits the bar.

[ElectroClaret]

Jrod hits the bar!!

[willsclarets]

cracking header that, unlucky

[The Hung Juror]

Deserve to be 2 up. Egan Riley solid again.

[Blyclaret]

Classic Jay there great header unlucky

[hoosier-daddy]

Certainly the better team.

[Buxtonclaret]

Great stuff again from ER at the back.
We really do have a good CB pairing again.

[Blyclaret]

Much better. Jay playing very well. Pity hes not 10 years younger

[ksrclaret]

Egan-Riley is just about as solid as they come.

[The Hung Juror]

Don’t like saying this, but we’re comfortable. But need a second goal.

[ElectroClaret]

Great stuff again from ER at the back.
We really do have a good CB pairing again.

Yep, Worrall, Ekdal etc will struggle to get back in when they're fit, good problem to have.

[CrosspoolClarets]

A good half, a bit dull and safe but away from home and in these conditions it is understandable but we do have to try to create more and get more bodies forward.

[hoosier-daddy]

Their small chances have only really come from our errors. Koleosho needs to get involved more and run - run - run!

[Buxtonclaret]

Very decent first half.
We're much the better side.
Same for the second, please.

Special mention for the Ref.
Doing a good job, so far. We've had some numpties lately

[whiffa]

Decent first half, Jay having a great game. We're closing down well out of possession.

[HahaYeah]

HT looking good.

[ISpeds00]

The standard of most of the championship opposition is absolute ****
These are crap

[RVclaret]

Happy with that half from us. Jay has done well enough.

[Goalposts]

Egan Riley at this level is definitely one of the top 4 centre half’s.. and will only get better given his age. Reads the game well which compensates for his lack of pace. If he had that . Well we’d never have left city.

[jedi_master]

Far better performance, wingers offering a lot more down the flanks and we really look a lot more like we should with a proper number 9 down the middle. Jay doing well.

[Murger]

That’ll do.

[jedi_master]

Egan-Riley is just about as solid as they come.

Needs contract sorting ASAP.

[dougcollins]

Strange one. They beat Norwich at Carrow Rd last time out, they hadn't lost there for a year.

[Gp8419]

Look a lot better today,just need to kill this off. Proper ugly team these just got to watch them at set pieces.

[ecc]

We look much sharper.

Lots of good FH performances.

Egan-Riley: really pushing on. Touches of class on a regular basis, great interceptions.
Cullen: Mr Metronome thus far.
Jay: I apologise to you Jay. Looks much sharper, making runs, coming back to help out. Decent header that hit the bar. Much, much better.
Luca: His role in the goal will boost him.
Anthony: Took it well. Up and down the pitch.

Hannibal: McNally totally wiped him out. He's targeted. Good management by SP to have a word. Suspect Laurent will be on after 60 mins.

We need a second though.

[fatboy47]

Excellent first half.

Really not sure what some (usual suspects) expect.
