The Super Clarets vs Preston Match Thread

[KernowHouseClaret]

How is that not a penalty? Wtf?

Allegedly he got a toenail on the ball?

[NickBFC]

Edwards causing problems already. Start him next game.

[BigGaz]

Oh my good god.

[tarkys_ears]

This ref must have taken money

I don't think he's clever enough to have done that

[CoolClaret]

Christ alive get Ashley eiffing Barnes on

[Zom Zom]

I'm hoping for a Neil Moore moment...

[TPClaret]

Penalty all day for me. Lucky ball touched him

[willsclarets]

How many ridiculous decisions can we have in vital moments of a game

[rosswallacefreekick]

I can’t believe this. Thanks for being a form of emotional support — it’s games like this where I think I’m done with it.

[JimmyRobbo]

Brady and Keen. 2 reasonable subs.

[dvalley69]

Anywhere else on the pitch that's a foul. Edwards played the ball onto the defender's leg. He didn't win the ball.

[HahaYeah]

Good defending Burnley!

[Commy]

If we don't score early we make really hard work of it.

[dvalley69]

Also, 6 mins added time.That incident took at least 8 plus add in some subs. Joke!

[Newcastleclaret93]

Just shite

[bobinho]

That's the spirit

Spirit from someone on a message board is totally irrelevant. He’s calling it as he’s seeing it, and guess what? He’s bang on the money. Our defensive framework and displays have been outstanding, but we can’t put bottom half sides to the sword consistently, and that will cost us an automatic place. If that changes, then we’ve a chance, but currently we aren’t composed enough in the box.

[Commy]

Can't blame Parker for missing golden chances.

[Commy]

The teams above us aren't going to win all of their games which I suppose is one thing.

[NickBFC]

2 points dropped, a bad result. Fear these draws will cost us but we're still right in the mix.

[TPClaret]

This refs a fooling joke

[Casper2]

Disgraceful referee

[willsclarets]

I think this is just about the most angry I've been after a 0-0 draw.

[Cooclaret]

Sell Foster. He’s not good enough.

[KRBFC]

Well done Foster pal, thanks for that

[daveisaclaret]

Just chances missed today, thought we were fine.

Now get the racist shitbag kicked out of English football.

[Conroysleftfoot]

And that's why we won't go up in the top 2.

[Sgt. Pepper]

Only some terrible finishing stopped us winning that.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Got to say I think that’s the automatic places gone

We just arnt going to catch up the other teams with our lack of scoring.

Parker has got to look at his tactics moving forward or we risk play offs

[Taffy on the wing]

What a farce!

[jedi_master]

Preston’s luck with referees against us stretches back 20 years.

[KernowHouseClaret]

Parker not happy with the ref at the end, some very strange decisions in that game

[Lu-tze]

Shocking ref, shocking pitch, shocking finishing.

[Murger]

The attacking talent we have and the manager makes 2 subs. Wtf is all that about?

[Elizabeth]

Only some terrible finishing stopped us winning that.

It's a simple as that

[ISpeds00]

**** Pitch
**** Ref
**** Game

[xxmunkyennuixx]

That ref was disgraceful.

[rexe78202]

I think this is just about the most angry I've been after a 0-0 draw.

I feel the same. 3-4 of the posters on here have made it 10x worse. It's been a very annoying day.

[DCWat]

Got to start Anthony left and Edwards right. We just have to start scoring goals.

[NottsClaret]

Ok, we’ll be 7 points off the pace by Monday but how about those clean sheets, right? That’s the real prize.

[TsarBomba]

Another example of why we’re not going up automatically, and to be honest, we don’t deserve to.

We’re not good enough in the final third. Poor finishing and poor decision making nd just a lack of killer instinct in front of goal.

Can’t be too critical of Parker today, we had more than enough chances to win.

[Clive 1960]

why wasn't Barnes given at least 15 minutes to go up top and Fleming behind another 2 points dropped when we should be going for it . said before window shut not getting a striker could cost us ...

[Burnley87]

It’s the managers fault again. He doesn’t want to go for games and happy carrying on with the same types of changes. Fosters missed two great chances but we didn’t test the goalkeeper all game again

[jedi_master]

We need to hear more from Hannibal - but, Osmajic, one would presume on the basis of what we saw, could be a racist, as well as a biter. Needs removing from English football.

[SouthamptonClaret]

Worst display from an official this season, which is some achievement. Allowed them to foul constantly to break up play by not carding them, Frokjaer gave away 3 or 4 free kicks in about 5 minutes. Aside from the dreadful decisions, I lost count of how many times he blocked players' runs and was hit by the ball once and had to dodge it a few other times. Garbage.

But we take our chances and his performance becomes fairly irrelevant

[criminalclaret]

Parker has got to look at his tactics moving forward or we risk play offs

There is very little fault to lay at Parkers door today.

Final 3rd was abysmal with AMPLE opportunities. We just didn't take them.

Should have been 3 or 4 goals to the good easily

[Colburn_Claret]

We should have won, but we need to offer a lot more than that to earn promotion.
Feels like 3 steps forward 1 step back.
SP probably feels unlucky, but he didn't do enough to change the game imo, all that depth on the bench.
Fortune favours the brave, we need a lot more courage in the final third, and in the substitutions.

[Bigvince]

At least 007 will be able to post this weekend

[SydneyClaret]

Played very well overall today, just the usual final third issues. Stonewall penalty if the ref hadn’t had a bet on a 0-0 draw. And how that Norwegian bloke made 4 professional fouls in a row without a booking was bordering on ridiculous. Very frustrating.

[BigGaz]

That's a shame, another game we might've won passed us by. Scrappy game that we've had 3 golden chances to put to bed, along with a penalty call that ought to have been given. As always though, if you've relied on the ref to win you a game then you've not done enough. Absolutely nothing wrong with how Parker set up.

Foster and Anthony both extremely poor for me in possession today, though you can't fault their effort. Let's have a look at JA and Edwards in their preferred positions from the off next game please.

[KRBFC]

Got to say I think that’s the automatic places gone

We just arnt going to catch up the other teams with our lack of scoring.

You were the lunatic telling us all Foster was the best forward in the league and that Hountondji would score 20 league goals this season.
