4 points from opening 3 games

Good stuff! Better then I expected. Maybe thought 3 points at best by beating WBA. Undefeated away :lol: :lol:

Judging by last week's performance, I think we can count ourselves a little unlucky not to be sat on at least five points.

we've played three games and crucially, we've played well in three games. We can take great positives from this.

Happy with that, heads didn't drop more importantly.

Very happy with the points return and the performances so far. We still need to add a couple of players but the signs are promising.

Good return and we should have scored first vs WBA and had them chasing the game.

The WBA sucker punch was predictable but you could see us nicking this one at the death. They looked a bit nervy, especially with the chances they missed.

Excellent result. :)

Deserved that point, today.
Spurs are very good going forward.
Can be lethal on the counterattack.
But we took it to them one down and, scored a good 'un!

It's just our home form that I'm worried about.

Not worried about home form, we lost to Swansea in similar circumstances then went on to win 10 at home, bring on Palace!

A win at the Champions, a draw at the runners up. Man Utd would be delighted with those results

We should have won that :D but FOUR points from our first two away games, who would have believed that Super Clarets.

Looking forward to the home games after the international break. Hopefully a CB joins us, either way West brom was a blip and Palace and Huddersfield are winnable games. Hopefully the recent success in London allows us to play with confidence at Anfield.

I had us down for 1 from the 3 so that will do nicely.

Everyone would have taken it before the season.

Fabulous start.

I noticed this as well. Went 1-0 down, quickly switched to 4-4-2, took the game to them and then some. Last season we'd have dropped our heads. I'd take 4 points from our opening 3 games all week. Especially considering two of those were away and tipped to be in and around the top 4.

Yeah when I saw the changes made by Dyche I said to my kids we are going to make a fight of this.

I think we deserve more points than we've got (deserved at least a draw versus West Brom) but it's a very positive start. As I've said, I hope we can build on this by further strengthening the squad with a couple more signings. Brilliant to go into the international break with such a big positive.

I had us down for 3, but those 3 were from our home game. Football, eh!

Great show today and we had em rocking all over the last 10 mins .Heaton was superb.Though just for a small dose of reality, we just held on against 9 men at Chelsea and got beat off 10 vs WBA at home .We do look more "prem" though and I think we'll be great at home again and pick up some very nice scraps away.

Even 1 from 3 would put us on a par with last season. It's a bit of a shame to have lost those points to a potential rival, but all things considered, happy days!

Two away games we've hardly seen the ball but scored 4 to gain 4 points and everyone is buzzing.
One home game have all the ball for zero goals and points.
Football eh! It'll drive you insane.
