Well the good news is that we're still very much in this.

HT

We played well except for their goal

I would take a draw

I would trade a defeat for Brady's injury not being so bad

KefkaClaret · Post by **KefkaClaret** » Sat Dec 02, 2017 3:52 pm

We've looked poor since Brady came off, I think we need to go 4-4-2 and hope JBG can pull some magic out of a hat.

Good performance since the goal but struggled a bit since Brady went off. This could well be a game for Vokes and Barnes and a more direct style especially if we're still one down after 70 mins

He's been OK. that last FK the comms thought was against Hendrick was the next challenge by Bardsley.
OTOH his lino is crap

I know what you are saying and whatever happened to a good old fashioned 'Drop Ball'. It looked to be a pure accident with McGuire just slightly quicker than Brady and for me a foul is something intentional. I concede this Referee probably saw it as a foul.

No worries..2-1 Burnley...

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Sat Dec 02, 2017 3:55 pm

Fair enough John guess we just have a slightly different view of it but each to their own opinion. Now lets turn this round in the 2nd half

I can't remember the last time I saw a Lino make a call for other than offside. This business of Referees having to indicate their decision before the flag is raised is possibly why the standard in general has declined.

Years ago Lino's would be flagging for fouls all game and you dreaded seeing a flag across the chest if you were defending. Now they probably have to spend 99.9% of their game concentrating on the correct interpretation of the offside law.

Hendrick has been our most effective player today.

HiroshimaClaret · Post by **HiroshimaClaret** » Sat Dec 02, 2017 4:00 pm

Thought Hendrick had a bright opening 15 minutes but faded as the half went on...leaving Wood isolated. If nothing changes can see Vokes coming on around the 70th minute (OR Hendrick staying on, getting the equaliser and shutting me up).

Gudmundsson has been excellent again so another link up with Vokes, a la Southampton, would be grand!

Cleveleys_claret · Post by **Cleveleys_claret** » Sat Dec 02, 2017 4:01 pm

For such a well drilled side our end result on corners has always disappointed me. The deliverys from Brady today were awesome yet we can never even get a header on target.

Shows what a subjective game footy is! Agree he was very good for 15 minutes but has been, in my book, subdued since.

A good showing by the Clarets although Mahrez has been the stand out player so far. Come on lads, a goal would be deserving of the efforts so far.

Maybe I am wrong, but I think that's a good sign.

Surely if it was a break or cruciate injury, he would be straight to hospital for assessment/X-ray's etc?

piston broke · Post by **piston broke** » Sat Dec 02, 2017 4:10 pm

Am I right in thinking Brady kicked Maguire with his right foot but it was his left leg they braced up?
Or did Maguire catch him on his follow through?

if it's ligaments they have to wait 24-48 hours before doing scans

I hope so. Although I think any swelling needs to go down before scans are given. And a knee brace is worn for tears and ligament damage. I guess it be anybody's guess until we hear more.
