I didn't boo last Saturday (I very rarely have in all my time watching us) but understood why people did. It wasn't the one game in isolation but seeing us play the same toothless football week after week.

The plan didn't work today because the defence didn't keep a clean sheet, when that starts happening we won't win many games. The facts are that after the first two fixtures we have scored more than one goal only twice in eleven games.

Might be time to shoehorn Egan in as a 3rd centre back, have Hannibal protecting them and Laurent as the playmaker.
Roberts, Humphreys, Anthony and Cullen are in danger of loosing their places. Flemming back in, with Hountondji seen as an option to start or come on from the bench.

I actually posted after the win against Leeds that 1-0 is a score line that Burnley fans should get used to. Leeds United sold a lot of their talent in the Summer but still retained players who still carry far more threat than we possess and can find the back of the net, such as Piroe. 13 games gone and we haven’t got got a forward on 3 or more goals.

None of those players are in danger of losing their places because there's no one in the same ball park of quality to replace them.

So we haven't got a strong squad, where we could experiment with different combinations or different tactics? OK then.

Parker is under appreciated by fans

The growth we have seen under his tutelage is overwhelming.
