Maybe football of yesteryear, but a talented winger would normally have one put on him very early doors, with a word in ear to expect that all afternoon. We don’t seem to have that in us.

 Bring back Mike Thresher, I say!

[petehinton]

Held our own against the champions, been undone for an absolute worldie. Lots to be positive about tbh. 

[Lanterne Rouge]

Plymouth winning.

[old_eastender]

Brownhill shoots wides when well placed to score.

[Curr Avon]

We're getting outclassed in midfield. Kalas for King at HT, and push Naismith into midfield?

[Super]

Weird seeing a Burnley team playing such good football.

I wasn’t thinking that far yesteryear, my yesteryear was the 80s, needed to have a little google. Excellent 50s-60s reference though

I mean we kind of are, but at home we have managed one off target shot all half. Not saying we are out of it or not doing ok, but they do have that bit of quality and no obvious weakness at this level.

We have no movement off the ball and a predisposition to play backward rather than forward. Needs someone to grab this by the scruff of the neck and gee this team up

Maybe, or Weimann for Bell, who has had too many poor touches today and not really threatened at all.

It’s the lack of creativity in the final 3rd again, all the early pressure we had has come from Burnley trying to play from the back rather than anything we’ve created. Just a bit insipid from us really.

[Curr Avon]

We've done well to keep the score at 0-1.

Not quite sure what people were expecting today against the best team by a mile in this division. We've done OK i think.

Its good but its bloody boring. Tippy tappy shite. Hate it!!

Agreed.  But they’ve show up all our weakness and fragilities.  Short passing and close control has been poor when pressurised.  
Lots to do if we really want to challenge next year.

It reminds me of the 0-2 home loss to Bournemouth last season, when we hardly laid a glove on them.

Burnley have been in charge throughout that half without having to really break sweat and could be 2 or 3 ahead. Benson, with a carbon copy of his strike v Blackburn, is a class act.

Thought Pring had a good half otherwise we’ve been second best, too easily giving the ball away, outplayed in midfield and have lacked any threat up front, despite their keeper taking a chance or two.

Be tempted to switch formation and bring on Wells for SB or HC and AW for AK.

Hope we can, at the least, come out with a bit of urgency and fight in the second half, otherwise it will be a disappointing end to our home games.

I just think we are holding them in too much reverence on getting promoted. A relegated Prem team with parachute payments is what they are, all this guard of honour bollocks at the start almost mentally puts them on a plinth. Treat it as a cup game and get in their faces, give them a game and then shakehands and say well done at the end.

Peacock-Farrell is some keeper. First time seeing him and wow.

Very laid-back isn't he?

Very unflappable.

[Engvall’s Splinter]

Interesting views on here. Talksport commentator stating the gulf in class between the two sides is huge. 

[Lanterne Rouge]

QPR 1 up at Stoke, Uncle Albert.

[RUSSEL85]

Crazy Sheff Wed could finish on 96 points and not go up

Wouldn’t say it was huge although you suspect Burnley have a few more gears in them.

[MelksRed]

Lucky there. 

[CityCiderEd]

As good as Burnley are we're certainly giving them a helping hand with our passing and poor ball retention. 

[old_eastender]

c'mon NP change something, otherwise it's just a matter of time before it's 0-2.

[MelksRed]

Officials blowing for any slight touch on them

Just missing a plate to put the ball on before we hand it over.
