I can let you all in on a little secret. The linesman on the main stand side was crap. Not sour grapes this, but Burnley's second goal was offside (by a good 2 yards). This was prior to the free kick. The guy was waving for offside when they were not and onside when they were clearly off. If he is premiership standard, then god help Burnley et al. He was yards behind the play of the ball and the last line of defence. I though Bav's had an outstanding game tonight, although he could be held at fault for the free kick, yes there was a deflection, but I thought he was too far over to the Whinney Hill side of the goal to stop anything going in at the near post. Overall, we wuz robbed. We defended exceptionally well against the likes of Jay Rodriguez and the rest of the Burnley attack. But my one wish now is for another goalkeeper to keep Bav's on his toes. And as others have said, why no Kee? I was looking forward to him playing tonight.

If we can play like this against Burnley, then we should have no worries against League 2 opposition. Bring on Big Sam's Rovers
