Burnley 1 up, gudjonson free kick.

Re: Burnley game today
 

The number 12 for us looked a good prospect. Unlucky couple of mistakes by KA for the first two. We held our own in the first half well :)

Re: Burnley game today
 

1st half looked great.

Murdock and Edwards went off and it was a different story, we got battered in the 2nd half.

Id agree our number 12 looked good.

And Clarke is like lightening.

all in all if Murdock or Edwards get injured we are in trouble, simple as

Re: Burnley game today
 

Our biggest problem is, who's going to score the goals?

Re: Burnley game today
 

How did the youngster on loan from Blackburn do? Said on 2br that He was partnering Mullin up front.

Re: Burnley game today
 

thought Murdock stood out a mile. Number 9 looked useful.

Re: Burnley game today
 

Having looked at a picture of him I think Clarke may have been number 9

Re: Burnley game today
 

Clark was number 9 yeah, looked very good, had pace to him

Re: Burnley game today
 

I assume the final score was 0-1 , which Mullin played and where t'was the other?

Re: Burnley game today
 

Final score was 0-3. Paul played, John didn't

Re: Burnley game today
 

Wow....Dingles got home against the run of play:eek:...looks promising for your lot Dave...:(

Re: Burnley game today
 

If you say so KJ :D

Re: Burnley game today
 

was it right that there was some 'handbags' in the Clayton End?

Re: Burnley game today
 

I was a bit disappointed that Diego Penny wasn't in the Clayton End goal in the second half - I was going to shout insults at him in Peruvian Spanish!

Re: Burnley game today
 

Things got a bit heated for a few minutes. Also had the presence of a convicted murderer :eek: Police checked to see if he was still serving a banning order, turns out it finished at the end of last season.

Re: Burnley game today
 

One mans loss is another man's gain, or in this case woman's gain. Somebody stood next to me was very pleased they changed keepers at half time :D

Re: Burnley game today
 

Not really. We played some nice stuff but we have not addressed the problem of lack of firepower up front. Oh for an Andy Bishop-type player who can make and take chances - we never worked their keeper at all. Plus points for me were the new left back who looked the part, feisty and a good footballer, and Murdoch at C.H. looked very solid in a 1st half defence which did the business.. Miles looked sharp , unrecognisable as the player who left us on loan - "who is the new no. 7", said my neighbour! Ryan(?) showed some good touches when he came on but gave the ball away too often.Massively dissapointed with Grant's performance today - he really has to convince me that he has what it takes, and Proccy was completely out of his depth today. I also thought Kenny should have done better with the 2 free-kicks, although the wall didn't do it's job for the 1st - it wasn't exactly a top corner job.
Like TM, I'm very, very worried by our complete lack of striking ability up front.

Re: Burnley game today
 

Yes, Dave, I can guess who and I can guess why! ;)

Re: Burnley game today
 

You might want to watch this with no sound ;)


YouTube - Joey Gudjonsson free kick vs accrington stanley

Re: Burnley game today
 

Exactly!

Re: Burnley game today
 

Personally I thought Clarke was poor, did he have a shot? I also thought that Murdock is not fit to lace Kempsons boots, did Coleman actually see him play, I thought he was too slow and was saved by Edwards on a few occasions.

To finish my moan I couldn't get a beer or a burger at half time because the *3100* :confused: had the lot before I got there.:mad:

Re: Burnley game today
 

I'm seriously not moaning here, just expressing a genuine concern.

We will concede goals aplenty next season, because that's what we do. However, I honestly can't see where the goals are going to come from. Mullin might get 9 or 10 if we're lucky, but where are the others coming from? Craney will chip in with a couple maybe, but if we don't find a winger and a striker (or two), we're in serious trouble.

You thought last season was dull and depressing at home? Just wait for this one!! :(

Re: Burnley game today
 

We should remember there is a big gulf between League 2 and the Championship.

Sheffield Wednesday finished 16th there last season but won 4-1 at MK Dons in midweek and 2-0 at Bury (Andy Bishop and all) today.

Re: Burnley game today
 

Maybe but there was some good results today from League 2 clubs, be honest if we had been playing Barrow today we wouldn't have scored.

Re: Burnley game today
 

I know there's a gulf between the leagues, that's pretty obvious. But Bagpuss is right, we never created anything. We just got it forward to Mullin as fast as possible. I've seen that somewhere before.... lots of times.

Re: Burnley game today
 

Re: Burnley game today
 

and it wasn't me :D I thought he was looking a bit porky:rolleyes:

Re: Burnley game today
 

I have to agree with Bagpuss reference the half time fiasco of trying to get a drink, that's just basic stuff and we did not learn from the same thing happening at the Bury game how much more of peoples hard earned could have gone into the Clubs coffers:confused:

Why was the Lounge Front Door Locked? Maybe there was a reason but it was not exactly packed to the rafters in there, did we shoot ourselves in the foot again:confused:

The game had a few plus points for me:
Chris King at Left Back looked very good, Murdock looked okay but as others have already mentioned up Front we just look so lightweight, lack of anything on Goal it does worry me that we have not signed a proven Striker and that needs to be addressed before the Season starts or it is going to be long hard season:(

Re: Burnley game today
 

Does it actually make a difference to the clubs coffers apart from the clubhouse bar ? The catering is outsourced so presumably they pay a fee for rent regardless of takings, unless they pay some sort of percentage of takings which I doubt.

Re: Burnley game today
 

As far as the food (and I use the word food VERY conservativley) stand is concerned, then yes Dave you have a valid point, however the beer stall is a different matter it is run,staffed by the clubhouse so yes the money would have gone to the club.

Re: Burnley game today
 

Thank you o wise one :D Yes it would have made a difference then, according to our lot they ran out at 2.45 in the away end :eek:

Re: Burnley game today
 

The back five (Arthur, Cavanagh, Edwards, Murdoch, King) looked almost (shh) solid. There you go Jeff - we might just be dangerous this season :D

Craney was awful. Please Morecambe - give us a decent offer and you can have him.
Miles was completely retarded as usual. Did someone say he looked sharp?! The sun got to you then!!
Clarke wasn't brilliant. Not penetrative enough.

Ideally, we need Anthony Barry, a Roscoe D'Sane who hits the target once in a while, and Gary Roberts.

Or more realistically... the Unibond's equivalents.

Re: Burnley game today
 

Deano and Lutel available ? :P

Re: Burnley game today
 

there really is no excuse for running out of beer in the stands. The beer is cans for gods sake and we should have crate upon crate piled up in advance. At the Bury game we ran out before the kick off and yet again at the very next opportunity we have run out before kick off. I don't know what the half time takings are usually but on lovely sunny days like yesterday and the Bury game they would have been quite high.

Re: Burnley game today
 

One of the main complaints from our lot is that when the bottled water ran they started charging £1 for a plastic cupful of it. Strange how the taps in the toilets didn't work ? :rolleyes:

Re: Burnley game today
 

Did anyone buy a programme ? If so can you tell me who the officials were please ?

Re: Burnley game today
 

I agree with you. The defenders, for once, played the ball out of defence instead of just launching it anywhere (until Rocky came one) and they also looked solid. As for where are the goals coming from, remember we were playing against a Championship defence. There will be plenty of Championship clubs who will fail to score or penetrate Burnley's defence in the coming season. All in all I was pleased with the first half performance. Let's just wait and see what happens in competative games against Aldershot, Wolves and Port Vale before making any judgements.
