I hated the narrative leading up to the game that Burnley were rubbish. They had a really tough opening 7 games

They did exactly what they should have done when a GREAT cross comes into a player that's completely unmarked.

We've had players miss those headers/chances

Gudmundsson's crosses seldom come to anything...

Top defending from Gudmundsson was it? Or it might be 2-0. We've done sod all so far

We've looked pretty shite so far, but to be expected considering the mediocre nature of the squad. You know it's desperate when we're relying on Harrison and then Brendan's a regular first teamer. A top tier Championship side at best.

I know no one else agrees but Longstaff and Stach in the same side cancel each other out.. I really don't like it. Adding Aaronson, another #8, complicates it further

Without Okafor we don't have any creativity. Hoof to DCL and have Piroe playing off him.

Or pace.

O, we have to score from there. Very poor from Aaronson straight at the keeper
