Burnley v Leeds Utd Match Thread

[Finnatic]

Nine wins and three draws from the remaining seventeen games = 90 points, same as last season but I think it would be enough this time.

[John in Louisiana]

Thats what boredom can do to you.

I'll take that as a no.

Is that the first game Gnonto hasn't played in this season?

Gnonto has not played in two of our 29 championship games.

I need to research the ones when he didn't come off the bench.

[Orange Box]

A point is a good point.

I can't put myself through a rewatch of that game.

9 goalless draws for Burnley, says it all.

I would cut my hair throat if I was a season-ticket holder at Turf Moor.

Guy in our village (in Scotland) has a Burnley ST, has had for years. He never goes, he says he loves the club but can’t stand the football. Says it all really.

Honestly it was a shocker. Some abysmal refereeing. Dan James the only shot on target (I think). About it really.

[Pullhard]

Burnley’s last 4 games of the season.

Away to QPR and Watford
Home to Sheff Utd and Millwall

A few banana skins in there

Gnonto remained on the bench at Hull & in tonight's game.

I wouldn't go watch Burnley if I lived next door to the stadium.

Commentators banging on about how good Burnley are defensively, but we only allowed them 4 shots, none on target all game

One of the studio panelists was saying they need to offer more at the other end

They were playing at home. 3rd in the league. Didn't have a shot on target and had less than half as many touches in the box as we did. We weren't great. But that was a pitiful performance from a team of their stature.

[andrewjohnsmith]

Just got home from class.

Any point in my watching the replay?

Sure. If you've got something else to do at the same time.

[Cjay]

The start of a really tough run for us.

Cardiff used to be a big bogey side for us, results improved recently vs them but overall they have a better h2h record. And they aren't losing much, 1 defeat in 8.

Coventry have improved under Lampard, top 6 form

Watford have the 4th best home record in the league

Then it's Sunderland, Sheffield United and WBA.

I wonder if Scott Parker is banking on us dropping more points than them in the upcoming fixtures?

Burnley have a comparatively easier run on paper.

They certainly didn't try very hard to win tonight, neither did we tbf really (but slightly more than them)

But wonder if that is partly why.

I enjoyed that film "Bank of Dave" But after seeing Burnley this season, could never watch it again - If you don't get the refrence, he's a big Burnley fan, has a benefit concert at Turf Moor and Sean Dyche has a cameo.

Do some grading.

If we can draw away to a 3rd place team, while having more of the chances, I'm not worried about any of the upcoming fixtures. We also made Sheff U look lame at our place.

[andrewjohnsmith]

Do some marking.

That's "grading" in US talk, Not sure John will know it as "marking"

[Carrick Dave]

I'll take that as a no.

Step away from the remote....

Burnley definitely wouldn't survive in the PL yet again.

Maybe and maybe not but George Graham had us finish mid table playing in a similar fashion so you never know.

Good point tonight though and that's the main thing
