We must’ve won the possession for a change. Even if Burnley knew we wouldn’t score until next Christmas with it.
 
We can not do any worse in 2021.
Last match of 2020.
Setting new records every week.
Brewster at least had a go and on another day his shot would have not been cleared off the line by a shoulder.
Basham actually looked like a PL player for parts of the match head and shoulders above them all.
 
We didn’t look awful. At least not Derby awful.

But as long as we keep the same pedestrian midfield, teams will be so comfortable defending a 1 goal lead.

We actually had the ball a bit today, but we are ponderously slow at moving it through the pitch that teams simply regroup and get men behind the ball - Burnley could have defended their lead against us for another 10 games if needed.
 
Thought Brewster had his best game for us tonight, think he will be an important player going forward
He did a few good things, but always followed by something poor. If he'd been our own youngster coming through I think we may have sent him on loan in January to give him more experience.
 
Players are still giving 100%,it must be demoralising to walk off the pitch with nothing every week, but that's the biggest plus for me.

Don't be fooled by the possession we had tonight. Burnley would let Southend have most of the ball. It's the way they play.

I thought he blew hot and cold today. Did the odd good thing then levelled it up with something awful. There might be a decent player in there, only time will tell.
 



Maybe his best game for us (he actually ran about a bit) but just about every thing he tried went horribly wrong. By 2025 might have a Premier League striker in there at this rapid rate of progression.
 
Positives:
  • Ramsdale made one excellent save and had a decent game
  • Two shots from outside the box (from defenders though)
  • Brewster at least looked interested for part of the game

That's all I've got...
 
It’s now obvious what we need.

Change of formation to 442. (It’s just not working, partly due to personnel.)

A rest for Baldock and Stevens. They just aren’t pulling any trees up. (Time for Derby contingent.) However I’d play George against palace he does well against them.

A strong physical athletic midfielder. (Make do with Lunny for now.)

Another midfielder. (Who can help create chances.) Fleck isn’t cutting it.

A central defender for back up to John and Bash.
 
As much as it pains me any positives anyone lists are nothing more than clutching at straws.
 
Chris Basham. much as I support united this superb servant of the club deserves so much more and if he got picked off by a more successful club I would only feel good for him. otherwise fuck off Shankley football is not more important than life and death and it’s not too hard to put it into that perspective today.
