Match Thread Burnley v. Sheffield United - 21st April 2025

[54yrblade]

Parker might be able to afford a coat that doesn't look like it came from Mr Byrite

Better manager, bought better players, scored far more than us, conceded far less, better style of football, not been filmed acting up, not been disrespectful to other bosses or clubs, not getting hammered by fines but, yeah, criticise Parker and his coat.

Congrats Leeds & Burnley. Absolutely deserved.

It is sad watching Burnley celebrating when a few weeks ago we were looking the ones to do it.

 

[paidsy]

That game was no disgrace. If anything we were the better team and 2 pieces of madness cost us. They are a very slightly better version of us.

Gus was MOM on losing team. Bring on the play offs - I reckon we will do it.

Must win game and we didn't lay a glove on them in the 2nd half

 

[VictoryBlade]

I’ve been watching football a long time and we have the smell of a defeated club already I’m afraid….

Would love to be orovrn wrong but believe will go out with a whimper

Like today we had to go for it to keep our hopes alive… would you say that was going for it?

Not at all!

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Wasn't lost today.

Wasn't a disaster today. Glad Cannon got his goal.

Where do you buy cans of blind optimism from?

 

[Trigger]

Turned off the telly i don't want to see leeds celebrate

Same

 

[WestYorksBlade]

Pathetic second half. You knew after ten minutes we weren’t scoring. 4 losses in 5 at this stage of the season is inexcusable and a sackable offence.

But we’ll have to endure a few more games of this turgid shit unfortunately. We can only hope the owners have the sense to show a wilder the door after the play offs

 

[CornwallBlade]

I dont think we've been THAT bad to be honest. Wish we put in this much effort vs Millwall, Plymouth and Oxford.

And who’s fault is that? The tempo ain’t down to the players.

Gus best player on the pitch

 

[United Aren't Back.]

At least we've pumped it forrad a bit. They can't take that away from us

Good old Eddie Waring style, up and under.

We were obviously watching two different games.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Gus best player on the pitch

Was he playing?

 

[Kenworthy’s Tash]

Brownhill's 20th foul...no yellow

Shameful refereeing all game, you just want consistency

 

[BettingBlade]

No it isn't. No where near

The head loss is absolutely embarrassing. It happens on an almost weekly basis when things dont go our way and it all stems from the manager.

Calling out referees when he really doesnt need to, calling out the fans, shirking responsibility all over the gaff. Its pathetic

 

[Rochdaleblade]

Fair play to Burnley. Fifteen goals conceded in 44 games is ridiculous. They will fit right in in the Premier League. I lost count of the number of times they won cheap free kicks by just standing in the way of the man attempting to clear the ball.

 

[CornwallBlade]

Brownhill committed 3 fouls.

Ahmedhodzic committed 4 fouls and didn't get booked.

Don’t talk cobblers, Brownhill was fouling to break up play all game

 

[Frank the tank]

Well yeah if you just want to make stuff up.

OK I exagerated a bit
Maybe 8 minutes

 

[Yarrayering]

Was he playing?

He was quality

 

[Addison]

4-4-2 hoof ball with Jackie long throws throws that don't achieve anything. Dreadful watch us just booting it up to Moore with aimless crosses straight down the best CB pairing in the Divisions throats. What does O'hare have to do to get a game? The manager will see that as a victory keeping the score down. It was clueless football, clueless tactics and team selection. We've never turned up this season in the big games and the difference in class between us and the top 2 is there for all to see. We've lost out on automatics due to the managers insistence on shoe horning his favourites into the team at the expense of better players.

 

[Champagneblade]

We've lost away to burnley and had we played like that against oxford millwall and Plymouth we'd have been 1 point in front of burnley and leeds. We'll done to the 2 who've been promoted, they've been the best, but I can't help but think what if arblaster and Soutter had lasted the season, it would have been a lot different.
I'm not at all confident of the play offs I think when you look at the last couple of months it's obvious we've already run our race

There’s very little thought given to that at this stage and it isn’t fair on the club.

If they’d lost Brownhill and Esteve once the season was underway, how would they have coped?

Basically down a goalscoring 20m midfielder and a 15m centre back.

 

[Jon B]

Brownhill's 20th foul...no yellow

His fouls are with the ball in the vicinity. The Ref can't be certain they're deliberate.

Whereas Hamer"s foul and yellow card .....

 

[ml1997]

Fair play Burnley, the much better team. We aren’t good enough to go up. Nothing worse than the play offs though.

 

[Nick Jansky]

Gus best player on the pitch

If you ignore half the Burnley team.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Hete we are, need to calm down and focus calmly on the mountain ahead. I suspect another inquest into actions, this time Choudhury, on the pitch.
Why do they allow chav scum on to make fun of the players?

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Don’t talk cobblers, Brownhill was fouling to break up play all game

Are you getting him mixed up with Flemming?

 

[Ace of Blades]

Gus was MOM on losing team. Bring on the play offs - I reckon we will do it.

Could you please tell me where you get your glasses tinted?

 

[Blade56]

Start the clearout, bunch of bottlejobs

Owners need some balls and make the move quickly, these performances are disgraceful

That’s what you get from (to be honest) a budget team of good L1, average championship and doubtful PL loaners. Chuck in walk away 1980’s management WilderWang selections and tactics and the owners know what they’ve bought.

All depends if they’ve got
1. Experienced advisors
2. The Munneh
3. The bottle to deep clean the old SUFC from top to bottom
4. A Plan for a modern progressive club

 

[Kev Gee]

Souza had a mare.

I don't think they were 'much better' - hardly anything in it- they got the rub of the green. Gus was the best player on pitch by levels.
