[Birley Blade]

Not surprised Mousset gets fucked off, he’s screaming for the through ball and the only service he gets is fucking behind him and to feet.

 

[The Bladesman]

Osborn has impressed my pants off in this game.

 

[Iceybabey]

Much better finish to the game

 

[Chabuddy G]

Osborn has impressed my pants off in this game.

He’s got a lot of similarities to Fleck you know...

 

[Chabuddy G]

A point isn’t a bad result at Turf Moor but could’ve been 3

 

[FriethBlade]

Well played lads, had most of the play away from home v an established premiership team and come from one down to take a a
well deserved point

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

Decent result and a decent performance considering we played Thursday night and the conditions were shit.

 

[Iceybabey]

Dean's looked shaky since Newcastle

A point isn’t a bad result at Turf Moor but could’ve been 3

Not easy to score against Burnley and yet again we show some bollox to come from behind.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Well-worked goal for us. Probably a fair result really – we had chances, they had chances. Thought 2nd half despite seeing more of the all we didn’t look quite as dangerous as we did 1st half. Decent game.

 

[Kev Gee]

Good performance. But as usual, peppered with a couple of self inflicted errors. Giving the ball away cheaply by DMG to Burnley and them nearly scoring. Then DMG redeeming himself by getting in a crucial header at a corner. Can't fault the work ethic of this team and we look a completely transformed team from 2 weeks ago. More plus points to gain confidence from!
Well done lads!!

 

[shrubbery]

Incredibly frustrating performance probably not helped by horrible conditions.

Bossed the first 30 and should have been a couple up of it weren’t for some poor finishing and then got caught against the run of play.

Second half a disjointed mess with too many formation and personnel changes. No cohesion and always crossing from too central that is bread and butter for the Burnley defence. Simple passes going astray and not utilising the Mooses pace as can’t find the pass into space even though the wind was in the right direction for this.

Looked defensively nervous in second half too but maybe this was due to the wind again.

Taking a point not a disaster but a big step down in performance from mid week but Burnley a far more organised unit.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

A point was the least we deserved. We look far more attractive on the ball than Burnley who really are solid but very one-dimensional hoping for a set piece overload or a lucky rebound.

 

[Bobby b]

I must have been watching a different match but I think weve played pretty good, were playing away in the premier league against a team in 10th who are 3rd in the form table and we've pretty much dominated throughout the game with 52% possession.and were coming home with a point to add to our incredible total, so it's a well played lads from me.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

A point isn’t a bad result at Turf Moor but could’ve been 3

They could have took 3 if they'd took their chances too. We looked good for the point and wouldn't have nicked the three either.

 

[georgethecat]

Totally agree. No foul at all on keeper

It looked like the game was restarted with a Burnley throw in. That would suggest that he didn't award a free kick for a foul on the keeper but deemed it a foul throw by Robinson

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

The wind looked vicious in their favour 2nd half too, and they used it.

 

[Shoreham_Bhoys]

Decent result in the end. Conditions made it tough. Although I'm not sure why we pumped balls into CBs who thrive on arial battles.

I thought we did OK, gave the ball away more that usual, McGoldrick being the most guilty. Their goals was from two daft instances, Berge with the foul which gives them the chance to lump it forward and if I remember correctly, that's how they scored against Palace. McBurnie knows and hopefully learns. But overall I reckon we were the better a team and we look comfortable at this level, we really do. Gotta be pleased with that surely.

 

[bromtom]

I'll take it.

3 points at home, 1 point away is better than nowt, especially with the time between games.

Lots of half chances to full chances, maybe we should have put one away, but Burnley are no mugs.

I wonder if McBurnie wouldn't have been marking Tarkowski if JOC had been on, seemed they matched on height, and obviously Robinson is a shortarse comparatively.

Osborn and Berge won't be displaced as things stand, Osborn has lovely delivery, the ball to Sharp for the assist was gorgeous.

Sander had another good game, nearly scored the same goal as at the Lane and the free kick shot was a proper drive.

Baldock good, Egan took his goal brilliantly, and after I was saying how useless he was at corners. Maybe stop aiming for his head and start aiming for his feet?

Not sure how I feel about Henderson slapping shots out, doesn't fill me with confidence, first one was fair enough, but the second one not so much for me.

Still look a bit delicate at the back but hopefully now JOC is back, we'll be a bit stronger against Wolves.

 

[Geordie Blade]

He definitely indicated that when he blew. He pointed at Robinson.

 

[Blade58]

Decent performance in windy conditions
Sometimes I feel we aren’t imposing enough in the box. A bit powder puff
Happy to get back in it with a strikers finish from Egan. Disappointed though as we needed a win for our Europa push

 

[Sportbilly /Detroit Blade]

I caught half of the game as was looking after my 1 year old....seems like in the main we played pretty decent, if not hitting the heights of the Spurs game.

From what I saw we played the better stuff.

 

[jt64]

Will take that, think we did enough in the first half to deserve a point, obviously if Vydra/McNeil score the chances they should have done it's a different story but it is what it is

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Fair result really.

Spot on summary

 

[bromtom]

Can someone that taped it get a screen grab of Osborn stood next to Berge for the free kick in the second half.

Looked like a 6 year old and his Dad, Sander is huge.

 

[JackSUFC]

Take a point from being 1-0 down but I thought they were there for the taking.

Mcgoldrick absolutely bossed that game and I can only remember him giving the ball away once

Mcburnie just switched off but other than that he usually marks up well on set pieces and does a good job

 

[sheff_blade90]

very happy with that point played well again, Burnley been good team over yrs. sean dyche alot like wilder very organised. doing great things on a small budget & underestimated

if i had 1 criticism its in these tight games you have got to be more clinical. when on top like 1st half
