    Decent point.

    Played well, probs deserved all 3 but credit to Burnley for solid defending. Cornet looks a class above.

    I think we are looking better this season than the end of last season, we definitely have our intensity back.

    Last 5 were embarrassing.

    At least we didn't lose, but being afraid to attack at the end is very disappointing.

    Loving Broja but slightly concerned our only decent striker is a loan.

    Warming to Treacle Toes though. He might be slow but looks good on the ball.

    Not a bad result or performance in context. I mean look at WARCHEST1 conceding 5 at home to Watford.

    Thought Diallo was excellent today. Tie for MOTM with Tino. Broja and Salisu not far behind. Usual suspects really.

    From where I was sat it looked like Alex could have done better with the 2nd goal. I think a good keeper keeps that out. It wasn't struck particularly hard and was from a fair way out.

    I think he was caught by surprise by how early he took it.

    Not a bad performance, but a shame to not win. Without Cornet, they walk away and lose 3-0 or 4-0.

    Perraud gets in good positions, but his end product is no better than Cedric`s.

    Probably but I think a good keeper is on his toes for that.

    Don't disagree with that. I think he could have saved it but wouldn't class it as a big error or anything.

    I liked the fact that we played with width and through the lines faster today. We could have buried Burnley if we took our chances but surprisingly good game.

    No it's not but I was surprised and disappointed that it went in. Alex made a big save at 1-0 so not going to slag him off.

    Very entertaining game. Bloody tense. I know Walcott will get bashed, but Elyou (still) didn’t do much either.

    Diallo and Romeu forming a very good partnership.

    Burnley are better than people give them credit for (and very well organised).

    Redmonds main contribution was missing from a yard (and taking a corner)

    Still need to be beating teams like them at home though.

    My minimum target from the last 2 games that I would be happy with was 4 points. We got that so a draw isn't the end of the world for me.
