So much for Burnley's attacking force since they played Sunderland ...

... they've now managed two efforts, on target, in two and a half games

The commentators always claim it's 'two teams feeling each other out' in the first twenty minutes ...

... then it becomes 'a tense battle' or 'a chess game' with neither side giving an inch

Not easy on the eye this one.

Although according to Sky, even though Burnley have a good defensive record they're not a defensive team!

Blackburn game is so poor

Good news for us tbh ...

... I'm hoping the score stays like this but with a few red cards and hamstrings thrown in

You don’t have a defensive record like theirs unless you’re a very special team ie Chelsea under Mourinho early days or you play defensive football. All of the data points to Burnley playing defensive football and not creating enough.

So that stat at half time with no shots make them a very special team then?

Nout to fear from Burnley on this evidence either mind, but will be happy for them to pick up 11 injury’s

This is what Burnley have been doing all season. Superb defensively but create so little going forward. Rely way too much on individuals to provide moments of magic. Not a fan of Parker at all.

Ashley Barnes looks arthritic warming up

yeh I’m getting the impression Blackburn would be happy with a draw and Burnley aren’t figuring out how to prevent that

I was just out all morning at my daughter’s horse riding lesson and I feel arthritic now. ****ing Baltic out there.

I've been topping myself up for the last few days. Might have to keep off it since I'll probably be driving to the match tomorrow

Spurs hit the post. All over them here. Should have had a blatant penalty, too.
