    Pity about the penalties Isador.
    I absolutely love your work ethic.

    Can’t agree with that mind thought we were by far better side.

    Thing I’m most proud of is tonight we really showed we belong in the automatics hunt. I genuinely thought we’d lose and look like dropping off.

    We are in this fight.

    Jobe was motm today for me. He's an incredible talent. I know we have a lot of those, but he might just be the best midfielder in the league.

    He's got a drive and determination about him that I'm not sure I've seen in a 19 year old before. I think he's going to the very top.

    I always wonder why they don't just blast it down the middle. I used too. Keepers nearly always dive in pressure situations.

    He’s scored quite a few good chances this season for the very few we create of him

    O'Nien, Jobe and Neil all played excellent tonight and Le Fee for his first match looks like he is going to be what those who knew about him said! What a ball that was for Isidor hitting the post!

    You weren’t playing against professionals

    Trafford even said after the game he was covering the middle

    Isidor should be fined for that. That’s pure greed and selfishness.

    As captain, Dan Niel should be ripping the ball out of his hands and either taking it himself or giving it to someone else.

    Isidor has been quality for us this season and will bounce back, but tonight he was totally unprofessional by taking that second pen.

    Its clear he’s not a natural penalty taker, to take the 2nd pen is criminal.

    Mine too I think. His presence is just too much to ignore. Dwarfs our other CMs and adds that difference.

    Thought the lads were great tonight.... Burnley were what I expected...decent first 15 no goal and no plan B.
    We didn't really work their keeper but could/should have won without the pens.
    They're keeper was a disgrace.. No matter what some on here say defending him.
    Not saying anything about the pens but feel for Isador.
    We have nowt to fear in this league and the lads proved that again tonight. Well done to the players and manager...We move on HTL.

    It’s clear he’s not a natural penalty taker despite taking them at previous clubs


    These ****ing comments are pathetic about his attitude

    .wasn't with dive. It's not possible if struck right. Nah, only semi pro for me. Both poor pens and both in the same corner. He is going to have to take his medicine

    Probably should have been on for Enzo last 15-20 mins. If he was he'd have defo taken one of the pens and we'd have won the game.

    Do those 2 penalties look like they are from a natural penalty taker?

    This isn’t going to be a fashionable opinion as I know I’m supposed to be raging but I thought the pens were decent saves from Trafford. Especially the second one. Very strong hand to both.

    would have put the second one somewhere different personally tho!!!

    Neil shouldn't be doing that at all, if Isidor is the penalty taker and says he wants it - you back him

    I want my striker taking ownership of the big chances

    If isidor says he wants it and Neil takes it off him, he's undermining what was agreed and causes friction

    No guarantees that whoever else stepped up would score it either
