    Not sure we deserved 3 points, hard graft to get them. Good team performance.

    REALLY good start to the season... lots of positives over the three games... and a really good attitude...

    but we only had 5 shots with one on target

    How quickly will last season be forgotten? Until our first home defeat I expect.

    Shocking second half stats, but we go top temporarily.

    Midfield looked lost without Cleverley and Choudhury - hope Cleverley's injury isn't too bad.

    I liked Asprilla's little cameo - looks up for it, certainly not afraid of bigger players.

    I think a lot of that was grinding out the win. I thought Bayo worked hard and Asprilla was definitely exciting. Ref got a bit over-excited with his carding arm on young Asprilla. Very good new signings it seems.

    COYH!

    3 games, 7 points and we've not really got going. Also, the fact that we've played some of the potential bigger hitters too helps.

    Great win given the circumstances.

    Had to ride our luck yes but certainly worked hard to try and keep them out

    Best week in Bachmann’s WFC career .

    Actually looked solid in defence and midfield was better .

    Shame Kamara will miss games - excellent until the Red card.

    I was under the impression that it is only a one match ban for a red card from preventing a goal scoring opportunity. Am I wrong?

    He is a nasty pieces work, he should be sent off every other game he plays, but then that suits Burnley

    Not The best of games but we are creating our own luck and not giving away stupid goals

    Once our Manager gets all the players he needs we can develop into a good team

    Top of the league with a work in progress cannot be too bad

    Some still need some cheering up !

    Yes wasn’t fantastic football and we had to be lucky but were mitigating circumstances.

    Bayo came on to add physical presence up front.

    Choudary was probably tiring a bit and it was unfortunate for Asprilla he came on then basically pretty much had to defend as he might have had that surprise element in attack .

    That's the hallmark of a quality player: been out of it and off the pace for44 minutes and then.... BOSH!

    Surprised as there were lots of empty seats.
