Gulasci, did ok . 7/10 Rosenior. Another faultless display. 8/10 Dudgeon. Did ok. The second goal three of the back four were culpable. From the throw in both Dudgeon and Dawson were in front of the forward!! And Hobbs was too far away, he went to get it but the forward won the flick on, Chester got done by the flight and Edgar finished. 7/10 Hobbs. Weak header for the third goal. Solid but for me doesnt physically dominate the opposition enough. 6/10 Chester. Worst game he has had at CB. Outmuscled for the first goal by Edgar. Got caught out for the second one. 6/10 Stewart. Bright first half faded badly second half. Was right to bring him off. 7/10 Brady. Always wants the ball, but faffs about too much and wasteful with it. 6/10
Mckenna. Poor for me, got Harpers pointing disease. They nearly scored first minute cos he was pointing and not clearing the middle up. 5/10 Evans. Poor. Neat and tidy. But cant pass a ball forward. These two both got brushed aside easily for Burnleys third goal. 4/10 Koren. didnt get enough ball. Neither CM can find him enough. 7/10 Fryatt back to his best. But lucky second goal!! WTF their keeper doing. 8/10. NB. Didnt adapt at half time to them playing two big lads. Daws was a big no no. It took 3 mins for Ade to warm up and come on!! Why? Why no TC. We needed to keep the ball.
when they hit the bar, did gulasci tip it on to the bar? i thought he did,great save if so.. on reflection they probably deserved a point, and it wasnt quite the daylight robbery it appeared, forgot about that chance in the 1st few minutes when he skinned hobbs and blasted over 1 on 1. chester was beaten for 1st 2 goals, which seemed to be overlooked by many in the dawson bashing.
Pretty sure he tipped it ye. Before we scored the second they were starting to get on top. Rodrigues' shot that rattled the post was just before Matty's second. Chester got beat from the the throw in on that too.

Gulasci could be blamed for first two goals, should come out and get the ball!! Basso in for Tuesday please! Mclean back in for Brady.
I think Chester and Dudgeon both had their worst games for us yesterday, I'm a big fan of both of them but Chester was well beaten for both goals and Dudgeon let the ball come in far too many times, which I always say he never does.
mckenna had a good game again, but as usual, his passing was woeful. He is the murder ball passer i can remember
Thought chester looked suspect at Derby too, out of all the team Chester seems the most affected by NPs departure if not the only one.
You can blame me for the first two goals if you want, but you would be wrong there as well. Gulasci couldnt come for the first one as it was crossed from inside our box down the 6 yard line. He had to stay on his line. Same with the second, had to stay on his line. Gulasci is too easy a target.
Mckenna had a good game but his passing was woeful?? How does that work. He certainly didnt dominate the midfield, cant remember any good tackles or good headers. So how did he have a good game. Him and Evans were dominated by Bartley?. Both brushed aside by a Burnley player like they werent there for the third goal.
I thought Mckenna played well and I have to agree that Gulasci was definitely at fault for one goal possibly 2 by not communicating with his defenders. There was also an incident where Dudgeon headed a cross out for a corner when there was no one near him and it needed was for the keeper to shout at him that there was no one behind him and it would never have been a corner...this might have lead to the lead up to one of the goals actually. Either way Basso is by far the more accomplished keeper fo the 2.
Gulasci's biggest problem isn't his individual errors(other than at Leeds obviously), it's that he instils no confidence in his defenders, the defence is definitely suffering from Basso not playing.
Hit the nail on the head! Gulacsi is a good shot stopper, however Basso is both a good shot stopper and a good communicator
