    From the BBC:

    Not an ideal start for Watford against a Burnley side who have only conceded eight goals this season, kept 13 clean sheets and are yet to let in more than one goal in a single game.


    So, got our work cut out now!

    Sounds like Larouci at fault ?

    Another who seems to do well one game but not the next .

    They have not shown a replay but our defense was a bit sparse at the time.

    1 shot off target is all we've mustered!

    Not seen it but WO says the winger was given too much room and the ball bounced over Bachmann so that is one for the DB haters then.

    Burnley struggle against teams who sit back and defend which we don't do or if try to not very good at it.

    We do seem so wasteful though in away games and Baah doesn't peform as well when starting.

    I like the Burnley commentators quite objective about what's going on.

    Has Bayo touched the ball yet?

    Not exactly many options on the bench to change things from an attacking point of view so up to those on the pitch to do so.

    Still gives a chance for those on WFC forums and X to complain and belittle Cleverley as some clearly don't like him.

    Burnley's defensive record shows you have to be pretty creative or lucky to get past them.

    I doubt Bayo is much of a test for them whilst as I say Baah never plays well when starting and probably got Vata/Georgi well marked up.

    Not to say we can be better but then we've said that in a number of away games against much worse sides.
