We out-Burnleyed Burnley. Vestergaard my MOTM. Given that Salisu might soon be available to make the squad, Stephens could be sitting out for a while.
The early goal meant that we did not have to chase the game and they had to come onto us. With their lack of squad depth and the injuries they had, it again made it easier for us. Good result and the clean sheet a welcome bonus. Something to build upon.
Agreed, well done, 3 points and clean sheet. But almost our first 11 against a patched up Burnley.....We had to grind it out. Get the reinforcements in and quick.
Good to see Ralph learned his lessons from last season. Sometimes you need to adapt your game for certain opponents.
Too often have we dominated all the stats and lost. This time we had less possession, had half the shots Burnley had with only 1 on target and had only 2 corners to their 8. All I have to say is this: **** you statistics.
That was difficult to watch, Seriously boring. But we did what we had to, In what is a very difficult place to go on a cold night. And the 1st win of the season too, For added pressure. We did very well, And bodes well that we can win ugly. The sooner we get some additions in, the better!! The kids just arent ready or great. Tella is miles behind where he needs to be.
Happy with the three points despite a dismal game. Can anyone explain why we are now employing zonal marking defensively at set pieces, it looks unwise.
