Very, very lucky to get away without that penalty decision yesterday, fair play VK for admitting it should have been given. On the plus side its never a completely bad thing seeing Ince upset.

Get them balls in behind and they can't hack it, Diaz especially is made for the game on the 13th, press the dodgy keeper into mistakes and we walk away with an easy 3 points.

‘Easy three points’ away at the side top of the league with one defeat all season?

Obviously nobody thinks that, whereas plenty of yours do look as if they reckon promotion is in the bag already…

You were saying? I’ve read it on here a few times.

You seriously reckon Ossydave actually thinks we’ll stroll to an easy win? Behave.

Anyone, on either side, honestly expecting an easy win is an idiot.

I’m a lot more confident we’ll get a performance now than I would have been a year ago under Mowbray. Obviously we were starting from a low base then.

My big fear at this point is we try to defend our 4-nil half team lead for the entire second half.

My biggest fear is a weak referee who doesn’t punish your relentless fouling

Also should have mentioned the stonewall penalty we didn’t get when their player simply wrapped his arms around Harwood-Bellis at a corner. 

It seems this is still allowed as is two handed push in the back.  But by god don't knock a player over sliding into a challenge.  Shirt holding on the blind side of the ref is getting quite prevalent too.

You’d have ten penalties a game if you started giving them for holding at corners these days. I agree that something should be done about it though. Not a random pen in the first game of the season but an on going campaign to stamp it out.

Then ten pens it should be.  It needs stopped.  They are fouls, give em.

My biggest fear is Burnley fans climbing the stands and throwing bananas at the away supporters

How rude. 

We've had 1 yellow card in last 180mins of football. 

Not bad in the rough and tumble of the Championship. 

Feels almost like you're getting the excuses ready in advance. 😉

[USABlue]

Burnley are more accomplished and further along than is in their rebuild, why?  well that is easy they bought better quality than we did, they can afford it.  I think almost all across the pitch they have equal or better   We have the better keeper maybe.

One thing may go in our favour more of our players have blue blood and been in Rovers set up longer than most clarets and oerhaps our lads will be a bit more up for this than them.  Maybe.  Either way this game does me head in.

Two games to go before this match a lot can happen before then

I agree, it’s the only way. But don’t do what they did a few years ago when Oojer had just joined us. They penalised him for holding on and then proceeded to ignore every other incident for the rest of the season. I supposed the ref had ticked the box.

We’ve got the best keeper, the best centre halves,  and the best striker. If those lads do their job we should be ok.

Ha ha well played Longers. Made me chuckle that one. Wait till the Wharton boys have finished mauling your fancy dans 😉

No excuses, we need to beat you.

Have you? Conceded more than us and scored less all the same. Let’s see how they cope with our pace and running from Tella, Zaraoury and Benson - not forgetting our wing backs of course. 

Mind you we’ve got the small matters of Rotherham and Sheff Utd first - with a short turnaround between those two making Sheffield and even bigger challenge than it already is. Not unlikely by the time we play you’ve overtaken us in the league.

@longsiders1882 what is wrong with Cullen and Cork?

[Rover_in_the_South]

Go there without fear & play with pride, we will get a performance. All that matters!

Cork was a game suspension for 5 yellows. Cullen we are led to believe was a bit of a knock picked up in the Sunderland game - missed last 2 though. Ideally we’d have both in for the game against you, need our best 11 at their best.

I think @longsiders1882 and @sympatheticclaret should do the Dingles vs. Rovers match preview thread.

'Thank god this isn't that ridiculous bubble game anymore i couldn't stand being bussed in by the police like a criminal'

Dad's team probably, you don't generally pick Burnley if you're a " glory hunter " !!

Hate is an ugly word, in my humble view, it should be reserved for murderous dictators, paedophiles, bullies of any description, BMW drivers who don't indicate and any form of peas, mushy, petit pois or garden !!

Hate has no place in a sporting rivalry, we've all got the same disease, just a different strain of it !! 😁 

Peas? I'll fuckin have you for that!

How anyone could not have an unbreakable love for mushy peas I do not know. It really is a strange place in the land before time.

Go with @sympatheticclaret - he’s far better at these things than I am.

No trains, and minibuses not wanting to get their windows out through.

How else are we getting there? I’ll be happy to get off at Burnley Barracks and see what they’ve got.
