v Burnley (a) - 31/08/2024

[simongarnerisgod]

very kind of hyam and carter to not bother marking,my mother could have headed that it

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Every weakness exposed.  Brittain soft an can't tackle. Fuck knows where the centre backs are. 

Then the header is right at Pears who is useless as ever.  

[Bethnal]

Conceding from free headers is the kind of thing that happens three steps below this one. Carter horrendously overcommitted and Hyam like a headless chicken in the box for it. Feel for Owen Beck, what a game to be dropped into.

[Old Codger]

FFS.

Powder puff defending. Non-existent marking. Quality cross and finish from the Dingles. Bollux

 

[DE.]

For all the positive additions we've made to our front line, the defence is still a big problem when it comes to seriously challenging at the top end of the division. Just nowhere near the level required, but passable against clubs in a similar position to us. Feels like we're guaranteed mid-table at best until we address almost the entire backline.

[B16Rover]

Bi monthly Callum Brittain is soft and can't defend for toffee post 

[Scoobydo]

Pears won’t start another game for us. Ever

Definitely shouldn’t 

[roverblue]

Every derby game we look totally uninterested, just being out ran and out worked. No pressing or movement just trying to keep the score down by the looks 

[Angry_Pirate]

"Bring on the Dingles"

[G Somerset Rover]

Same shit different day:

Brittain not tight enough to his man.

Hyam and Carter asleep.

Pears absolute dog shit. 

[RevidgeBlue]

Woeful from Brittain yet again.

Doing his usual "Not my job to stop a cross coming in routine."

He's shite. Both in terms of ability and, even more important, attitude.

[MarkBRFC71]

Also Brittain - ok going forward but absolutely gash defensively.  Can’t argue with the attacking reinforcements but the defence has been sadly lacking for years and is League 1 standard.

he can`t defend full stop,far better off on the wing going forward

[CambridgeRover]

I loved the complete bollocks people were spouting about JE being more up for a derby than JDT

Neither of the managers can get anything out of our mentally weak losers. Some of these players are as soft as they come 

[TheWeasel]

Games completely passing us by.

[USABlue]

Was Anthony not offside from the backheel?

[Crozzy]

Not sure whether or have considered JRC for rwb today because he can stop a man making a cross and put a tackle in

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

We look all over the place ffs!

[ItsRoverZ]

I don't get why Burnley fans think they are such a weakened side? Thier starting line up today should walk this league

Averaging 2 goals per game conceded and didn't bring a first choice CB in, and only a kid brought in to cover fullback.

Waggott sat on a throne of money.

[Crozzy]

Wow handball. Ref not interested 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

This is awful. 

They'll get 5.
