Meanwhile Parker wandering around with his hands in his pockets.

[ClaretinBudapest]

We get the ball in promising positions and then turn back towards our own goal on numerous occasions.What is the game plan?

[ClaretinBudapest]

Could have been 3 or 4.Defense has fallen apart.Edwards on for Ugochukwu.

[army88]

Ballcock were stood still most of the time - no intent or movement everyone looking at everyone else,
They’ve sussed we don’t want to know and are pressing us because as Glen little says we’re retreating.
Balls played into our box players in marked - its embarrassing

Parker out.

[ClaretinBudapest]

We are making a team that have not won in 5 look like Real Madrid.

We need the AFCON boys back desperately and Edwards and Sonne have made an instant impact at least.

Our shape just affords the opposition so much time in the midfield they make serious yards without a challenge.

[ballcock]

Parker doesn't know what he is doing, the players obviously don't know what they're doing, and the worrying bit is neither does Pace.

I honestly can't think of another football club who would not sack their manager who has only got 2 points from 33.
Don't respond with the bolloxxs that he's a good Championship manager so he goes again next season in the championship

We need a new manager Army.One who is proactive rather than reactive.As usual, Cardy waits until we are 2-0 down before making changes.Pointless.

[ClaretinBudapest]

I wonder what positives Parker will take from todays performance...

The best way I can describe that was Amateur

He should be just about saying his goodbye?s

Whatever else is said, we really do need to be getting a fair crack from the officials as well.
Newcastle second goal, blatant push on Laurent not seen as a foul. Today, Walker makes the slightest contact and a push given against him. Laurent makes a cracking, fair tackle ---free kick and a caution. Last minute and Walker does the same ---free kick and a caution.
Florentino challenges for the ball, Brighton player kicks the bottom of his foot ---free kick and a caution. Worst foul of the game when Gross goes through the back of Edwards, yes, we get the free kick, however............................

Almost every time we were involved in any sort of physical challenge a free kick was given to Brighton players who rolled around on the pitch, as is the norm these days. The same thing was happening at Villa v Forest where Villa players were falling around all over the place.
This league is corrupt and regardless of how we are playing it is becoming more and more obvious that some clubs can get away with most things, whilst others can't.
Leeds at Liverpool and Sunderland at home to City both should have had penalties given against them for offences for which we have been penalised this season but nothing given. There is just no consistency in the interpretation of The Laws of the Game and you never know from one game to the next where you stand.

[Vintage Claret]

That is probably one of the worst if not the worse displays I have seen from a Burnley team.

The way we were set up from the start gave very little attacking threat whatsoever. If we are to salvage anything, including pride, we need a change of manager. While Scott Parker comes over as a very nice guy, his record indicates he is not an EPL manager.

Our problem now seems to be that Alan Pace is showing a reluctance to sack Parker.

[ballcock]

We are playing with 7 defenders. 5 at the back and 2 holding midfielders.

This is no way to set your team up to win a match, it plays into the opponent hands by inviting them to attack you

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Sack him now.

[army88]

Sack him now.

Well his after game interview was honest but blamed the players really when he?s the one in charge, I hate being horrible but I think today was as far as it needs to go.
