Well playeD

burnley,a very good and solid performance tonight not letting Wolves into the game.. Should have won by 4 goals really but for poor misses.

Very true alf, however, this is where the bit of luck comes in and we aren't having much really.
I was worried for Ben Mee when he made the challenge in the first half because of this stupid instruction to ARs not to flag for offside until the move breaks down. The AR knew he was offside but Ben had to make the challenge.
Another 3 points and only 1 point behind Arsenal. Great team performance.

Yes Ashy,Everybody played well tonight,but my MOM was Charlie Taylor . Superb tonight.

[SAMMY BUBBLY]

However Charlie got to that pass I'll never know but a great display tonight from all the Players. Well done.

All dead right about Champagne Charlie. He had an excellent game as did most of the team. What a great result lets hope we move forward in the next few games and see where it takes us.

Brownhill rattled the bar, Wood and Barnes both missed one-on-ones and young Benson gave away a needless penalty.

5-0 would have been about right.

Just for outwood...

Two of English football’s oldest clubs met at Turf Moor last night and Burnley managed to look a lot more like Burnley as they defeated the old gold Wolves 2-1, to climb upwards and away from the English Premier League’s relegation zone.

Sean Dyche kept his faith in the Chris Wood/Ashley Barnes combo and was suitably rewarded with a goal in each half from the dynamic duo. A special mention too for Charlie Taylor who stood up the perfect cross to the back post for Barnes to open the scoring after the left back had galloped sixty yards to get on the end of an astute pass from Chris Wood.

There are many encouraging signs at present for the EPL’s longest serving manager. Sean Dyche constantly talks about the need for his team to find a “balance”, they certainly managed to achieve that last night. Pope, Mee and Tarkowski form a defensive triangle that is difficult to break down.

The rumbustious Barnes in tandem with Wood gave the Wolves back three a torrid time all evening and neither player should be content with their one goal each, both missing one-on-ones with the Wolves keeper to put real daylight between the Clarets and Wolves.

Josh Brownhill and Ashley Westwood are beginning to look the real deal in the Burnley midfield and Brownhill was particularly unlucky when he crashed an effort against the top of the crossbar early in the second half, after intercepting a poor Neves cross-field pass. A rejuvenated, free from injury Robbie Brady is also contributing enormously to the battle to escape relegation for the Clarets.

Dwight McNeil equalled Burnley skipper Ben Mee’s record in playing seventy consecutive games in the English Premier League, a quite remarkable feat for a 21-year-old fresh from the Clarets’ Development Academy. He certainly looks at home playing in one of the world’s toughest football leagues. A new pair of shooting boots might help to add to this young man’s mercurial talent; all he needs to do now is constantly add to his goal tally and he would be knocking loudly on Gareth Southgate’s door.

Seven points from the last three games have done the Clarets a world of good; Pope, Taylor and Tarkowski have all done enough in recent games to have earned places in the next England call-up. Leeds United are up next for the Clarets at Elland Road, I would love to be in a full capacity crowd to witness this one. Dear Covid, it really is time you jump back on Do One Airlines and seriously “Do One”!

Enjoyed that and it is a shame that it wasn't 5 ----I really would have loved to read Nuno's comments if that had been the case! Since he came to Wolves, they have only won one out of 5 games played with Clarets winning 2 and drawing 2. His win was the first game when we were struggling with the Europa League right at the start of the season.

[1959_60]

Yes, a superb performance, Wolves were well beaten and, finally, our strikers looked much more potent.

And Nuno lost a lot of my respect with his inane comments after the game.

There is nothing inane about criticising Lee Mason 59, he is to football what the LibDems are to British politics, a waste of space on a good day, dangerous on a bad one, and neither really know what they're doing.
