Clarets v Swansea match thread

[ClaretinBudapest]

We got lucky-thankfully.Never a penalty.Another toothless attacking performance.Flemming is useless,Koleosho is useless.

Obviously delighted for many many reasons. Keeps us in touch with the leaders, another clean sheet, Jay Rod gets a goal, match prediction spot on. We are not playing particularly well but if we can find a greater goal threat we will be a force. Could be the January window will decide our fate.

Another 46 minutes of dross in the first half but we did have a couple of shots on target.Flemming missed a header which was easier to score.
Swansea are not much better either.

Fleming is a duck egg. He missed 2 easy headers at WBA and another today.

It's glaring obvious we are missing a striker, but no excuses for the Fleming misses

January seems a long way off at the moment Sir O.

I’ll do the voice of reason as always

Fleming isn’t a forward and need to play off a front man coming into balls - at the minute he’s doing a Stirling job and his best in a totally un natural position for him - he doesn’t have the pace to run the lines and stretch defences,

Parker is strangling our wide men by playing all our football in front of the opposition- I thought koleosho actually played better coming in on his right foot seems more natural for him.

The reason they’re getting stick is the above but we need a forward with pace and power to occupy centre backs - that’s why they we’re very comfortable today - however we should have scored several times ( which is a plus from no chances ) Vigeroux played very well for them and the referee helped them best he could as well.

A little faith required at the minute I feel with the manager and the team.

I hope we don’t think that was an acceptable display because it wasn’t. Dreadful and a very poor standard. There were only 4 players that were good (Trafford, Egan-Riley, Esteve and Sarmiento). The only one who worked hard with enthusiasm and intensity was Sarmiento the rest were slow and negative. I also cringe when we sing “he’s one of our own” because JRod is not the answer. Bottom line is we have no quality, no enthusiasm and no intensity. Some are not trying such as Anthony and there are others who never learn such as Koleosho we should rename him Koleosho the times he loses the ball is ridiculous. We have no get up and go if this continues Parker will be gone before December and if this boring football continues then I hope he does go because I feel the same way about going.

What a soft penalty. Get in J Rod.

Stonewall penalty for hand ball Alfie. Thank God for Jay Rod.

We simply are not good enough to unlock defences.

We do not have a magician who can provide that one spark of inspiration.

No good moaning, Cardy has made us very hard to beat, we will just have to keep working, but believe me for a home supporter that was a very hard watch.

At 71 minutes almost the complete row of ST holders right behind me upped sticks and left.

In today's football it is,but my way of thinking is if the attacker kicks it against your hand and it's accidental and unavoidable it shouldn't be..
A penalty should only be awarded for deliberately handling the ball.I know if that had been against us I would have been gutted BT..

Anyway,well done to JRod for putting it away..A much needed 3pts
