    Is he blind in charge we are overrun centrally and can?t get out

    Open your eyes
    It looked to me as though Parker had picked this team before they potted him and Jackson went with it. What was noticeable, at least to me, was that every time he subbed one of Parker's starters and brought his own pick on, they improved, or maybe that was just co-incidence.

    The best analogy I can give was bullying at school dad the big boys came took my ball and would t give it back.

    We are so bullied in games it?s embarrassing the wide men can?t tackle - head ( dont want to ) literally men and boys is the only description for it.

    I turned it off as we collapsed to a strong physical team that gets forward and puts the ball in the box.


    It frustrates me as I?m no uefa coach qualified but I can see what?s happening- the players know on the field if they?re being overrun centrally or if someone?s not going their job - and yet nothing ever happens in way of a reaction ( no change in personnel or shape to stop teams doing anything ).

    I?ve said right from the first game at spurs we?ll get murdered if you allow teams to deliver ball in our box un contested - and we have players who don?t head tackle and track runners in games - those are the bare minimum and fundamentals of playing football.

    Whilst I accept to a point recruitment wasn?t good the points above are the bare minimum and the manager should make the players deliver that.

    It?s all been a bit too nice for me and players were allowed to do as they please

    Thoroughly disappointed in last night as I have to live and work with lots of Leeds fans and we just gave them the game - on the flip side they deserve to stay up nothing but admiration for them and how they?ve gone about it.

    If Laurent gets a shirt instead of Mejbri you deserve potting.

    I hope our last three games are left solely with Jackson in charge.

    Army88 is right, where is the blood and guts?

    Tchaouna runs around like a headless chicken, but at least he does run around and looks like he wants it, he might be OK in the Championship.

    Last night was the worse performance I have ever seen by player wearing a burnley FC shirt.

    We did improve with bringing Hannibal on,who may well be our best player at this time. However most of the starting eleven last night stole a wage.

    Dabravka was particularly poor, he rarely catches the ball cleanly which led to their third goal.
    Humphries passsing was absolutely dire.

    We now have three games to start and look towards the championship and I hope we look to the players expected to be with us during the next season.

    The majority of last nights starting 11 are stealing a bloody wage, the lack of effort was on another level.
    They have spent all week in mourning after the loss of Parker and this spilled over to last nights shambles, they really are a weak pathetic bunch of individuals who aren't fit to wear the shirt

    Questions have to be asked why this was allowed to be tolerated so long, and wtf as Pace been doing?

    Like to add, that we have seen handfuls of performances like Leeds away all season, why this as been allowed to continue from a professional organisation is beyond incompetency

    There were just two players who put a shift in last night.The first was Tchauma who ran around like a madman for most of the game and got his reward with a goal.The other was Hannibal after he came on despite being booed with every touch of the ball he looked a class above.
    As for the rest.Hartman looked like he was already on a plane back to Holland in his head-good riddance.Laurent league 1 standard at best cant even run fast.Humphreys cannot pass,tackle or track back and makes stupid mistakes.Ekdal League 1 again, Esteve good solid Championship defender but cannot head the ball or make forward runs, Walker looked way past his sell by date , Anthony lightweight and got bullied non-stop,Flemming looks like he was already looking to his holidays the a new club, Ward-Prowse ok but waste of money at 85k/week.
    Two out of eleven looked like they wanted to win last night.Enough said.
    Who the hell is in charge of recruitment is my question beause they need naming and shaming.

    I've paid attention to him in the warm-ups mon ami he has one hell of a dig on him. I could not understand why Parker would not give him a run of games.

    Mind you, lots of things Parker did made no sense to me.

    I’ve said it before. Jackson had to be complicit with Parker and last night proves it. The entire back room needs a shake up too.

    I think sinkov was spot on when he said Jackson just went with Parker's starting 11 out of respect.
