Clarets v Baggies match day thread.

Not looking good this WBA giving as good as they get and looking dangerous whilst we are struggling to attack.

Egan Riley you phookin idiot. !
Well played WBA you deserved a draw.

Same old toothless forward play.West Brom looked more likely to score throughout the 90 minutes.I rest my case.

As has been said before, when teams press us we struggle. I may upset bcock but I thought Traff was too casual and caused problems at the back, don't blame him for the goal though, that was down to the ref. I was expecting more of Foster but he is so fragile, he's probably out now till the end of the season, we are now Def play off contenders and if we don't improve that's about it.

And we are likely to face West Brom in the play-offs.

Bugger. Not a foul and they move it back a few yards to give extra space.

Should the referee have ordered the kick to be retaken from where the foul occurred? In the end we only got a point but it looked for a long time like the jammy Blades would get away with another undeserved 1-0. So not entirely disastrous despite the red card to Egan-Riley. This sadly will leave us minus two key first choice defenders with Humphreys sidelined by injury. Good news we are still in the mix for automatic promotion so we move on to Swansea.

I see a couple of things in common this season. When the opposition press us effectively, we really struggle passing out from the back. And when the opposition man mark our wingers we struggle with attacking threat. In both cases i'm not clear what the plan B has been tbh.

Thought WBA were one of the better teams i've seen at the Turf this season. In the end we were probably lucky to get a point.

I will be the first to admit I have been critical at times this year about our lack of intensity. But despite only getting a draw, I thought that was about as well as we have played all season. There was plenty of energy, intensity and enthusiasm in that game tonight. I actually thought it was a decent game to watch, and were a tad unlucky not to get all 3 points. The only thing that was disappointing was Parkers Subs, which came at a really bad time in opinion. Yanking off Flemming off for Fanny features Foster on 60 mins made no sense to me at all. At that point everything was bubbling nicely. Then taking Hannibal off whose energy was 2nd to none was a joke too.

Imo this should be part of the captain's remit, spotting things like this and pointing them out to the referee, it's not as though, apart from calling heads or tails, they have a great deal else to do.
