If only we knew how to pass and shot. Surprisingly we were never out of the game but we just couldn't hit the target.

Burnley= Dull & dark arts
For an relegated Premier League team they aren't that special

 

[Awaydays]

Only scored 1 goal away in 5 matches needs to be addressed as we are playing ok up until the last quarter

 

[BojanTheGreat]

Wasn’t impressed with Burnley at all and will be disappointed if we don’t beat them at home later in the season. Not a top six team for me

 

[Green 1886]

Burnley had us at arms reach. Hardie does so much running and work (would be nice if Whittaker showed the same enthusiasm) but we struggle to create a clear cut chance on the road. Cissoko was our main / only threat until he went off. Mumba and Bundu combined well, a significant improvement compared to Ogbeta. He really looks lost and Pallsson very disappointing. Another solid game for Gibbo and Szucs. We didn’t threaten and looked a shadow of our “hope park” selves

Agree with the many comments regarding Palsson. Mystifying signing. Slow and cumbersome and some of his passing was dismal..either lofted into touch aimlessly or so easy to cut out. His specialism seems to be whacking it out for a corner and that's about it really. Of the two I actually felt Ogbeta was marginally better.

I didn't think we'd get anything from the game, yet I'm disappointed as it feels like a point dropped because we weren't near our best. If we had been, it's been a game we could have won, but should have drawn.

Burnley half decent in the first half but an awful watch in the second.

A few off performances from our lot tonight, but thankfully the season won't be defined by this game. The next 4 are more likely to define our season, and hopefully we'll get our first away win and first back to back wins.

Palsson didn't look sharp enough for the game and we lacked Edwards intensity. Ogbeta didn't change my mind, Galloway should be getting in ahead of him, behind Bali given the way Rooney wants to play. Gyabi didn't have his best game, although I don't blame him an inch for the penalty, as we'd all be fuming if he didn't compete for the ball and Cullen shot and scored.
Whittaker well off it tonight, but all the forwards weren't clicking.
Al Hajj struggled, but I don't think that was necessarily down to him, but more the challenge of Burnley - who don't really concede much.

Burnley are able to bring on their £30K a week PL star to fanny around the corner flag for 8 minutes and that unfortunately meant Hatch didn't get a sniff, which was a shame for him. Hopefully he'll get another opportunity.

 

[The Doctor]

Burnley were boringly effective or effectively boring. They’re clearly a hard team to break down (having only conceded 4 goals in 8 games) and they have a few quick and skillful wide players who can pose a threat but really they were so, so boring… and effective. I thought we did okay but just couldn’t get enough time and space in out attacking third to carve out enough good chances. The first 30 minutes or so were a bit of a horror story down the flanks for our defence with Ogbeta and especially Palsson being all of the place but rarely in the right place. Fortunately Burnley were wasteful and didn’t actually create that many decent goal attempts. We were much more in control in the second half which is, I think, encouraging.

 

[Lesley Somerville]

Not an attractive or entertaining game of football.

 

[Mexijan1]

Really funny game but after a couple of Cuba libres pretty happy with that good solid away performance. Not much threat upfront but controlled the game, no backs to the wall defending and deserved a point. Thought we were the better team tbh play like that on the road and we will pick up points.

 

[greenpilled]

Thought Palsson and Ogbeta both battled well against difficult opponents. Ogbeta in particular showed a lot of character, after one of the worst Argyle debuts I can remember and a tough start tonight, to keep going. He had some good moments as he grew into the game.

Yep agreed Oggie was up against one of the best wingers in this league and handled him pretty well.

 

[Koala Green]

Rooney said Tijani had a serious injury and Forshaw is out for a couple of weeks. That’s bad news and hope it doesn’t mean Rands and Gyabi are overplayed and get injured.

Wow that Cuba libre must be strong. You sure you didn't drink them before the game?
