Managed to miss the game again.  I've seen the result but was the game like?

we were the only team that looked like winning it 2nd half, Burnley rain the first half despite Burnley's dominance we limited them to very little. It took a freak goal, djieng will be disappointed but the wind was an added factor.

And what a goal from djiksteel, can anyone confirm if it we kept possession from burgzorg's backheel helping us out of tight spot in defence to the goal?

Also, the finish was mad, dinked perfectly with what was his standing foot, you don't see that very often at all. He got sky motm deservedly.

Burnley are very good and not many teams will take anything from them this season, I'll take a point today.

And even better, Carrick is secure in his job, until Leeds at least...  Haha

I was saying before the game I would have settled for a point, but those two big chances & in the second half & Burnley just huffed & puffed I feel a bit disappointed, not with the players, they were excellent tonight, just the missed opportunities

Dijksteel worthy MOTM, thought he was excellent & a very good goal too

Great opening goal, we were then under the cosh for the entire first half.

Much better in the second half, had some very big chances and could easily have won it.

Overall a point was fair, but it could have been 3.

It was very wet and very windy, played a big part.

Do the Club have any control on who they put forward for an interview, in which case I'd put forward the thickest, dumbest and most inane individual to frustrate the heck out of them. Either that or a quick thinking wind up merchant.

First half we seemed to sit back were under the cosh after taking the lead. 2nd half had alot of chances should of won the game but fair result

Put Woody up. "The rain is lying". That should fox the interviewer.

We played some neat football and deserved the lead then it was backs to the wall and last ditch defending as Burnley put us under the screw for the remainder of the half and scored a worldie, well almost, Dieng was too far off his line and Roberts shot was I suspect swirling wind assisted.

Second half we gave a good account of ourselves but Burnley were really sharp, quick and incisive. We did however have the better chances and restricted them to only one I think versus around three to us, two of which would have went in on another day.

A point away at Turf Moor is a good point but with a little more composure and Dieng being better positioned it could have been three although a draw was probably a fair result. The Ref let the game flow and the only booking came in the 93rd minute for a pull back so I'd be happy to see him Ref one of our games again.

I meant in the league table. I thought we were convincingly better then Sheffield United but they are far more consistent than we are

That's how I remember it and I hope that's how the video highlights recall it too as it was a sublime piece of skill that started a series of passes that ended up with Dijksteel's goal.

She was the same clown who interviewed Coburn after the Leeds game and said about it being his last goal for us etc. Terrible really, they're only kids in reality and she's trying to get a sound bite out of them with leading questions.

It's not that good!

I'd say it was fooking awful, miserable is several levels below that.
