Was told about Clarke after stoke... told he could play against us in FA Cup and then join. Admittedly source was the same. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Us and Derby have identical records this season, down to goals scored & conceded. W6 D9 L9 GF22 GA32 -10GD 27 points. We were expecting a difficult season and have still had somewhat of a melt down over results/performances. I can't imagine what the Derby forum must be like right now. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 thank you @Smoggydownsouth. Hope it is true. i note Ben Gibson has not made bench for burnley on last two occasions. could be injured mind. Todays result was massive given the team below us picked up points. We now have a 6 point gap between us and 3rd bottom but given the two tough away games that could very much change. Would be over the moon with two draws from the next 2 games.

They have already pulled the sale of stadium stunt so can’t try that one again. I’m sure Rooney’s wages are going to bleed the rest of the pot dry in January. They could suffer severely long term if things don’t improve rapidly for them. Link to post Share on other sites

That's the main negative today - other results really didn't go our way. I don't expect to get anything from West Brom and a point against Preston would be an extremely good result (am only thinking it possible because we seem to have a strange habit of doing better than we should there). We could have done with more of a cushion between the teams below us. Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,401 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Leeds equalise in the 89th minute. Been a bad day for late goals. At least I can laugh at the Sunderland and Newcastle results on the back of our win. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 4 home wins on the bounce makes our home results look a lot better for this season, 9th in the table for home results only... though that's skewed by us playing the current max amount of home games vs. some teams who have played up to 3 games less. It's our away form that is now keeping us close to the bottom, though. In the away table we're sat in 22nd but have played the current joint least number of away games. Today was good in parts. We did start much quicker than they did but when they finally got hold of the ball, we struggled to get it back off them for the rest of the first half. Fortunately, they were pretty wasteful throughout, on another day they could have scored a couple regardless of how Pears kept us in front in the last 25 minutes. The header over and the miss from Mounie were the other end to us but they looked incredibly close. The Mounie one I can only assume he was stretching because it looked like it flicked off Ayala's heel or something on the way through? Not happy about the offside based on what I saw but I'll go watch the highlights in a sec to see if its more conclusive. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 The Mounie one actually double deflected off both Ayala and...Howson, I think. Wasn't an easy finish at all on the half volley. And the offside goal isn't shown in any sky highlights 😞 Link to post Share on other sites
