It is a problem how we are going to break down teams that sit back against us. We do a lot better when we can find space in behind, and we did try to draw them out but they weren't taking the bait. I think we did have plenty of crosses in the first half but more from just outside of the penalty area, but they weren't effective enough/we didn't have enough players strong enough to get on the end of them in a crowded box. |

A disappointing chance missed to get three points, rather than relief at one rescued. I thought we were very good in many respects in the first half, although Burnley were shocking. We were very comfortable with ball in midfield and managed to get the full-backs very high up the pitch but couldnt get the ball from the wide areas into the strikers. Burnley were far better in the second half, and we lost a lot of fluency in possession but did manage to play a little more successfully direct and through the middle, so we were actually able to threaten the goal a few times. |

In the first half he was the only player to take players on through the middle. Won a FK and almost put it away. And he didn't stop running pressing and getting all over the pitch. Definitely the best we've seen of him in a while. |

Strangely enough I feel more confident of us winning now than I would have done if it had stayed 0-0. Definitely some overconfidence from us before the goal, they were so hopeless. Hopefully a rocket from JS at half time and positive changes to come. |

Injury crisis? What injury crisis?!? Seriously though, was pleasantly surprised that we managed to put out such a strong team and that they all seemed to be fit. Obviously we still have a lot of important players out; Burrell, Madsen, Chair and Lamptey to name a few that could be really influential this season. But we still managed to have quality players in every position and that's testament to the squad depth we have this season. Was really pleased to see substitutions that seemed more normal rotation and freshening rather than fitness management and damage control. |

He had a shaky start but grew into the game. A microcosm of last season where he looked very ropey at first but improved hugely. Understandable given his lack of minutes this season and hopefully he'll be at his best from now on. |

Yeah a proper performance fitness wise too. Kemper hobbled off, hopefully just tires legs, but other than that no disasters and we were able to make good subs to improve us rather than fighting fires. |

Would have been a great game anyway, but feels really good to have had that bright finish and some strong performances by the subs to carry on momentum. |

Not sure about that. If those players are actually fit to play I think it's a strong squad. Only two kids, Isak and Scarlett on the bench. Adamson and Kolli I'd consider first teamers now. Nobody played out of position, four good defenders in there and a proper CF. Of course it's a big "if" whether they are actually match fit. |

Agree that overall his performances have been less than ideal recently, but he has shown flashes of quality and is consistently available. More "set up our sighs" than "mourning and weeping" if you will excuse my niche Catholic references. And, if you will indulge my Latin humour, not quite time to say "Harvey atque Vale". |

Need a big response here, either from the players on the pitch, the manager or the players coming on. We've been very much second best but we can't surrender games like this if we're going to gain momentum and make some decent of this season. |

Also,.if we make tactical or game managment subs at half time it saves our substitution windows to bring on replacements for injuries, which we haven't always been able to do. |
