I'd be celebrating a draw pretty strongly. 

Isn't that a bit the same thing. 

I would take a draw in most away matches and next Sunday is no exception but I'm reading some posts like Burnley are unbeatable. As I speak Sheffield United equalise. I think Burnley are susceptible to conceding goals from balls into their box.

Another high cross and Burnley concede a goal.

I was just going to post the same thing. Unfortunately we tend to refuse to cross and pass it back and around. Any free kick in their half should be put into their box, especially with Ayala and Wharton on the pitch.

Their keeper is an absolute calamity. *performance of the season next week no doubt*

Guess we'll know in exactly 8 days.

But for me it's more are they beatable....by us....in an away match.....considering the recent history and current form.

And my brain can't help but spit out a resounding no.

Yeah very much this, these two teams are pretty clear of the field for me. 
Hopefully we’re taking a few clues though. Their defence is pretty average and can’t win a header and the keeper couldn’t hold a pint

Allardyce special needed for me next week. Gallagher, Diaz and Hurst upfront, and spend the week on corners and high balls into the box. They’re beatable on what I’m seeing here. 

[Hannoverover]

Watched less than 10mins of the game and already seen Burnley concede 3 goals! Awful defending from set pieces. More optimistic of our chances next weekend now!

5-2. The machine needs oiling 

[Silas]

This is a fun start to Sat afternoon. 😀

A simultaneous Rovers and England RL win to follow please. 

[Gordon Gekko]

The Machine is busted! They’re all over the shop!

It's a beautiful day!

I'd probably go with the 3-5-2 formation against Burnley and look to frustrate them in attack and score from set pieces.

We definitely need to play with width, they don't like crosses or any height in their box.

Watford and QPR both loosing at home. Good results for us that. Both Sheff U and QPR with very winnable midweek games unfortunately

We missed out on that anel lad. Looks absolute quality. That ndyaiye (or whatever he’s called) also looks top draw at this level

Sunderland really enjoying Mowbray's post match interviews I see. No worry lads, I wish you another four and a half years of this: https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/tm-post-match.1593148/

Absolutely bonkers that they gave him a contract.

They’ve found him out sharpish.

I just hope that Sunderland don't get rid of Mowbray before we play them.

He certainly won't get five years.

Just reading that first page alone I had horrible flashbacks. He’s obviously trying the same tripe there that worked for him here. Working class, honest family man. It won’t cut up there. 🤣🤣🤣. Then reading a few of the comments he still doesn’t do tactics, bigs up the oppo, still very tedious and chucks in his meaningless platitudes like we go again. That’s just from the first page. So glad he’s their problem now.

5 years would be a fair sentence though?

There were times when I felt a life sentence wouldn't be harsh enough.

Nixon reporting Nathan Jones a favourite for the Southampton job be a big blow to Luton's top 6 aspirations if he gets it
