He looked like a child struggling to keep up to me. Wharton, Dack and Hedges looked knackered from kick off to me. Terrifying that it's Hirst, Gallagher and Vale that we have as options up front. Any team would struggle with three first team defenders out. If Brittain, Wharton and Ayala play today we don't concede three, it's as simple as that. Scored two which absolutely flattered us, but if we'd have kept them out at the other end we end up 2-0 winners. That said, overall it was an absolutely soulless display. Pissed off with some players picking which games they want to turn up to. I think it's an absolute travesty that another transfer window has gone by and we have signed a centre forward with a decent amount of experience. The Venky fucking way.

Reporting from the game live. It’s been shite all round.

30 seconds later and you take all three. A point would have been a good result when kicking off but it’s a poor result at the end of the day, all things considered.

He’s terrible in that position and rarely scores so hopefully he starts Hirst and uses Dolan as a sub.

If he’s fit he should play. After this one there’s a week to recover.

There should be for violent conduct.

Decent point… Are you the Burnley Chaddy?

If Buckley comes in and plays like last weekend we’re stuffed.

98th minute. Reminds me of the other WBA game I watched where the ref added 11 minutes. Is this a thing with WBA?

Yep, Dolan's not a CF.

WBA could play all night they still wouldn't score.

How the feck are Burnley still winning this?

WBA look bad up front. Should have scored then.

Wharton, Carter, Vale, Phillips are the ones that have featured in the league so far. More by necessity than choice up to now. Although I'd be surprised if Wharton is benched. Also with squad numbers who haven't featured. Garrett, Barnes, Hilton, Eastham, Harlock, Leonard. Mola (loan), Markanday, Dolan and Morton (loan) are kids developed elsewhere. The rest are in their early twenties, a few mid twenties and one "oldy" in Ayala who is 31.

They look good at the moment but they've just had two good results against Wigan and Millwall. I'd be hoping Rovers do similar with those teams. They couldn't get 3 points against Blackpool at home, was there a reason for that? (missing players, etc?) What's the injury situation like with Burnley? Everyone fit or threadbare like us? Be interesting to see if their squad has depth with all their outgoings and their new players.

If he plays he'll outclass anyone else on the pitch guaranteed. The last time I saw a teenage player that self assured was Damien Duff when he made his debut in a league cup match when he absolutely destroyed Preston on his own. Maybe Phil Jones too. He plays without fear, a lot of skill and seems to be omnipresent covering every area of the pitch, he did the same against Stoke in the second half. If he keeps it up we'll be calling him God. It's all the other players I'll be worried about stepping up.

The mafia? He'll shit em.

He's going to them on loan apparently!

Squibs are small explosives that they use in films to simulate bullet hits. So a damb squib is like saying it fizzled out rather than exploded.

Why we haven't gone for Styles I'll never understand. I'd feel confident in the defence if he was in the squad.

I agree but I guess for JDT this is just the start of his "project" and he'll look to strengthen further in January. Does seem a bit of a missed opportunity though and he did say he wanted 3 signings.

That just sums up this forum 😄

Have Rovers announced that's the end of their business for the day?

He would have been perfect as an upgrade to Pickering.

The fact is, historically, we only have Brereton who will score goals prolifically. That is aside from Dack, but it was a long time since he scored a lot of goals in the Championship... 2018/19. Be great if someone could step up to take the burden off BBD and be knocking them in when he isn't in the team.
