The difference: Burnleys players look like they eat 3 shredded wheat for breakfast. Rovers players more the sugar puffs type… -

As long as we give it a right good go 😁 -

Quality wise - fair enough. Effort wise - felt like he was half assed both pressing and chasing the ball and i assume that is why he was subbed. But i can have been judging harshly - no doubt he has more quality/ability out wide than anyone else in our squad -

After yesterday would anybody still sign Sorba? He can play but the lack of effort at times was appalling. -

Hedges must do better or corner flag. Wharton should have dragged him down/back after his slip/mistake All the players looked nervous after our goal - that is hard to coach out of players. JDT should have left Sammie on even if it meant hooking Brereton. That said: the deflection was hideously unlucky 🤬 -

Spanish tv is awesome. Crowd noise and excitable commentators ( it helps that I have no idea what they are saying 👌🤣) -

Who do you drop from the bench? -

Deeply worrying. JDT gone in the summer. Will Broughton bring in a proper replacement or someone he can control -

Look at our bench and starting lineup to see where the blame should lie and the deeper issue. Game is not played in a vacuum - coventry would throw everything at us and the changes were to deal with that. With Sorba, Brereton and Dolan on the pitch we have players to counter-attack. With our bench i think we made the changes available to us -

🤣 Think i would have remembered that.. -
Fair play - they did the job, board made a good appointment (not so clear cut at the time), the admin team did their job and everbody really bought into ”do everything we can” including the players. Rovers - look and learn ffs even if it is 10 years late. 2 seasons in a row that we have been in a good position in january only to fuck it up. IMO our head coach is the least culpable and i will be surprised if he stays here if there is not a serious change in recruitment policy/routine in early summer
-
I would say that we have a more skillfull set of players but the others have more strength (physical and mental), more depth (look at Norwich subs today) and more balls/bottle as you point out. often i find the phrase “men against boys” springing to mind but many of our players have 100+ senior games behind them 🤔
-
Agree with much of what you write but not sure about the bit i highlighted. We know our team can mix it when everyone is fit and in form but our squad is pretty thin and we have few leaders that can drag the rest along when it gets tough. JDT is hamstrung but i agree that ”balls to the wall” should have been the tactic today and for coming games

Wondering if Conte has a severance clause? Could be that sacking him at any point triggers a decent payout and from his perspective why not try and make it happen… -

Zinedine Gallagher (zz Sam? 🤣) - sublime backheel -
Read before the game it was must win - we won. On to the next one… Credit to JDT and the players - would not have 10p on us last summer being top 6 with 10 matches to go. However it enda - i hope he stays next season.

Does Broughton actually have that remit or can he only suggest changes to the very people that cocked up?
-
Anyone else get the feeling that Broughton will be deemed responsible and removed/resign in the summer so that the circus can carry on? Now we know why he wasn’t exactly comfortable doing the video about the appeal/failed transfers

Wonder how much cash they wasted on this fantasy adventure?
