Partial side-boob and hiding his six fingers?!? This a Burnley plant if I’ve ever seen one!

Bah. Sometimes I hate this sport and to some extent this club, and that time is now. After an encouraging and exciting start to the season the owners lack of interest once again puts us at a disadvantage. Same thing each season no matter the manager. If I want to see a groundhog day play out every year I’d rather watch the movie, but here we are. I also know that some of the smarter heads on here warned us about this at the start of the season. Such a small squad will be seriously hampered by injuries and suspensions sooner rather than later. Betting on everyone of the first 11 being able to play 40+ games over a season is like taking your life savings, going to Las Vegas and put everything on 42. If it works out….great. But! Most likely you’ll lose everything. Venkys is the player coming back once a year thinking «This time!». It’s a poor mans gamble and seldom pays off and it is just stupid the more you think about it. If they only understood what effect a decent signing or two will have for the manager, the squad and the fans. Particulary those heroes that travel to away games in the middle of january on a tuesday. No need to break the bank. Just give these guys a budget and let them have at it. Stop this nonsense every january. If you won’t spend any money then come out and tell us. Not Waggott. Not Pasha. Effing Venkys. Have some balls (pun intended) and show your faces to the fans who spend their hard earned money on this shitshow. So to sum up I’ve more or less given up on any meaningful signing this window. No matter what name is brought up, manager likes and wants him, still Venkys need to sign the check…..if they have time…or can muster the will to drag their heads out of their asses. Fuck football. Fuck Venkys!!!

That volley from Weimann pretty much sums it up

Batth off. Game forfeit. Doh.

This is just pitiful. Missing so many players due to injuries in a much to small squad.

What the hell Pears? Hope we can pull another miracle and come back from this

Pears keeping us in this. Need to make some changes.

Another save from Pears

That was a kick to the balls we didn't need. Both Trondstad and Travis out. Sigh...

Weimann goes close!

Pears with a great save

I’m thinking the upcoming fixtures including this one is close to impossible to predict. Fatigue will be a problem sooner rater than later so I’m expecting a cautious approach from Eustace. Important to try and avoid suspensions and injuries and at the same time being competitive. So I’ll gladly take 0-0 and a boring game if we come out the other end unscathed. A point away from home is always good. Hoping for another 3 points and 3 goals, but head doesn’t quite agree. Still: COYB!!!!

Different team after the subs. Gueye really made a difference today. In hindsight perhaps Eustace was right with his lineup to spare some players considering games coming up. Brilliant 3 points and good to get some goals. Brittains was a peach. Think he also is my man of the match. Onwards and upwards! Back in fifth. Oxford next brimming with confidense. Long may it continue and pretty please buy some players!

Weimann off for JRC

Weimann superman!

Brittain! Easy peasy .

Big Mak!!!

Gueye coming on

Well that was awful. Enough said.

Bah humbug! Totally forgot it was kickoff at noon so went to the shop with the missus thinking it was starting at 3. Doh. Second game I’ve missed this season and of course we win, but can’t really complain can I? Despite not seeing the game I hope we can put together a cup run this season. It’s always good for morale and winning games is what we live for isn’t it. Onwards and upwards!

Burnley have let in 9 goals so far this season. 9. If we were going to score today we would need something really really special. I think the boys really tried, but the lack of quality was glaring today. Still we didn’t roll over when going behind so that’s progression at least. We really missed Travis today….again. And we really desperatly need a striker. Now. *sigh*

Hedges for Trondstad. Smells of desperation. Think this is over.

Weimann and Leonard on - ACD and Gueye off

How did we not score that?
