Loved Matty one of my all time favourites but I have to confess I always believed he wasn’t wearing a helmet and perhaps even felt a little bitter towards him for it. Remember after a midweek game at Anfield the world was at his feet, measured up for flight socks and then it all went horrifically wrong. Also remember him scoring in one of Hughes early games and we all thought he was back

Been away a few weeks so looking forward to this one. I caught the last home win and thought we played pretty well and saw some of the Hull game but not seen anything since. As long as we don’t launch balls at Danny Shittu for 90 minutes we should be ok here

I’ve said before that he needed a new coach maybe. I was potentially being harsh on benson as I know nothing about him but he wasn’t improving, his instincts remained superb but the finer arts of the goalkeeping craft weren’t there.

Talking of postcodes and support I’d be interested to see how Rishton has changed since the 90’s. When I was growing up it was heavily Rovers but it seems an almost 50/50 split now with increasing numbers of Burnley fans! A few have probably drifted to Stanley as well

Pretty sure someone on here predicted that exact thing a week or so ago

Glad to see Barnes do well, local lad, St Paul’s Feniscowles I think

What are the chances the dropped games will be forgotten about with no further punishment now? Should be a minimum of another 6 points off for the two games postponed

What a bloody win that is, perfect away performance

That save could be huge, exactly what Walton needed

And also assuming the club get the pies and beer for free

I’ve realised who Johnson reminds me of. Its Jermaine Jones, full of energy throwing himself into tackles, you accept a fair share of bookings will come his way as part of the package

Found this tweet interesting: Spurs new stadium stays open after the game, people genuinely seem to stay around having a beer and socialising there

Not to dwell on a negative but Walton was lucky today for that one he came and missed

Second half created a few good chances, Buckley set one up for Rothwell and had a good chance himself that he skied A move towards the end of the game was glorious but a block came in Better signs for sure

Huddersfield manager beat him to it

Superb win, real shift put in; we crumbled for a while and then regained composure. Gallagher was superb and the backing from the stands was, fully behind them and picked them up when they got leggy

Would have left DG on but he was tiring

Downing been class again

Really bad tackle from Johnson there, yellow card

Much better this, ref gone very card happy though both full backs booked

And another

Within two minutes Bennett launches a sensational counter attack......for them

I wouldn’t say he’s far from the problem when he cost us a goal and would have cost us another if not for poor finishing in our first game

TM: "Our opening games are seeing us come up against teams with ambitions to be at the top end of the table this season. It's tough run of games but we're looking forward to them because it gives us an idea of where we should expect to be." We played Charlton at home Tony, where’s our own ambitions?

More anecdotal evidence but I’ve seen more folk on twitter losing patience with him. His comments post game last night haven’t gone down well
