It's normally a few hundred but we'll worth watching. For the match at Leyland it's free for season ticket holders.

The under 21's are playing Porto at Ewood on Wednesday with a 7 pm kick off and Aston Villa at Leyland on Saturday with a 1 pm start. Quite often these are better games than the first team and really enjoyable. It might satisfy your live football fix for a week of the Winter break.

So far this season Burnley have dropped points to Luton, Hull, Watford, Blackpool, West Brom, Preston, Cardiff, Stoke, Birmingham and Sheffield United. That's ten games where opponents, mostly with weaker squads have competed physically and tactically to do enough to get results. Yesterday were were out run, out thought and given a lesson in the way I think Tomasson wants to play. -

Adam Wharton absolutely not injured. -

Rotherham gave them a game recently and they have dropped points to teams much lower than us. And we beat Watford recently who were in the Premier League last season. -

Does anybody think that Burnley weren't hugely better than us in every outfield position? That was the level we were at, second best everywhere including the technical areas. They were quicker, more aggressive, better on the ball, better off the ball, passed better with purpose and had far more intensity. We had our usual pedantic, too many touches style. -

Some decent questions here but Tomasson swerves them like a politician would. -

And to cap an awful day I was threatened with being ejected with my 11 year old granddaughter because we had the temerity to wave a five foot by three foot Rovers flag an hour before kick off. The CCTV operator spotted it and sent this busy cow to tell me not to save it. I asked why and she said we have a zero tolerance to flags (quite ironic really on Remembrance Sunday) and if we waved it again we would be ejected from the ground. After that I spotted at least half a dozen on the Longside including an Indian flag. I also had my flask confiscated outside the ground and when I collected it after the match it was damaged. Never mind though we will roll out the red carpet for them in March when several thousand descend on Ewood. -

What process have I to trust in? -
If you could ask Tomasson one question what would it be? I would like to ask him why he persists with a way of playing that the players just aren't suited to. I'm guessing there will be a common theme here.

It's the morning after the day before and I hope the arrogant Dane is feeling as bad as I do. He just doesn't know what to do when we go behind as evidenced by the nine losses so far this season. In not one of them games have we looked like getting something and playing exactly the same way. -

If he thought that why didn't he play him a left back of wing back to cope with Bensons pace. The right footed Brittain was run ragged in the game in that position. -

I don't know if it's deliberate but their absence today is respected by me. They aren't kicking us when we are down. If that is true then thanks to them. -

And at West Ham Edun played a ball through to Vale that dissected their centre halves. I have asked the question before but how many goals have come from playing out from the back (from any team)? In our case I can hardly remember us getting to the half way line never mind scoring. It's a fad and managers are simply expecting players to do something they simply aren't capable of. -

And when they do come back it's a week in Marbella warm weather training. -

The vast majority of players and staff will be on holiday from tomorrow and not training for the best part of a fortnight. -

The Park Road sign might help you. There is a Park Road in Darwen but that unusual building is not something I recognise. -

But that post is hammering Tomasson for his selection and tactics. Rovers fans are fully entitled to feel bitterness and anger towards him tonight. If you think that was acceptable today then you are entitled to your opinion. -

And again today at three down Tomasson has everyone back in our penalty area for their corners. -

It really annoying that people are posting about our league position as some kind of excuse for today. We've just been battered and embarrassed by our bitter rivals and our position in the league is absolutely no comfort to me right now. -

Losing 3-0 to bigger rivals really hurts compounded by the way we played. In truth 3-0 flatters us and it could have been five. But what hurts me even more is Tomassons comment that he feels sorry for us, the fans. He hasn't a f***ing clue how we feel right now. The condescending, arrogant, patronising dick. I would have preferred him to come out and accept some of the blame for selection and tactics. But nothing apart from feeling sorry for us. For f*** sake the very least we can expect is to match their energy but we didn't do that. We played right into their hands with the inane passing across the back invariably going backwards with each pass. After watching them concede five last week we knew their real weakness. How many corners, free kicks and crosses putoot their keeper and defenders under pressure. None I reckon. Right now Tomasson can shove his over playing, easy to play against shite. He should remember and be reminded of what he said in his first interview. DUTCH DISEASE. And he doesn't look like he has a antidote for this particular disease. -

For anybody making their own way to the land that time forgot Lancashire Police have offered this advice. 1/ Dig out your old 1970's clothes such as flares, tank tops, and platform shoes. Even early 70's attire will do. Crombies, Ben Sherman shirts and Doc Martens will be fine. 2/ If a plane flies over point at it and look bewildered. 3/ When walking still slightly forward to give the impression that your knuckles are nearer to the ground. 4/ If possible keep your hands in your pockets for obvious reasons. 5/ If you are with members of your family cosy up to them as if your are actually lovers. 6/ Say faaave and naaane instead of five and nine. 7/ When you arrive home ensure you have a bath in disinfectant if you have been close to any of them. You will blend in if you follow the above guidelines. In seriousness keep safe everyone and do our club proud. -
