CH's sitting back after a narrow lead tactic should go extinct, it will NEVER work, especially in a big game like this

Burnley were always going to go direct late on. We lost the 3 points by not converting our chances. Hemmed in the first half and a couple of poor decisions/ executions of crosses in the second by Murphy who otherwise had a great game. Yes, the ref/ linesman got it wrong with the 'goal' but Barton should have been sent off for the stamp on Kayal. How did Pawson miss that? Disappointing but still seven games to go. Five wins should still do it.

I said after 15 minutes the only way Burnley will score is from a corner, every time they got one they got a head to it, although we have improved it shows how many points you can get if you take a decent one.

I am not against it, but we do not have the players to do it, as has been proved again, so why continue to do it.
I feel for Goldson, Bruno and Kayal who were immense and deserved to win that.
Very angry, something must be looked into with Pawson/Barton, that was just not right whichever way you look at it.
I would not have minded a draw (too much) but we really should have won that.
Once we all calm down you will realise that we are not out of it by a long way. Plenty of twists and turns yet.

Barton shouldn't have been on the pitch, seem to remember pawson sending off Barnes for something far more innocuous. Barton goes off, whole different game.
Got unlucky with Barton not going. Got lucky with the goal that should have been given but wasn't. Plenty to play for.

End of the day it feels like a loss but we were sensational at times during that match! They couldn't handle us!
Barton should have been red carded but they had a clear goal! Table doesn't look great for autos

We should have won that game, we deserved to. So frustrating.
We should have taken more of our chances.
We shouldn't have sat back so much towards the end of the game.
Barton should have been sent off at least once, possibly twice.
Why was Bruno taken off? Was he injured? I thought he was immense today, and we missed his composure when he left the pitch.

Hughton and Calderwood were both defenders. This is why the Albion go all defensive in the last 15 minutes of a game and invariably cock it up....
They need to get a ex-striker on the management team to offset the defensive mentality because it's not doing us any favours.
Could Zamora retire and take on that role?

Burnley are undoubtedly talented and have qualirty players like Gray and Keene, but they are also dirty niggly @##$. Still, onwards and upwards.

Draws are pointless at this stage of the season and it was a must win end of.
Boro 3 easy home games next and Burnley 4 ahead with both having superior goal difference.
That late goal decided our season although the playoffs is still a great achievement this season.
I'd have taken a point before the game, but it's a gutting feeling
This. All day long, this.

Staying down, not gonna win the playoffs with these defensive tactics.
Won't get a sniff of a chance of promotion next season what with Villa and Newcastle or Sunderland coming down.

Sums it up nicely....there's still a chance of auto, but a hell of a lot smaller than at 90min!
You need players like (not as extreme) Barton in a good side.

I don't think he is totally to blame, to come off the bench with Burnley pressing and the incredible tempo of the game it takes time to get into the game and up to speed, he should never have come on in the first place.
