Burnley vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[WATFORD zero]

I think we are cancelling one another out. Great start, but Hoops replied immediately when we were least expecting it.

I wonder how much a sponsored minute gets you lmao

HT 1-1 Albion should change to long-sleeved shirts for the second half.

Zamora has been great - sure he can't last 90 mins and then we will have a problem. Good first half bar the bad pen decision

 

[Mackenzie]

Cancelling each other out.

Both of these teams would need serious investment if they went up

Insightful, thanks.

 

[Official Old Man]

Half time. SOFA SOFA

 

[Seagull58]

Need to score 2 more 'cos Hoops is sure to create 1 for Burnley. He is so full of himself now he's almost floating.

Not a huge fan of Hemed

Given our lack of options on the bench, I was wondering if Hemed might (barring injuries or red cards) play the whole game for the first time since we faced Fulham.

 

[Driver8]

Hoops definitely MOM for Burnley at the moment.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Miserable half of football, but we'd be ahead without Hooper gifting a penalty. Joke referee.

 

[sydney]

half decent first half......great start , hopefully hoops looks at the replay of his penalty decision and atones in the second half , we can win this game.....Hemed is " out of touch ".......badly needs a goal or 2....or subbing...Greer back to his old self ....1st half over all 7 , can do better.

I think one of the guys on here said he had this as the last match in an eight match accumulator on both teams scoring. Happy days for him

 

[Hampster Gull]

I am really pleased after that first half. This was positioned by many as the biggest challenge this year and are clearly at least equal. Could all go wrong as Boyd looks good but i am feeling more positive for the season

 

[Lethargic]

I think we can now dismiss the idea we are only at the top based on luck. We are as good as anyone in this league.

 

[warmleyseagull]

Replay shows thats a pen all day long, Dunk might have been pulled but he had held of the shirt first before corner taken and kept hold of it. It usually isn't given but too obvious not to on this occasion.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

I have to say i have been very very impressed with Greer during the first half. A great performance since he has been out for so long. Bobby has had a very good half too.

 

[patchamalbion]

Pleased with our performance on the whole so far. Zamora has been excellent and we'll need another 20 minutes or so from him.
Dominated possession but given the ball away a bit easily! March has been poor, his crosses have been lofted deep too often. I think we're missing the injection of pace from Kaz.

Win here would be huge!

 

[Marty McFly]

Half time bacon butty time!

 

[Pantani]

Wow. Watch it from the start of that incident. Two maybe three pushes on Dunk. Where were you looking then Hoops? Dunk stupidly holds the shirt, then the pen gets given. Dunk should have let go of the shirt though, there was no danger, Duff would never have got there. Never a pen for me, but Dunk was still culpable.
